Cons:
Horrible layout
One of the more dangerous courses I have played
Other Thoughts:
Where do I start. There is no fairway for hole 1. The fairway is the road. There is a very small sliver of grass between the road and tennis course, but unless you have a big arm the shot is to throw across to the island hole that is actually the green for hole 9.
Then you walk BACK to the island green to throw to basket 2. You are throwing over the road again, and over the Armed Forces memorial throwing from the #9 Green, over the #1 green and over #3's fairway/Green. The basket is in a decent spot, but my shot went across a tee pad and this was one of the only birdies I actually got on this course.
Well, I was really confused when I went to what I thought was a short little hole, the tee box my drive for hole two went over was actually the tee box for hole 4. Hole 3 you walk way up over and throw across the road, OVER the armed forces memorial (Again) to a basket that is very close to basket 1. I actually had a putt on this one but missed it.
Hole 4, the first sort of safe hole to throw. This is a gauntlet hole, you have a narrow fairway with trees on the left and the tennis courts on the right. It's a decent size gap that is hittable. This is a longer hole out of my range so played it with an upshot to the gap and then on to the basket for my 3.
Hole 5, literally using the same area as hole 1 for a tee, the basket is way town the road with a parking area, trails and other holes to your right. I turned my drive over pretty hard and had to throw over the playground to get up to the basket for my 3.
I was really confused trying to find hole 6, I had actually thrown my drive on 5 over basket 7 and walked over tee box for hole 8. Hole 6 was down by the lake and was the longest hole on the course. Don't get me wrong, this was actually a good hole, probably the best hole on the course. Did not make it safe by any means. There is a mando to try to keep you out of 7's fairway, or to keep you from throwing an upshot over the pool. But in general, you had the lake on the left the whole way down the 500ft fairway with a grove of tree's around the 350 point and the basket sitting up on a hill with OB sidewalks behind it punishing overthrow. I hit a tree limb on my upshot, overthrew my 2nd upshot and while staying in bounds, missed my comeback putt.
I got nothing to complain about hole 7, it's a decent park setting hole. Might have been a little too close to the pool, but you were throwing away instead of towards it or along the fence line.
Hole 8, all I got to say about this one is they made it a double mando that makes you throw over basket 7. I assume this was because the ideal shot was to throw down the road and try to skip up to the basket. The basket (and fairway) has a sidewalk going down it that is considered OB. Yep, my upshot went over the sidewalk and I literally had a drop in 4 with the penalty stroke.
Hole 9, shorter to the island than hole 1, I can only assume this hole is played as an island hole. However my wife does not have the arm to reach it and there was a guy on the green with headphone on and his metal detector. I tried to get his attention but wound up just throwing to the right hand side of the hole for my birdie.
I just looked and this course has several high ratings on UDisc.. Why? This course was terrible and did not take other park users into consideration.
