The Start of Something Decent

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 12, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

REVISED LAYOUT HAS REMOVED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL #1 and #9


+ Designers have put together a clever layout bringing in elevation, mixing woods and open


+ Hole #1 is a shorty, but features a very narrow gap through woods and across a gully


+ At 260', Hole #2 isn't the longest of the 9, but it's a slight uphill straight shot with a fairway that narrows into a protected green. It's a nice hole that rewards precision with a birdie look


+ New Prodigy baskets



Cons:

- Public multiuse park with walking trails that interest with a few holes. Probably gonna be hold ups onbusy days


- Hoping that permanent tees and signage are in the plans now that the layout has been fixed


Other Thoughts:

~ Plastic clips on top of some of the baskets indicating the direction of the next tee


~ Natural tees, no signage. There are short 4x4 posts in the ground to mark the tee areas. Since the course is only a year old, there might be plans to add signs


~ It's a short park course, but it has some pretty holes that show promise. Hole #9 is the long one, and it's worth multiple plays: 345' with some trees affecting the lines you can throw, and deep rough all along the right side with a fairway slanting down toward the rough. The basket is tucked in on the right, so it calls out for a RHFH or turnover - but anything that's too high or too fast risks ending up in the deep rough


~ Overall, a short park nine that could be a pleasant and interesting play - once it's finished
