Richland Middle School is home to a decent little 9 hole course. The course plays along the outskirts of the wooded area on the west side and in an open grassy area on the very southwest corner of the property. The fact that it does play along the treeline saves this course from being a typical wide open school course.

The baskets are some kind of blue temporary models. They are mounted into the ground though which was kind of surprising, but in a good way. The blue makes them more visible than most at least. One basket and pin position per hole.

There are basic tee signs for each hole. They have a very rudimentary hole map, hole #, par and distance. The best part about these is it gets you to the intended tee area. All signs were present and in good shape.

The flow of the course is pretty straightforward here. The course starts by the SW corner of the parking lot and plays basically clockwise around the western section of the school. There's no long walks between holes either. Very simple routing from hole to hole.

The design is about as good as can be expected for what there was to work with out here. The fact that they hugged the treeline makes this course much more enjoyable than it otherwise would be while at the same time staying away from after school activities.

Free to play and well tended to grounds here. The course is also permanent and would be a nice little spot in the winter months if you were local.

The tees are natural. Not a huge deal for a course like this. The holes on the southwest corner (3 and 4) are in a clearly flood prone area judging by the look of the terrain and my muddy boots when playing. The rest of the course is not an issue though.

The baskets are pretty terrible here. Thin, single chain models that don't catch worth a damn. Hole 8's cage was busted at the welds to the pole and there was no basket for hole 1. We played to hole 5's basket to start, which was where the tee sign made it seem like it was supposed to be anyway. It worked fine that way. Just know that the Udisc map will be off from the start but from there on it's correct.

Not available when school is in session obviously.

This is kind of your typical half assed school setup. Not worth going out of your way to play obviously but can be played quickly if you happen to be near here. Honestly though, I'd play this one from time to time if I were local due to the lack of courses that close. Passable sums this one up nicely.
