Pisa

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 27, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some challenging throws.
Some birdy opportunities.

Cons:

No official tees.
Most baskets in low-lying areas.
Flows back onto itself, so if multiple groups (very unlikely) playing, could be an issue.
One basket on a tilt similar to Pisa.

Other Thoughts:

Course is set along the back and right side of an education's area campus. Head to the farthest right then back parking lot to find a reasonable choice for tee#1. Number-1 plays along the rightside, number-2 along the back woodline, numbers 3&4 in-to&out-from a cutout. To the midpoint of the parking lot for tee=5 (and tee=8), and kinda random spots for short tosses to 6&7. The edge of the basketball court seems a good tee=9. (No official tee locations, but there is one layout on Udisc.)

Six baskets for nine holes, with 1/9, 4/8, and 5/7 sharing. Baskets 2 and 4/8 are within circle=1 of each other, and baskets 5/7 and 6 within circle=2, so they seem unnecessarily jammed together.

There are / can be some challenging throws. Number=1 is a 275' tunnel shot, against a left-to-right slope. Number=2 is a sweeping right-turner. Number=3 is a tunnelish left-turner, while number=4 has a sharp right at the end. Numbers5-7 all are short, open shots to baskets on a berm, near a retention basin and an awkward-to-cross culvert. Numbers 8 (assuming there are no cars parked in the way) and number=9 will offer chances to throw long.

While having some baskets at which to throw is always a good opportunity to have, the layout and flow leave much to be desired.
