Good course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 3, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Easily navigated. Concrete T-Pads. Mixed fairways (mulch, rocks, dirt, grass). Nice Baskets with visible yellow rims. Fun changes in elevation. Short, technical holes. Isolated, with few others that use the area for other purposes.

Cons:

Lots of ice in winter. Very slippery on the hills. New construction nearby has caused some washout on hole #2.

Other Thoughts:

This was a great, quick course that was easily run through twice. Locals are very friendly and open to having singles jump-in.

Pros:

DISC GOLF PARKING ONLY signs - NICE!!!
Great use of a fairly tight space
Like the layout and variety of shots and a few ACE runs thrown in.
Tee Boxes are good size and level
Nice baskets and very visible
Wood chips all down the fairway will inhibit weeds but miss the fairway and the roughs get rough.

Cons:

Only 9 holes but it will be difficult to get many more.

Other Thoughts:

They will not be able to get 18 holes into the piece of land but a few more can be added to bring the pond into play.

Pros:

This an example of efficient use of a small piece of property. Most of the holes work through tight, technical lines, while still remaining beginner friendly because of the length. Only one hole is greater than 300' which is ideal considering the intent of the course was to introduce new players to the game. The fairways are fair, and considering there are only 9 holes, there is a good mix of straight, hyzer, and anhyzer lines to hit. Quality tee signs is always a plus, and this course has them.

Cons:

At the time I had played, there hadn't been much foot traffic, which can be bad in terms of undergrowth and saplings popping up. I can imagine that with summer on the way, there could be some poison ivy to battle in some spots. Hopefully locals will give the course love and help with upkeep. I'm unfamiliar with the transition from designer/builder to local community upkeep in a situation like this, where a not-so-local designer installs a course. Hopefully it will be smooth!

Other Thoughts:

If you're a seasoned player, and you're looking to open up on a couple of holes, this isn't the course to do it. However, if you're looking for a quick evening round, and you're local to the Peabody/Salem/Danvers area, this is a good spot to get in a quick 9. It would be nice to see another 9 added in the future (if space allows?)
