fun course, now with a b9! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 9, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course. Front 9 wraps around Riley Rink and does a decent job using the trees in the open and the woods on the ourskirts of the property. Clean, well laid out and good signage. The back 9 is new but coming together nicely, with a couple cool upshots, long bombs and #10 in particular (iirc) had a sweet elevated tee and you just rip out onto a huge field which was fun. I liked the scrub section that loops out by the river too, if a bit squishy. Overall a very friendly course that you can tell is geared towards newer/intermediate users but is still working towards giving a different look than that on the f9.

Cons:

The tees are rubber mats on the ground. Might have been better off just making a flat spot and sinking a frame, they're pretty bumpy and inconsistently laid out. That's honestly my biggest gripe- that and no retrieval stick by the river. I didn't need one but it would be awesome if they're going to leave the basket that close to the water, there were definitely a few fallen soldiers stuck back in the deeper branches.

Other Thoughts:

Fun pedestrian kind of Rec Park course. Great for kids or people newer to the sport but still fun for more skilled players too- awesome place to bring the family. Makes good usage of the surrounding trees and fields, and did a great job with making the back 9 more advanced. If they put in legit tees, I will gladly give Hunter Park a better rating as it would really change the feel of the place. They do have multiple tee sets though, so they're trying and I'd imagine that's coming someday.

A nice little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nicely laid out course that makes the most of the space available. Hole 6 and 7 play through the trees, while the rest are fairly open shots. Hole 9 is a fun down hill throw.

Cons:

The course is adjacent to some amazing forested lands that could make for an amazing course, however that would no doubt come down to who owns the rights. A lot of potential that lies untapped, but a very good start.

Other Thoughts:

I was walking my dog and found this course completely by happenstance. I came back the next morning, bright and early and played three rounds with the whole park to myself. I was uncertain if you had to pay or not to play, but seeing as how I was the only one there...
A fun course to play if you're passing through.
