Nice little pitch'n'putt

Pros: -You will work your short game. If you aren't a technical player this course will teach you to be.
-You will work putting. Being a pitch and putt course your score will hing on your ability to make 20'-30' putts.
-Its short so it is good for a quick round or if you want a lot of practice you can get a couple of rounds in quick.
-Well maintained despite the small DG community in the area.
-Lots of ace-able holes

Cons: -Because it is short and can seem monotonous. Drive, putt, putt... drive, putt... drive putt, putt.
-One of the baskets was stolen so you just have to pole it... no one's fault just kinda stinks...
-Tee signs aren't the best but I've been spoiled by some very nice ones. although the basket is never far from you.

Other Thoughts: Nice little course, right next to an old park. Everything in the area is small. There is a PIAS 10 minutes away that you can check out. Also in the summer, remember your bug spray and germ-x for poison ivy.

Pros: Many interesting and complex lines that are well suited to using a putter off the tee. Opportunites to throw hyzers, annies, FH, S-shots with your putter. Doesn't require an arsenal of discs: you can do well with stable fairway driver, a mid, and a putter you feel comfortable with for shaping short holes from the tee (only used a distance driver on 2 holes). If you're not comfortable throwing your putter from 180' or so, you should be after playing here.
Paths from basket to next tee in the wooded section lined with logs - looks neat and made navigating holes 4-14 pretty foolproof. Course is layed out pretty intelligently, and actually flows better from hole to hole in the heavily wooded section than it does on the lightly wooded part of the course. Thanks to the locals for their TLC - it really shows!
Cement tile next to each tee box shows hole #, distance, and basic line to the basket.
Many Ace and Birdie opportunities, but they still aren't easy. Pretty much every hole is dueceable (except 3 & 18 if you can't drive 300').
Relatively compact course makes for quick rounds. Never been here before, and even taking time for a 2nd tee shot every once in a while, I was done in under 75 min.
Well maintained course (and park for that matter). Quiet, no trash, concrete tees, baskets in good condition (except for #14).
Plenty of shade in mid-summer.

Cons: - If you don't like trees, stay away.
- A few of the open holes share area used by other park vistors; had to wait for pedestrians on a couple of holes.
- Could uses more long holes.
- Some will say this course requires as much luck as skill.
- I realize you can't change the land, but this course is completely and thoroughly flat.

Other Thoughts: If you like short, tight, touch shots that slice through densely wooded fairways, this is the course for you.
While this course plays to my strengths (control and short game), doesn't highlight my weaknesses (distance), and I had a good time playing here, many will find Parmalee too short, frustrating, and a bit monotonous. Trying to be objective, I think it deserves a 2.5 relative to the other courses I've played. Not worth more than a 45 minute drive to play this course alone. But if you plan on playing nearby Vienna or Ottawa Parks, and you like tight, technical courses, you should definitely make it a point to play here.
