I-57/ I-70 pit stop 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 18, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course plays around a small community park and through the backside of a middle school. Each hole has a nice big and level concrete tee pad with a post designating the hole number. Each Bastet is in good condition and have the hole number on top. Baskets can all be seen from the tee, but there is usually a small tree or two in play which forces you to throw a certain flight path. In general all the holes will be ace-able for experienced players, and they will likely be disappointed with anything more than a 2 on every hole. However, given the location of the course I'd say this fits perfectly into the intended demographic of players (perfect place for kids and newbies to practice and get introduced to the game). Great course to come play a single-disc round and/or ace chase.

Cons:

Some of the holes play over a low lying field that certainly floods and does not drain well.

Other Thoughts:

Around the perimeter of the park there are wooded areas that seem perfect to add a couple wooded, technical holes. Perhaps this land doesn't belong to the parks, but if it does seems like a definite missed opportunity to add some more interesting holes. All-in-all I think the course completes its objectives of catering to kids and newer recreational players. I will probably stop again if I need a quick stretch driving by on one of the passing interstates!

City Park that performs as it should 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 4, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads and tee markers, with multiple bag hangers. Distances are written on the tee hangers. Nice quiet park near a Junior High, most of the holes are away from the walking path and areas I would suspect would be higher traffic in the summer. Has a nice map (with a satellite view) near hole one with the basic rules of the game.

Trees are maturing in some areas that will improve the challenge, but at the end of the day, a course that strives to be a nice recreation nine-hole and succeeds.

Cons:

Holes 4 and 5 play over a marsh/leach that was very soggy when I played and would suspect is generally wet to damp.

The baskets are all numbered with metal plates featuring cut out numbers, so hole two and five are tricky to determine from a distance (as they look alike from the reverse).

Other Thoughts:

Hole seven makes for a good signature hole, with a few attack angles. New players will enjoy the course and the legitimate chance to strike a birdie. Players with a lot of experience (and the arms to match) will see some definite ace potential here.

The longest hole is 315' and the shortest is 185' which is respectable for a park course. All in all, the city did a great job building a course that fit their park and shouldn't be intrusive to the rest of the park's users.

It's not the type of course you should go out of your way to see, but if you live nearby you have a great place to hone your skills. It's only about a ten minute drive from the eighteen hole course in Effingham and would make a great place to warm up or cool down in an afternoon of games.
