Reviewed: Played on:Oct 13, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

* Good use of elevation.
* Many "ace run" holes.
* Layout is logical with baskets and tees close together.
* Parks and Recreation Department does a good job of maintaining the course.

Cons:

* Course is short, designer maximized space but still no long holes.
* Course is relatively easy, no real rough, can almost always recover from bad drives to get par.

Other Thoughts:

Fun short course, not much challenge though. Some holes are marked as par 4's but should be 3's. Overall good course, definitely worth playing.

Fun little course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 21, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

• Its a nice short 18 hole course located in downtown Martinsville.
• Was a fun course to play while me and my dad were down for vacation.
• A lot of chances for ace runs.

Cons:

• Unfortunately the course is located/wrapped around a skateboarding park, which was loaded with kids. So it was quite difficult to concentrate when needed.
• It seems the creator of the course had limited space and had to compact the course to get the full 18 in.
• Would have been nicer if the course was slightly longer.
• A few of the holes play over a road that leads into park and other holes played back towards the basketball court/parked cars. Was tons of people there so it made those shots dangerous.

Other Thoughts:

•All in all it was a fun course to play and next year when we are down we will probably play it again.
• Its short enough to get in multiple rounds in one day/a few hours
