Small...but not without it's charms 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is pretty and clean. Mostly wooded holes. Nice mulch paths between holes. A number of shots that require you to shape a line. Tee signage was just discs nailed to a tree with writing in marker, but each had the distance and the general location of the basket, which I appreciated. Tee pads in pretty good shape. Pretty easy to follow (minus going from 2 to 3). Beginner friendly but can challenge better players in a few spots as well.

Cons:

Very short and tight. You won't be airing it out anywhere on this course. It's a shame they couldn't use more of the park as the course is clustered in one area. On the positive, it seems to reduce overlap with other park users. A little confusing going from basket of 2 to tee 3, could use better signage there. Definitely no "wow" holes or anything that could be considered signature (not that I was expecting it from a public park 9 hole).

Other Thoughts:

This is a great course to take beginners or those learning the game, as there's enough woods and structure to make it a little interesting, but all of the holes are very short. For experienced players, this course would be good to get in a quick round if you're pressed for time or want to warm up before going to one of the bigger area courses. Plenty of ace run opportunities as well. It's neither a positive nor a negative, but I did find it noteworthy that at least 4 holes have a moderate to severe dogleg right (and almost none in the reverse) - I guess they really want you to work on your forehand. I'm a RHBH player, so it added to the challenge a bit and gave me an opportunity to work on those shots. Overall, I enjoyed my round but I don't think I'd go out of my way to play it again. If I lived in the neighborhood I'd probably frequent it more often. There are much worse 9s out there.
