Pros:
-all 9 baskets are in good condition
-the natural pads are no longer the wood chip filled wooden frames you see in the pictures, thank goodness
-course map at the kiosk near hole 1
-decent for beginners, mostly
Cons:
-poor signage
-even with the map, navigation is a little tricky
-holes 6 & 7 are interesting, i guess, but not good, especially for a beginner course
-not much in the way of fun and/or interesting golf shots
Other Thoughts:
This little 9 holer is the original course at Choctaw Creek Park but it now serves are the beginner/warmup course since the 18 hole layout was installed to the south. There is not much to say.
The holes are mostly short and straight forward. Then you get to hole 6 and wonder for whom this course is supposed to be designed. It's a laughably tight window over a small creek that is shallow but poorly accessed. The following hole is also ridiculously tight with an unnatural flight line.
You can use this course as a warm up to the 18 next door or as an introduction to the game for kids or beginners. Anyone with experience will be bored here. They'll probably play it once and then only play the 18 after that. Most of the holes have some kind of window right at the tee and one tree to beat in the fairway.
If this course were alone in this park, I would never be back again. With 18 holes in the same park, I might play through the 9 again but it would be a rare occasion. I have to scoff at the current course rating.
