Taconic State Park Rudd Pond reviews

Pros:
`
A very good park nine with large and level timber-lined paver tees, excellent signage and yellow band DisCatchers. Intuitive navigation. Quick play, good for beginners.
The layout is an out and back with the park road running down the middle. It's OB and creates some challenge for RHBH that fade too much. Since it's on the left side in both directions, any skips or ground action will add risk.
Most holes are open, but two of them (#1 and #3) have been cut out of deep woods and have reasonably narrow fairways. Half of the holes include some amount of elevation change, and there's likely wind consideration because of the nearby pond (which is more like the size of a lake).

Cons:
`
- Experienced players will find little of interest other than a quick bagging stop, although several of the open holes are laid out with trees preventing an easy high hyzer.

Other Thoughts:
`
~ After a short first hole, the par 3's are in the 250' - 300' range, and the two par 4's are 451' and 618'
~ Rudd Pond is located only minutes away from Wilcox Memorial, the 27 holer that has deservedly found a place on the uDisc Top 100 Courses in the World
