Nice park with tall pine trees 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 18, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a well maintained city park course with tall pine trees that provide a nice challenge.
The flow is logical here and rounds should play quickly. There is a good mix of short and moderate length holes.
Beginner friendly course.
There are other amenities here like a swimming pool, basketball courts, play ground, etc.
Hole observations:
1- has pine trees to shape lines
2-the basket is up on a mound
3-uses the pines to shape lines
4-is an open hole and you can work it from Right to Left easily here
5-shorter hole with the basket out in the open
6-moderate length and a huge pine tree protects the basket
7-moderate length with the basket protected by a small pine
8-slightly elevated tee with the basket on the other side of the little draw
9-moderate length with the basket being protected

Cons:

The tee pads are incredibly narrow and some players will want to tee of on the grass.
Some holes could be unplayable especially if there were campers using the RV hook ups around holes 3-5.
No numbers on the baskets.
No trash cans or benches, not a huge con but it still adds a nice touch to any course.
The tee signs for 3 and 4 were missing.
The course will hold water after a good rain so be advised.
There is a road on the left hand side of 4's fairway and an errant shot could hit a car so be cautious.
5's tee pad was broken up and cracked.

Other Thoughts:

This is a typical city park 9 hole course in a small town. Its a decent play but there needed to be a bit more variety to the holes here, IMO. This would be a good place to take a new comer to this great sport or a more advanced player could hone in their mid range game here.
Overall its a decent play in a small town. If you are in the area or passing through and want to get out and play then hit this course up.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to follow. Park was well maintained. Good baskets with just the right amount of obstacles.

Cons:

Small tee pads. Not much variety in the 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good place for inexperienced players to have a chance at scoring well. Advanced players could play it as all Par Twos and have a challenge...other than that, it would be too easy for them to enjoy. It hit me about right.
