Pros:
- Plenty of parking at both 9's
- bathrooms were nice and right by first hole
- super well groomed course, grass was green and perfectly cut, park is very picturesque
- baskets caught easily, brand new ones on the back 9. No spit outs or rust or anything unsavory.
- Nice to have a couple par 4's mixed in there
- fun top of the world shot on #6 with lots of danger on the right
- back 9 was great tight woods golf, only a couple of 300+ holes and the rest were short and technical. Rarely an obvious line to park it but a straightforward line to get to c2. Great risk /reward. Good rough to punish bad shots.
- front 9 And back 9 plus hole 8 were totally different vibes and played like 2 different courses.
- #7 was my favorite hole, blind tee shot over a swamp to a tight guarded green
- didn't lose any discs despite the woods surrounding most holes
- great difficulty, some challenges for players of all skill and some short enough holes that a true beginner could park with a lucky shot.
- super short walks and fairly intuitive layout on the back 9 make for easy navigation
Cons:
- #4 is a hazard for cars and walkers, plays right down the busiest walking path in the park. It's an awesome hole though.
- #1 is the only true gimme birdie on the course, no obstacles whatsoever and a straight 200 ft shot.
- Walk between #7 and #8 along with #9 to #10 is crazy long, both 1000+ ft.
- back 9 is not groomed at all, super tall grass and really thick rough.
- lots of walkers and park goers on front 9, didn't see any on back 9 thank God but the holes are so packed in that pretty much anyone being there would be dangerous.
- barbed wire fences, thick rough and park boundaries make for high disc losing potential on the back 9.
- #1, #2, #3, #5, and #9 are all kind of duds. Just wide open holes that are straight at the basket with minimal obstacles.
- I saw between 2 and 4 tee signs on this 18 hole course. Without the udisc map there is no possible way to navigate it.
Other Thoughts:
There's a lot of good and bad here but overall had a blast playing this short course with no OB's or Mandies. Very scorable for a player with consistency and a decent arm. Easy to park and play but probably don't go at a peak time when non golfers are in the park. I went on a Sunday morning and all the sprinklers we're going which was a bummer. Loved the woods holes though and I think with a more creative front 9 and tee signs this could be a 3.5 or. 4.
