A Morning Walkers Delight! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a smaller city park with one ball field, a soccer field, playground and a very popular walking path. Remember that walking path! The course plays around the park in a counterclockwise direction. The tee pads are a combination of solid natural ones and markings on the sidewalks. There is a course rules sign. The tee signs give you the hole #, distance, par and a simple map. The baskets are Discatchers with the yellow band but happen to be single chain.
The course plays somewhere between a pitch and putt and an easy recreational level.
I liked # 4. It's just 209' but the basket is placed behind four large Weeping Willow trees. I found the best route was to throw a roller and split the second and third trees. There are plenty of ACE ops here.

Cons:

Someone bent the # 8 basket. This could only have been done by someone fairly large jumping up and down from atop the basket.

Two tee pad markings on the sidewalk have been painted over.

At 7:45 this morning, there was a steady stream of walkers. I had to wait several times for them to walk clear. But it wasn't a problem.

Pitch and Putt/Easy recreational level course.

Other Thoughts:

Give the walkers a break and always let them get clearly out of harm's way before throwing. I had fun here at just another example of a Chicago 9'ers.
