Great Driving Practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 25, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

In general , a decently-laid out course that offers plenty of practice for long drives with wide-open fairways. There are a few shorter holes that offer potential birdies, while the second to last hole (#8) is well over 500 ft. away. The t-pads are concrete and there are maps at each t-off. The pads, maps, and baskets are all well-maintained. #5, a somewhat blind shot that goes back towards a little creek and behind a clump of trees, is a good challenge.

Cons:

In high wind this course is virtually unplayable. Obviously, there are only 9 holes. The final hole was poorly designed. Nearly every time I've played, somebody has tossed a disc into the dense hedge or over the fence into a yard full of maintenance equipment.

Other Thoughts:

This course is fun on a calm (or low-wind) day when you want to play a non-technical round and keep a game under an hour. It's a great place to air it out on your drives and test your power. Side note: In the summer, the Purple Martins that live by the course are very entertaining to watch.

Pros:

Legit tee pads/baskets. For a course in a fairly open park, there is a surprising amount of diversity in the 9 holes. There are some shots which require finesse, as well as a good number of wide open shots which test your distance. When the course is dry, especially in the spring, the view is spectacular - long grass outside of the fairways present a look of a well-manicured course, and it really is a pleasure to walk through the nice scenery.

Cons:

Only 9 holes, but you can play it twice if you want to. I played after some heavy rainfall in the area, and a few areas of the course were damp to the point of swampy. I imagine this would not be an issue most of the time, and it just added another challenge.

Other Thoughts:

The course is located in a region of the park which does not see much traffic, so us golfers are out there pretty much alone. It is a nice little course if you are in the area. This course is worth a trip, but don't expect to be wowed with perfectly manicured fairways. But overall, a nice course, especially in late spring and summer when it is dry.
