Baskets around the perimeter of an open park. Meh.

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Simple 9 on mostly open grounds around a large church/community center. Some decent length holes and no obstacles, so air it out with little risk

+ Number 5 is a hard dogleg right (that is, there's a grove of tall trees to the right that the basket is behind). The distance and height of the trees makes an over-the-top shot pretty unlikely. There's a drainage ditch all the way up the right side of the fairway, so there's a reward for throwing a very straight shot to the corner, because RHBH hyzer just makes the hole longer (I realize I'm going on at length about a very simple hole - but it's the only tee shot I remember having to think about)


Cons:

- Other than mowing, the course does not appear to get much care. Hole #1, the route to the basket is now obscured by construction material (large concrete forms and sewer pipes) that have been dumped there sometime since the photos were taken in 2018


- The first four holes cross a walking trail, and hole #8 crosses over the main driveway


- Although the tees are poured concrete, the tee for #4 is on a slanted embankment, so your run-up is uphill. Simply placing the tee 15' - 20' back would have put it on level ground


Other Thoughts:

~ Nothing really wrong, but nothing really good either


~ Bagging stop with no reason to return, except maybe field work with baskets, or a quick 9 before or after church?
