Run-of-the-mill nine-hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Every hole has a concrete tee pad.
- There are a few other courses in the area, including one or two more you can use with your $4 state parks pass.
- The holes are very well marked off the tee, and there's no confusion about which basket to target.
- On the holes with trees, they provide for some nice obstacles to make you throw a variety of shots.
- Nice Discatcher baskets, which aren't that common at courses of this size.

Cons:

- Plays around and through a playground and soccer field. Both were empty when I was there, but this course could be a nightmare if the park were busy.
- Not a ton of different lengths; the par-4s weren't anything exciting.
- A few of the holes lack trees or any other obstacles to make your throws too difficult.
- Pay-to-play, which I know some people despise.

Other Thoughts:

This is just your average nine-hole course. The tee boxes and signs are nice, and there a few holes that will test you. But there really isn't any particular draw that could make me recommend this course over Gavins Point down the road -- except for the fact your state parks pass will get you into both.

Nice beginner's course, pretty park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 6, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice baskets, tees, signs. Great old, large trees. Some so big I could not get my arms around the trunk.

Cons:

Every shot is straight. Holes 1 & 2 could throw an anhyzer or hyzer route, but the main route is straight. Holes 3-9, straight is really all there is.

Other Thoughts:

At first play, I was thinking, 'this is a decent little 9-holer'. Then it became very apparent that there isn't much change in shot selection.

18 holes could have *easily* been put in here.

As a cheap skate, I parked at the Aquarium 2 blocks down the road and walked in for free. I don't mind pay to play as long as I know what I'm getting. I'd rather not pay to play a course I've never played before.
