New 9 Holer Near Athens 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's a new course with good signage, new (gravel) tee pads, and brand new disc catcher baskets. Mix of open (1-3) and wooded holes. Fairly easy to navigate once you find the first tee. I had to ask a worker where it was - left front of park near the library. Open holes around 300 feet, with wooded holes much shorter. Definitely birdies to made here, even for a rec player like me. Course has real bathrooms which I needed to clean lots of mud off my shoes from going into creek (see below).

Cons:

Only 9 holes. Relatively short which is a con for some. Open holes simply wind around the outfield fence of the ball fields. Some of the wooded holes are "poke and hope", not always a clear line. One wooded hole (5?) crosses a deep ravine / creek not visible from the tee. I hit a tree and had to trudge very carefully down the ravine and into the shallow creek. Biggest con of all is hole 9 ends nowhere near hole 1. You have to traverse the entire park to get back to where you parked.

Other Thoughts:

First tee at front left of park. I initially went to the back of the park and found the 6th hole. I almost started there, glad I did not as previously noted course does not route so hole 9 finishes near hole 1. If you arrive in two cars, park one at back of park near 6, and then drive back to front of park. When you finish you'll be near number 9 and avoid that long walk back to the car. I would have given this course 3 stars except for the long walk back to car.
