Baskets in a field 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 31, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Large sprawling park with soccer, baseball, and softball. Some playground equipment and a shelter also.
- Well-manicured park.
- Easy access from interstate

Cons:

- Starting point is not particularly clear. Start on the east side of the park by the soccer fields. Holes 5-9 end on the west side of the creek by the ball fields.
- Walk from hole 9 back to your car is a half mile.
- Grass tees, some signage.
- Could not find a tee for #7. I assume it was removed for the new parking lot.
- No obstacles, aside from a few holes running along the side of the tall grass and some timber.

Other Thoughts:

- I'll talk about the homemade baskets here. They're unique, that's for sure. They do their job, although the small chain area puts a premium on putting accuracy. Strong putts are likely to impact the pole and bounce out.
- There is PLENTY of space along the creek that cuts through this park, along with in the timber, to put 5 or 6 holes. There is unused land and space for a very nice 9 hole course. Just wasn't used. I think this made me more disappointed than anything else. The layout is fine if that's all you have to work with, but there was plenty to work with that just wasn't.
- Didn't really enjoy my time here.

Beginner 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Course is set in a small city park, which is also home to some softball and soccer fields, as well as a walking path. Definitely potential for interference if any of these are in use.
- Almost every hole is open to a RHBH hyzer; one hole has forest on the right, but isn't really in the way. A few of these need the hyzer to go around the woods, so that is kind of interesting.
- A little creek is by a couple baskets, if the drive is too long.
- Decent variety of hole lengths.

Cons:

- Almost every hole is open to a RHBH hyzer. Doesn't really need anything else.
- Layout is harsh, the distance between tee #1 and basket #9 is about a half a mile. A long walk no matter what.

Other Thoughts:

- This is a decent course to practice some things, including distance driving, or freestyle open field line shaping. Homemade baskets aren't too bad, just have a small target area. Definitely a course for beginners or just practice.
