Does anyone have information on White House dgc in Nashville? By looking around on the Nashville fb page it appears to be playable, however no pads/signs. Can anyone confirm this? Also, any info on open/wooded, is it a longer/shorter course, how difficult, easy to get around?
I played it today and I can now confirm the info. It's in the very back of the park, and there's a practice basket by the parking lot on the left.
The baskets are green powder coated Prodigy, which I'm conflicted about, b/c they were tough to see in the woods, but so can unpainted baskets, and it might be advantageous in the fall and winter.
The first hole is across the road, and is the only hole other than #18 that isn't in the woods. #18 is at the bottom of the hill by the parking lot.
Maybe 12 holes had carpet and the rest were just dirt. The first few holes have carpet and then one of the holes (#6 I think) doesn't, which can make it easy to miss the "teepad." Signage was white painted plywood with just the hole #s. A couple had distances. There were also plywood signs pointing to the next holes and pretty clearly defined pathways which made navigation fairly easy.
Even in its rustic, unmainicured state, this course was a lot of fun, with challenging but fair lines. There was poison ivy everywhere, and getting off the fairway can get get hairy, so I was a bit upset with myself for wairing ankle socks.
It reminded me a bit of Preston Miller, but longer and not as tight, both in proximity to one another and the size of the tunnels and fairways. I actually liked it a lot more than Preston Miller. It's just the only course I've played that came to mind. Maybe a few Smyrna-ish holes.
White House is already top 5 in the area IMO, so as it improves, it will only move up the list. I'd rank it over Barfield, Saunders, Naval Hill and Crockett.
