No trees, and a weird layout 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 15, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This park is nicely manicured with mowed and plenty of landscaping, including bushes, flowers, and all manner of desert flora. There are some courts for some sport (bocce?) that you throw over on the 3rd hole, and the park looks like it could be fun for some other activities.

Every hole has a concrete tee pad and a little map with the distance. There is a little bit of elevation here, but only a little. If you want to work on your ace total, this is probably the place. At least five holes are very ace-able.

Cons:

There are only seven holes. The map(s) on this site show two holes that don't exist (no tee pad, no basket). I played a made-up hole between 4 and 5 (throw from the sidewalk to the basket for #6) since there is an absurdly long walk. Navigation was surprisingly tough for such a small place.

Although I like having a couple short holes on a course, holes 1, 2, 4, and 5 are way too short (~150 feet). When you could almost jump putt your drive, the hole is too short.

No trees, so there is no shade. At one point I stood in the shade of a utility pole for some relief from the sun.

Other Thoughts:

Vegas is really under-served with courses considering the population, so I can't argue with any course that makes it into the ground. There are a couple fun shots here, and if you play everything that isn't grass as OB, there is some challenge. But don't go out of your way to play this one.

Note: there is a rocky, desert area behind the tee pad for #2. I didn't explore this area, but it looks like there could be a much more challenging course installed here (a back 7, perhaps?).
