A Mess in the Middle

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 27, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Big parking lot; follow the walking trail across a footbridge and up to the first tee. The first and second holes are a bit close to a picnic pavilion, and several other holes intersect with walking trails or playing fields. Combination of open and lightly wooded holes, try to visit when others aren't going to be using the park


+ Mostly unremarkable, but two holes rise above the mean: #2 is a downhill across an open field and into a narrow wooded gap, then left dogleg. At around 350' the par or 4 is generous - it's a really good par 3 hole requiring a controlled teeshot through the gap and fading late. Hole #8 is an uphill dogleg right, with a teeshot having to make it through one of several narrow gaps up on a ridge before the dogleg. Close to 400', it's another generous par 4 that makes for a really challenging par 3.


Cons:

- The middle holes vary from dull, to dangerous, to outright stupid. #5 and #6 play back and forth across an open field. Anyone teeing on 6 will be throwing at a basket directly between the tees for 5 and 7. They're placed so closely together that the two tees might be inside Circle 1. And then the hole design for #7 is back out into the same field, but this time it's a horseshoe around woods on the left back to a basket - that might be all of 60' directly to the left of the tee



Other Thoughts:

~ Very simple signs that do the job, with hole number, par, length, and a simple map. Basic rubber tees and DisCatchers


~ Long walk through the woods back to the parking lot. You follow one of the hiking trails, and probably wish they had used some of these woods for the layout


~ Pleasant enough for a park 9, though you really have to watch out of other park users - and need to grin and bear it when playing the U-turn hole

Decent Course in a Park Setting 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Rubber Tee Pads
-Good Signage
-Baskets OK
-Mix of open/wooded, long/short
-Multi-use park, stays away from most other activities (see below)

Cons:

-Strange Layout (See Below)
-Walking Path in play on #2, #5, #6, #7, #8
-#7 is 180 degree turn, full U shaped hole
-Long, confusing path back from #9
-Walk from the parking lot to tee 1 and from #9 basket
-No benches / Trashcans

Other Thoughts:

Lisbon Meadows DGC plays in a large park of Lisbon Meadows just north of Lisbon, CT. There is a walk-in from the parking area to all activities. The first 3 holes play in the first open space, #4 plays in the second open space, but away from the soccer field. #5, 6 and 7, play in the third open area with 7 being a U shaped full 180, with severe left turn needed. #8 and 9 play though the trees, but 9 ends in the middle of the trees. There is a long and confusing path, most of it on the walking path back. The map and notes said it comes back to Tee #4, I ended up back at #1 and near the exit path. There is plenty of room to make this a 12 or even 18 hole course, seems unfinished. The signage is good until the end of the course when there is lone sign for the exit, then nothing. There is also a lot of times that the walking path comes into play. The course needs a redesign, some benches and trashcans, a better route after finish. My round here was OK, but way away from home, so unlikely to be back. But the play is OK, if you need a round to play in the area.

Not bad for a beginner course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. Some easy pitch and putt holes for putter practice.2. Nice open soccer field near hole 4 for practice throws.

Cons:

My biggest concern with this course is hole 4. It plays as a RHFH and the basket straddles the edge of the woods. If you happen to go in to those woods, WATCH YOUR FEET. About a foot or two in to the greenery THERE'S A SINGLE BARBED WIRE LINE. I almost gashed my leg on that damn thing. I don't even know why it's there. It's hard to see because it's in the bushes and low to the ground. BE CAREFUL. Other than that, some holes make no sense. Hole two is a sub 250 ft. par 4. There's a massive bush blocking the only line in to the fairway. Hole 7 plays as some weird U shot with a basket that's basically as far back around a wooded mando as the tee pad. Even with a huge hyzer it was difficult to get close. Maybe it's just me.
