Pretty fly for a 9-hole

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 5, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Bright yellow poles hold up the tee signs. Easy to find from the previous basket. Said tee signs are as informative as can be for not having a map on them.

The white baskets stand out well against the hills.

The challenges are varied. Uphill on 1, having the basket on the brink of a steep drop off on 3, hole 5 has the danger of a creek on the forehand line, nice tree challenge on 6 and 7, and 9 finishes it off with an obstructed downhill bomber. It's a nice mix.

Cons:

Obviously, it's split between two parks, however this isn't as big of an issue as it would seem since the drive is only 3 minutes long.

Throwing over the basketball court on 4 is tough for weaker arms, but that can be avoided by going around either side of it.

Holes 4 and 9 are listed as par 4s... they aren't. Hole 2 is a good true par 4 though.

Dirt tees, which turn into mud tees with rain.

Other Thoughts:

This is a solid 9 hole course. The mix of unique holes is really nice, and apart from hole 8, there's some sort of obstacle that can mess up your par run. There are drawbacks of course, but Minorwood is definitely worth being on your rotation or adding onto a trip!
