Lovely Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun mid-size course that meanders through a steamy junglescape and then opens into a park environment for holes 8 and 9. Took my cousins for their first DG game and everyone had a good time. Great course for beginners and intermediate players.

Cons:

If you want to enhance the experience do yourself a favor and spray for ticks and chiggers before you head-out into the jungle portion (Holes 3-7). We all felt part of the parasite food chain by the end of the nine, but after our collective tick check and removal we decided to do it again.

Other Thoughts:

If I lived close by I would gladly play here to sharpen my DG tools.

Hee Haw! The Hillbilly Is Some Down Home Fun! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 9, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The little 9 hole Hillbilly course plays up and down and through the woods at the Laurie Fairgrounds. The course starts right by the horseshoe pits (you didn't think it started by the Starbucks stand, Did you?).

The tee poles have a sponsor on each as well as a small as a map on a small map. The tee pads are crushed rock and tend to puddle up. The baskets are cheap, rusted out models of unknown origin. Most holes have a garbage pail attached to the tee pole.

# 1 plays to a basket in the trees. Then # 2 is 178' to a basket through the trees. # 3 plays 340' gently downhill past the fairground's dumping grounds. # 4 is an anhyser throw featuring a tight Mando. 5 is just 210 across some high grass. # 6 is 217' through the woods. # 7 is a little longer at 355'. # 8 is finally a chance for you to get some big air. It's 400' across the valley. But # 9 is perhaps the signature hole here. It's a 400' throw with a low Initial window you need to stay below.

Cons:

Crummy baskets.

Tee pads aren't that impressive either.

Funky signs.

Trashy dumping area on the # 3 fairway.

Walkway is partially blocked by fallen limbs between 5 and 6, I think?

Other Thoughts:

The Hillbilly course kinda lives up to it's name. It kinda has this Appalachian vibe going for it. You know how the poor people in Appalacia used to make their own musical instruments or toys for their kid's Christmas. It has somewhat the same feel here. Like folks built this course using whatever material they had on hand. Maybe, i was just influenced because the fairgrounds have such a rustic/hillbilly feel with the pioneer buildings and all.

Regardless, it's still a pretty fun throw. If I lived here and I was a hillbilly, I'd come and play and have a hoop and a hollar time.

fun park course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to navigate. Good course for beginners, or for experienced players who are vacationing with friends/family... The course is challenging enough for an intermediate player, but probably a good place for beginners to learn. Wide variety of tee shots.

Cons:

Only 9 holes. A little difficult to find the first teebox. It would benefit from an alternative set of teeboxes so that a player could go around twice & get 18 different looks.

Other Thoughts:

I was in town on a vacation last week and played this course. There hasn't been a review in a few years, so this just a heads up that the course still exists, and it's seemingly well maintained. It's a good use of the land, but it is what it is: a 9-hole course in a municipal park. It's worth playing if you're in the neighborhood.

Small town course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Located in a nice city park with restrooms and waste cans nearby. It has a fun design and some challenging curves. The tees are marked and easy to find. The course is new and unfinished. It is playable and is on its way to being top notch.

Cons:

8 & 9 are down the road not too far to be a problem. Because this course is not finished, they took a quick scan to find.

Other Thoughts:

This course is worth a short drive to get to. When completed it will be one of the better in its area. The town of Laurie has some nice places to eat as well...
