Buhl's Little 9 Holer! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Eastman Park in Buhl is a nice little neighborhood park with the town's swimming pool probably the big attraction here. The small flat park is green with mature trees and has horseshoes pit, a play area and a small picnic shelter.
The baskets are older models. The tee pads are a little different in their elongated design measuring #' x 14'. I had no problem with them. The tee signs are built right into the back of the tee pad but who needs a 14 foot run-up on a 100 foot hole? The signs just have the hole # on them.
I think the course is just a perfect little beginner/Ace run course. Five of the holes are less than 125'. Some do require you to put a little hyzer or annie on your shot. Easy little # 1 has a small tree directly in line with the basket. Simple little throw for any experienced player but a fun little challenge for the newbie. # 7 requires a tunnel shot in order to get under the tree branches.

Cons:

It's very short with four holes about 100 feet and one at 125 feet.
No challenge for experienced players.
Different tee pads.
Tee signs obviously bother some players who have trouble adapting (Only kidding there Andrew Cefire).

Other Thoughts:

Just another great little beginner course that's perfect for chasing Aces. I always appreciate these little beginner courses more than most players. I think they fill a need in our sport by providing a place for beginners and youth to play without having to look for discs in rivers or canyons. If I lived in Buhl, I probably wouldn't be a better player than I am now BUT my career Ace total would be astronomic!
