Find the good 9 among these 18...

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 28, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ A short 18 in a hillside municipal park; does its best to incorporate woods around the edges, but the designers might have been better designing 9 decent holes instead of jamming in some junky ones to make it an 18

+ Good use of elevation on some holes. Best example is #11: a gradual downhill with the basket placed under a large tree. Pretty hole.


Cons:

- I played on a mild winter day with some recent snowmelt, but I think under any circumstances the course can be very wet, especially the lower back 9


- Tight (untended) fairways. You're going to be stomping around in the weeds a lot


- Hole #1 is across a playing field. Nice uphill, wide open first hole, but you might not be able to play it when the park is otherwise in use


- So many "stuck in" and problem holes: #2 and #6 are very short; #6 throws up a fairway barely wider than a walking path; #5 is almost a complete U-turn throwing out of the woods and back in; #9 plays across the park road, and #18 is a completely open 122' hole for your closer


Other Thoughts:

~ the tee sign on #13 shows a fairway mowed in the shape of a dolphin. Great idea, but it doesn't seem to have been kept up


~ Soft pars and short holes make it a good place for beginners



COURSE AMENITIES:
Very good signs; old but still effective DisCatcher baskets, paver tees that have sunken into the dirt (mud)

Easy, but annoying. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Easy to navigate
-Holes clearly marked
-Open year round
-Quiet neighborhood
-Not hard to get to
-Beginner friendly layout

Cons:

-Very low degree of difficulty
-Most holes favor RHBH. (Take that as you will.)
-Essentially zero parking
-Gets VERY "buggy" in the summer. Bring your bug spray.
-Gets VERY overgrown in the summer. Don't bring any plastic with sentimental value.
-No tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

This is a quaint, short, easy course that's great for beginners. October through May it's a great course, albeit a little damp. Once the summer rolls around, this course becomes VERY annoying. Very narrow fairways (especially on the back 9) are lined with 3 foot tall weeds and grass. It's VERY difficult to finish around bagging all the discs you began with. The holes aren't hard by any definition, they're just maintained in such a way that anything but a "stellar" throw is going to result in 3-4 minutes of disc hunting.

Unfortunately, the course appears to be maintained by the municipality, so that's not likely to change any time soon. Plans are in place to have concrete tee pads installed in the future which will make the course significantly better in the rainy seasons.

Work in Progress 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 11, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Course is young and will improve
-Dedicated followers
-Great course for newer players

Cons:

-Many holes are very short
-Easy card marks a few par 4's that should be par 3's
-Many holes still needed trimming

Other Thoughts:

Young course, so will update this review at the end of the year. Some holes still needed clearing. For the more advanced player, this is more of a mid-range/putter course but in the future seems like it could be a great place to take kids or new players to get a feel for the game. Interested to see how the teepads take shape and the next 9 that is planned.
