Typical club course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 21, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

New DGA baskets (double chain) with large numbers on top facing the tee. Tee areas marked by large circle signs with tee number - signs either on trees or on ground. Nice little park with some obstacles and some lines to shape. Good use of available elevation. No chance of disc loss unless you throw it into a fenced-in area (which is easy to avoid).

Cons:

No tee pads - tee area only roughly indicated. No distances on the tee signs just the hole #. No map but navigation was pretty simple. Very short - most holes are about 200 feet long with #9 being under 100 feet. Throwing near fenced areas and backyards on some holes; other holes go through club area which could be unplayable during other activities. A couple of holes play along a public walking path (saw several Imperial dog walkers). Definitely not worth paying to play. Some fairways overlap.

Other Thoughts:

I know I probably shouldn't have played this course as this website claimed that only members and guests can play and the fee for that is not friendly. I went on a December Thursday at 1 PM just to see what this course is and the parking lot was empty and the clubhouse was closed. I decided to walk the course to get a feel for it and found it to be short and also to extend into the nearby neighborhood (although maybe Westleigh owns that walking path and the surrounding land). It's an okay course for a club - good for kids and maybe some funding event. All holes were outside the fenced-in areas so I decided I would play a quick round. I met several people walking dogs who were friendly and had wondered what these silver things were in the grassy areas.

Hole #1 plays from near the entrance along a flat area to the left with the basket at the top of a dropoff. #2 tee is to the right and plays down a hill to a basket near the tennis courts. #3 tee is up the hillside and plays out to a basket beside the walking path. Then you backtrack up the path and throw to #4 which is uphill along the walking path. #5's tee is across the walking path to a basket behind some houses on the near side of the creek. #6 plays along the near side of the creek behind the houses. Then you walk a path across the creek and #7 plays in the opposite direction on that side of the creek with the tennis courts as your right hand boundary. #8 plays up the walking path heading toward the parking lot. #9 is just a short filler to get you back to the parking lot. Ta da and you're done. I spent 5 minutes scouting the course and less than 20 minutes playing it. Nobody accosted me but I was uncomfortable knowing that I probably was trespassing (even though there were no signs and people were using the walking path). Also basket #4 seems to be in someone's yard.

No reason to return except maybe to play in a charity event. But good for the club members especially their kids.
