Putting Practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 26, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Colored baskets are a nice touch and easy to navigate.
- Nice big trees. They could be used better, though.
- Mowed grass.
- Signage is pretty good. Easy to understand.
- It can be kinda fun when nearly every hole is an ace run.
- Can't imagine it would ever be crowded.
- Regular park amenities.

Cons:

- The pars are ridiculous. There are a few par 4's, par 5, and a par 2. A par 5 shouldn't be possible to ace - it's only 320 ft and ONE tree in the way. And a par 2 is dumb, especially when there is an easier par 3 right before it.
- No tee pads. Running up on grass isn't bad though.
- No risk vs reward shots. Mandatories would help. (There might have been some in the past, but there are no signs.)
- Few obstacles. Every shot is dead straight or easily hyzered. (Mando's?)
- Very short. They did make pretty good use of the limited space they had available, but jump putting off the tee shouldn't be a thing.
- Crowded fairways and holes again due to limited space.

Other Thoughts:

It's a decent course for what it is. You can't be too critical of the only course for literally miles around. Ignore the signs and play it as a par 3. Perfect for introducing new people to the sport. The whole thing can be played with a putter.

Backyard Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 2, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nicely cut grass and 9 holes of golf to play.

Great signage and easy to navigate!

Nice single chain discatchers painted different colors to help navigation.

Cons:

Layout - The whole course would fit on a football field if you overlaid it. The park is small and the holes are fun for easy birdies and ace runs but they are bunched too closely together. It probably doesn't matter since you likely won't encounter other groups there, but inside a space of about 75 feet were 3 baskets and 2 tees.

Grass tees - not so bad considering you're often not throwing much over 100 feet.

Other Thoughts:

It literally feels like you have set up some baskets in the yard and are playing around just for fun.

There was deer poop everywhere on the course but I was lucky enough not to land in any. Didn't see any deer.

I only drove to play this course to check Wyoming off the list and there just wouldn't be a reason to come back.
