Pros:
Neighborhood park with baskets in various spots / difficult to navigate / couldn't find basket #9
+ One or two really nice basket placements that incorporate the trees in the park (I liked the setting for #6 so much I took a picture)
+ Not a "course" as much as it is a practice spot: you could bring newbies here to give them a sense of throwing distances at baskets / upshots / putting
Cons:
- No tees, no signs, no map
- Much of the course is low, and can be really muddy
- With no map and no tee signs, it took me a while to figure out the layout. I threw at some wrong baskets, wandered around alot, and eventually figured most of it out
- I never found the small concrete tee pads mentioned in another review, so I just threw from near the preceding basket
- I never found basket #9 (but I didn't look all that hard, as I had driven two hours to play the two 18's in the Vineland area)
Other Thoughts:
~ I carry a rangefinder that I hardly ever need - except on courses like this. This area is so wide open that it's difficult to judge distances (plus, there's no map, no recorded lengths or teepads). I found myself wandering out to a basket to confirm it's number, then walking back to the preceding basket, and using the scope to figure out what I was dealing with. So, at least I got in a lot of walking and rangefinder use!
~ Wide open and good for practice if the course is dry. If I lived in the area, I'd bring out a bag of discs and use the Shire for practicing shots of various lengths, for trying out new discs, for introducing new players to the idea of playing a course
~ So it's "poor" as a course, but "good" as a practice area. I split the difference and rated it a 1.5
