Great Practice Area

Pros: - There are some tees and baskets strewn about here and there. The park is more or less your standard small park: a patch of woods, some open grassy stretches that look prone to flooding, the surrounding town on the edges. Behind one of the baskets were the remains (pun intended) of some Halloween or haunted trail event. Having to hit 35-footers while an awfully convincing blood-smeared tombstone lurks in my peripheral vision isn't something I recall experiencing before. So there's that.
-But then there's this...

Cons: - This isn't really a course. Sure, there are four baskets (I don't believe we ever did find the fifth). And yes, a few passable gravel tees exist (albeit without any real sort of indication as to where to throw). But in the end, this is not a course.
- No tee signs. No real way to tell even where to begin. To complicate matters, the tees don't start popping up until a little bit farther back, so it's difficult to even know where to park and get out of the car. None of the baskets were numbered either.
- Only two, maybe three, gravel tees.
- No real flow or discernible, sensible layout that could rightfully be called a "course."

Other Thoughts: - I don't mean to put Riverside Park down. Quite the opposite: this is a great practice area, and I'm sure I'd be there weekly if it were the closest place to play. Enough space to practice long distance, mid-range, and putting skills, and some trees to shape lines around as well. Plenty of great safari opportunity exists. As a practice area, Riverside shines; however, it's going to test the patience of anyone expecting to play an actual course.
