A row of 50s houses and a rail yard frame this small neighborhood park in an industrial city. The course is lighter, quicker, cheaper with handmade signs and consumer grade baskets fixed to the ground by stakes. I applaud those that got this course in the ground and it is well played by members of the surrounding community.

9 holes cross the park with the majority focused in unprogrammed areas away from newer play equipment. The layout is safe, uses available landscape and manmade features, and has some variety. Expect a simple par 3 with at least some trees, shrubs, and/or brush to shape fairways. The park includes a pavilion with a restroom and drinking fountain.

The park's landscape and manmade features are limiting. Within those limits there could be improvements to hole length and shape on multiple holes. Use of a backstop could be improved to reduce fairness issues. Some will dislike fairways that cross old pavement. No hole is very memorable.

Consumer grade baskets are just ok. The stake set up interferes with the chains. However, I don't necessarily think this course is ready for permanent baskets.

Creativity of signage was not a consideration for this course. The orange painted plywood squares on stakes note the hole numbers with address stickers. They serve their main purpose. Perhaps these signs reflect the relative bleakness of the surrounding industrial landscape, purposefully or not.

Remnants of yesterday's park features remain: overgrown baseball backstops, almost disappeared parking lots, crumbling tennis courts without nets. This course brings new use to those areas. This is a hack, an incremental improvement, a new amenity suited for the lifestyle of the surrounding community. This course probably cost $1,500 to install. It serves as one of many examples of inexpensive course design suited for small parks everywhere. I've played many rounds here and will play many more.
