Union City Park

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 4, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Land is well used. Trees are in play on most holes. You've got tricky lines with lots of trees (5, 6, 8, 9), and holes that require low throws (3). Elevation is in play on more than half of the holes. Four, seven and nine are the best examples. Baskets on sloping ground (2, 3, 4) making missed putts rolling away a real possibility. There are no water carries, but it's in play with the creek/ditch on three holes.
-- Best holes are 4, 7 and 9. Four is about 160-170 feet seriously uphill. It's open for the first 150 feet. You've got a large bush just right of the basket and trees left. Miss your line just a little bit, and you're going to have to scramble. Seven is about 230 feet seriously downhill. You can barely see the top of the basket standing on the tee. You can go straight at the basket, and you've got thick bushes right as you approach the basket and trees left. Nine is about 270 feet downhill through myriad trees. A creek/ditch is short/left of the basket.
-- Doesn't favor one throwing style.

Cons:

-- No map on site.
-- No water.
-- No restrooms.
-- Multi-use park with ballfields and walking path. On the day we played, a pop-up camper was parked a few feet from the No. 11 tee.
-- Natural tee pads aren't great. They are already worn. Some have tree roots, and they are all slick/muddy after a rain. Blue Innova markers in ground designate the front of tee boxes, although some are covered by dirt/grass or broken.

Other Thoughts:

-- Short course. Nine of 11 holes are shorter than 300 feet, and three are shorter than 200 feet. This is a fun course, but big-armed players aren't likely to enjoy it.
-- Eleven is a somewhat boring finishing hole. It's a little bit short of 300 feet and almost wide open. There are two big trees right (and the creek/ditch right of those), but it takes a poor throw to bring either into play.

Typical 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 16, 2022 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice baskets. Good use of elevation. Good mix of left and right turns. Several holes have options on which line to take. Easy navigation. Variety of open and more wooded. Small creek in play on a couple of holes

Cons:

No tee pads. We played the day after a rain. Course holds water in places. Multi-use be careful of non dg users. Restrooms on site were locked

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun little course in downtown union. Course is generally short and beginner friendly with lots of birdie chances for experienced players. There are some longer more challenging holes. When we played there was not a lot of non dg traffic but at busier times it could be an issue. The parking lot for the park is actually located between number 4 and 5. You have to walk over a bridge and past a ball field to get to number 1 tee. Some people park on the grass near number 1. I also Saw some people start on number 5 and finish on 4. Hole 11 finishes near the parking lot. There is a wards fast food directly across the street from the course.I will definitely play there again.
