Other Thoughts:
Congratulations Crestview! The View is a short pitch and putt course located within a beautiful neighborhood park with tons of potential. The landscape features moderate changes in elevation and forgiving gameplay that beginners and intermediates will greatly enjoy. The fairways are mostly open with a few trees that help shape lines to the basket.
Fun aside, I wouldn't say the course is overly demanding at this point. It felt like these 9 holes were shoehorned into this section of property, which is concerning. As is, I think it will be difficult to add multiple tees and pins without overlapping other existing fairways or tee boxes. Additionally there are a few other issues that may provide challenges moving forward. The landscape is a soft mixture of sand / soil, which may not hold up to even light foot traffic and water runoff. A few holes could see some flooding.
The good news is, this course is very much still in its infancy. I fully expect many of the minor issues to be ironed out, eventually, as the development progresses. Keep in mind, there are another nine holes that are being chiseled out of the woods as I type. Hopefully they'll provide some of the technical elements that the front are missing. Either way, I foresee this course being as widely popular as the Ferry Park or Disco Funk because of its overall approachability. Ace runs, you got it!
