Don't bother 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well, there is suppose to be a map at hole 1
Posts mark tees with hole number and distance listed.

Cons:

Hole 1 basket and practice basket are missing
Grass tee pads (not a lot of play here so they are still grass)
most of the course is wide open, and I mean wide open.

Other Thoughts:

It is not good when you read the "course conditions" and it says baskets 1 to 4 are missing, play the spring layout.

So after starting on hole 5 spring layout, you look over and see basket 4 in the fall placement. So I walked over there and could see 3 basket, then 2 basket. So I went over to play hole 1 and no basket.

Hole 1 is a short little hyzer with a few trees blocking a direct line, but no basket so I played the last tree. Then the rest of the course was in the Fall layout. I walked back across the parking lot (much farther than hole 1's distance) and threw a simple open field shot to a basket in a tree line. Not much to the hole.

Hole #3F is a shorter hole along that tree line, the trees are pretty big, but it is just a little low hyzer.

Hole #4F is almost the exact same shot as 3, but longer.

The a long walk over to hole #5F that throws along the park boarder/road/fence to the basket. Not really any tree's to get in your way. A few bushes I guess you could get stuck behind, but not any real challenge to this 400+ft hole.

#6F post is missing, but you basicly throw from teh edge of the park down 450ft across a small dent, so there is a little elevation. Just not a single tree comes into play.

#7F is a shorter slightly downhill shot with not a tree in sight.

#8F is actually the best hole on the course 400ft shot across from one slight hill to the next with a bush blocking your view of the basket from the tee. But this bush and about 4 others are the ONLY things in this section of the park in the way.

#9 throws back up the slight hill with the parking lot on your right. Unfortunately, I parked in that corner spot and almost hit my Flex with my drive that turned over. Not a tree in sight on this hole either.

Now I was at my car, if I had parked by hole 1, I would have to walk all the way across the park back to my car. I do not like that.

other notes, this was a popular park for other park users. There were very few parking spots along the road. Plenty of parking at hole #1 though.

Would I play here again?

Hell no, this is a wasted space for baskets. There is nothing really to work with in this park. If you really wanted to put in a course here, make it a bunch of 200 ft shots starting from the playground area and make it a family friendly course. 400ft holes, even though they are wide open, are not family friendly.

Have a fund raiser and plant some trees, you could "build" a good rec course here if you wanted, but right now it is a horrible course.

Disappointing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice park
Tees are marked with posts

Cons:

Holes 2 and 3 are missing.
Wide open fields with no trees.
Confusing configuration.. with it so wide open you can't tell which target to throw at.

Other Thoughts:

I wouldn't play here unless you live in the area and are just looking for a place to practice!
