Short and Sweet 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 31, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Decent selection of technical wooded holes after the three starting open holes ease you in to the round

- New Dynamic Veteran baskets catch well and are easy to see

- Quick to play through, you can probably play through three times in an hour, great for practicing your short game

Cons:

- Very short, and first three holes have limited challenge

- Tight wooded holes don't feel designed but just placed on a trail path with very thick rough off the fairways

- No real place to park right at the course

Other Thoughts:

This is a very short course squeezed into a small corner of Page Park. It's not a bad little course, and there is definitely a fair bit of challenge to be had despite the average hole length being barely over 200 feet. However, it does feel like limited effort was made in designing the layout.

The first three holes play around a small open field with a blacktop housing a couple basketball hoops in the middle. There is little challenge here, bit still a slight concern of discs finding the road on Hole 1 and the basketball court on Hole 3. The course starts in earnest on Hole 4 as you drive from the open field into the woods. The final 5 holes play along a preexisting walking trail that forms mostly straight fairways with baskets tucked slightly off to the right or left. Playing this course regularly will definitely help accuracy of your short game. You can play through very quickly and with the deuce or die nature of the course I can see multiple runs through hunting for missed brides being fun. Some minor elevation change is employed here, with Hole 9 being the "signature" hole, playing downhill to a basket with a drop-off behind and effectively requiring a shot through a natural triple mando formed by a tree trunk and an L shaped branch.

There are a few locations where tees are close to the preceding baskets, but the course is so short you can always see if the basket area is completely clear. There isn't really a good option for parking right by the course. Gravel parking areas to the east and west of the course require walking several hundred feet to the first hole, and the closest potential parking area places cars in danger of discs from Hole 4. Between the various potential conflicts and wooded fairways formed by walking paths, this course feels a bit like it was just tossed in without much thought.

The tee signs do their job, showing the hole number, distance, and par. No top down view of the fairways is needed as all baskets are visible from the tee. Tees are natural but flat and concrete pads aren't really missed with the short hole length. The Dynamic Veteran baskets catch well and there is a large course map by Hole 1.

Page Park is a nice, short course for locals looking for a quick round or wanting to work on their short game and accuracy, but for anyone traveling from any distance, Sinnissippi Park 15 minutes down the road is an infinitely more entertaining course.
