In a small town with not much else to do, the simple fact that it exists is a big pro. All of the holes except for #6 have signs, which were very helpful. The park grounds crew keeps it pretty well trimmed. There is a good mixture of long holes (#9 tops out at over 500 feet) and challenging holes (#6 and #7 require precision shots to get through the trees), with the character of both natural obstacles and man-made obstacles (such as the train caboose on #8). The cluster of trees at #5 is a lot of fun to try to work around, especially since you can approach the basket on the other side of the cluster from either direction.

The tee pads are way too short. They have rubber pads for every tee, but there's not enough pad to run up. I had to start well off the pad, which wound up throwing off my approach steps more often than I liked.

Some of the holes (#3 and #9 come to mind) have low-hanging tree branches right in front of the tee pad, making it exceedingly difficult to get off a decent drive, especially for longer holes. While the grass it trimmed very nicely, the trees need some work.

I played four rounds at 8:00 in the morning this last time through. When I first started no one was there, but as the morning progressed on, there were several times I had to wait for joggers/walkers to pass by. The course runs along the jogging/walking path. I could see this being an issue at busier times.

I'm not sure I would go out of my way to play this course, but if you're passing through Lamar or staying in town it's worth checking out. It's not a great course, but it's still a course that does provide some challenge to it. Play it several times if you do. I managed to improve my score each of my subsequent rounds on this trip.

Good baskets, tee signs were pretty helpful. A couple of mandos to add difficulty. Tee pads are rubber with level terrain so you have good run ups. 3 par4 hole 6,7,9. Lots of character for small town, stop and play.

No concrete tee pads. Lots of going over the running path. Throwing near playground on hole7

Sweet little park stop and play through a couple of times

- Decent variety of holes that call for different types of throws.
- The park is well maintained (plus the grounds crew guys were really friendly)
- Most of the tee signs are helpful, with one exception.
- Good use of the available trees.
- More challenging than I expected an almost unknown 9-hole course to be.
- Rubber tee pads aren't as nice as concrete, but they're much better than dirt.

- The tee sign for hole 6 is hand-drawn with no distance marked. (The distance in the that I uploaded is a very rough estimate)
- The parking lot comes into play a decent amount, which could be an issue when there are baseball games going on in the park.
- Not much elevation change.
- Only 9 holes (Not that there's really room for more)

Look out for the mando on hole 9. We didn't notice it initially, so the hole seemed like a really easy birdie (based on the labeled par of 4). The mando changes the hole entirely, and makes the par 4 label seem more reasonable. I'm guessing they put it in there to direct drives away from the baseball field.
