A Place to Learn

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 27, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ a decent length nine around a private school's athletic fields. At 2000+ feet and mostly wide open, there's good opportunity for high schoolers to learn the game from tee to approach and putting



Cons:

- Paper signage and the teepads are just pavers laid on the ground. Many have suffered from frost heave so they've become uneven to the point of unuseable


- Mostly decent (if wide open) holes, but there are a few questionable ones. Hole #7 is uphill with a hard right dogleg marked by a mando tee only about 75' off the tee - so the majority of the length is after a right angle turn. Feels like the mando is just there for the sake of having it.


- Campus buildings come into play: Hole #8's basket is directly across the entrance to a building. The whole length of #9 plays alongside the metal-walled rink building (take a minute to see Tolbert's picture of #9 in the Media section). It's the logical way to make the nine a loop, but the building and downspouts are already pock-marked with disc hits


Other Thoughts:

~ No play during school hours, but plenty of parking at the school rink building

~ Low-lying and likely very wet after a rain
