Good quick play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 4, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

They really did the most they could with the space, I have played it twice in the last couple of weeks and it was exactly what I was looking for.
- All tee pads (two per hole) are rubber and have been in good condition (it seems they have been updated in the last year or so since other reviews)
- Flat, easy to walk terrain.
- Good baskets with multiple pin locations
- Variety of approaches, at least considering the environment
- Not crowded...easy to play
- Wood posts easily identifying each tee pad. Some have hooks to hang your bag
- Easy to find the next hole

Cons:

- Very simple course, more in the beginner to intermediate range
- Not a whole lot of variance (as compared to say Morley Field or Bengle Terrace) in terrain, but like I said, they make the best of it
- Short holes, especially the short pins

Other Thoughts:

My cons above are purely subjective...the course does not try to be anything that it is not. Play it for what it is: a quick and easy 9 hole-er, turn it into 18 by playing the short tee for the first 9 and the long tee for the back 9.

There is birdie opportunity on every hole, even if you don't have a big arm. Make sure your tee shot counts!

Great addition to SD courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 1, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

No crowds. I've played this course twice, both times on a Sunday. Both times I had the place to myself. My home course is Morley Field, probably the world's most crowded course so this was a nice change.

Great for beginners and kids. I've had my 4 year old with me both times and he was able to walk it and play with minimal complaining.

Nice flow, easy to navigate

Cons:

Most tees are just boxed sand and kind of rutted. A few of the long tees have rubber pads. It's a new course so I'm sure we'll see some improvement.

A little on the easy side. I don't know if that's necessarily a con. It's a short course and pretty open.

Distance and basket placement signs at the tees would be a nice addition

Other Thoughts:

I've been having a lot of fun on this course. No crowds, relatively close to home and it's good for the kids too.


Update: I've been playing here almost every weekend and the word has gotten out a little more on this course. Lots more people out here these days but still moves quickly. Tee boxes could really use some help. Most are rutted up so bad that it's better to throw from the side of the tee box, although that's getting pretty rutted up too. With the growing popularity of the course let's hope we get concrete tee pads soon.

Update: Rubber Pads on all tees now.

Solid Par 3 Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 3, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

For what it is, this is a great little course. It's placed in the back, unused portion of a park which, for me, was a definite pro for this setting. There were only a few holes where you had to worry about kids on bikes or people walking through.

For the area that they had to use, it's set up really well. There's no room really for massive distance shots but the pins are all placed in areas that require a little thought about approach and disc choice.

The A and B tee pad locations were placed well. We looped through the 9 hole course twice, playing both pads in the process. The alternate pads are all placed in areas where it changes the shot.

The course is mostly flat with sporadic trees for shade. I list this as a pro for this type of course because I don't see it as a "big play" experience but more "pleasant play." You're there to have fun and enjoy yourself, not physically condition your body for your next tournament.

Cons:

The tee pads really need some work. Currently they are boxed with packed sand. A few of the boxes had rubber mats over them (which was way better), but not the majority. The packed sand in the boxes has been kicked and worn down from use to the point that the official tee area is really uneven. Most of the time I found myself taking my drive next to the tee box in order to get better footing.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a fantastic short course! It's challenging enough to make a more experienced player think a little in order to get that "bird shot" and approachable enough that it would be a good place to take new players.

There are no maps anywhere but the flow of the course is intuitive.

If they could just get the tee pad situation figured out at this course it would be perfect.
