Pleasant surprise

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 7, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice tee signs
Cement tee pads
DD Vet baskets at the VFW
Elevation and large (may I say Mighty) Oak trees

Cons:

Some of the holes are short.
Back track to tee on hole 8

Other Thoughts:

For a small town, this is an excellent little course that appears to be getting some play.

It's not a "park" so you don't have to deal with other park users. At times there may be a VFW event, but I doubt that comes up often.

The course starts with a long open hole down the hill with creek full of water behind the basket. This is really the only hole it might come into play on if you overthrow the basket.

Hole 2 throws along the edge of the rough with a few large trees to navigate, then you have several holes using the elevation and tree lines. These are the shorter, more technical holes. But they are fun.

Hole 7 has 2 tee pads for some reason. 7a is a mostly straight shot though a grove of trees. 7b is a longer shot that is a little more open with a slight turnover shot for a right handed player. This basket is also interesting in that it is installed on an old table. Not sure what that was all about, interesting to say the least.

Then you finish up with hole 8 that has the risk of a turnover shot going down the hill or OB area around the VFW buildings.

Hole 9 plays tough for me, mostly uphill with the VFW on the left and a guardian bush in front of the basket. BTW, there are thorns in those bushes, trust me.

Would I play here again? Yes, this is one of the few little 9 hole courses that I would enjoy playing again sometime. it's not too long nor too short but has some interesting shots. I rate it about a 3.75 so I rounded it up to 4 because it is a decent little 9 hole course.
