Pros: Neat little 9-er that makes GREAT use of the space available.
It's not a large park, but the holes were laid out well to make good use of the elevation and obstacles present.
Layout made a good balance of lefty/righty shots, and the couple of fast greens added challenge to and otherwise uninteresting course.
Plenty of parking and bathrooms are always a plus.
4x4s for tee signs with distances painted on them didn't give you any direction to throw, but the holes are short enough and open enough that it didn't really matter; all holes were visible from the tee (except for 8) if not a few steps out.

Cons: Single chain baskets, natural pads, un-descriptive (though adequate) teesigns, and an overall lack of length make this a good novice course, but nothing more.
The easy shot for 6 is a big hyzer that plays right over/through a swingset; not the greatest design strategy IMO...
The complication of avoiding christmas decorations/electrical wires that were seemingly laid on top of the teepads with no regard to the golf patrons seems a bit careless, if not reckless. (Should unruly golfers decide to *remove* obstacles in their way, there's nothing to stop them)

Other Thoughts: Natural pads, single chain baskets, and no real big or tricky holes makes this a good course to travel to to round out a day at Centralia (especially if you're a St. Louis-er heading back west), but certainly not a destination in and of itself.
Watch out for vehicle traffic on 8 (or other park patrons coming in and out of the john), christmas decorations at the appropriate times, and little ones/pedestrians frolicking through those obstacles/on the pedestrian paths that criss-cross the course.
I'd like to get back here in the summer time to see how it plays without all of the christmas obstructions.

Report this Review Good use of small city park 
Pros: Great use of the available land, all couple acres of it. Features rolling hills, plenty of trees and a creek (dry at the time I was there). Well marked. Several holes more of the type you'd fins on a 'real' course.
Cons: Dirt tee pads. Have to use caution around kids playing in park. Baskets are homemade and don't catch anything.
