Potential Realized

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 30, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

As a previous reviewer mentioned before the redesign, this course had a lot of potential. The course has now realized its potential.

Recently expanded to 18 holes
Mostly new concrete tee pads
New Veteran baskets
Most of the holes are wooded
Elevation comes into play on most holes
Hole lengths range from the 150' hole 8, a pure ace run, to the 550' hole 16
Plenty of short ace runs
Excellent upkeep
Doesn't take long to play

Cons:

No tee signs or any other signage whatsoever. Playing without a course map or guide would be pretty hard.
Some holes become unplayable when there are too many people in the park

Other Thoughts:

This course in Morgantown City Park used to be, from what I have gathered, an open 9-hole course. Recently, however, it was redesigned into 18 holes. All of the baskets and most of the tee pads were replaced. Most of the holes are now playing through the trees on the hillside on the edge of the park.

The holes range from 150' to 350', with hole 16 being an outlier at 550'. The average hole length here is 252'. However, removing holes 16-18 and hole 1 (the only holes over 300'), the average hole length is 215'.

This is the closest course to where I live, and it is a nice change from all the courses in Bowling Green. I enjoy playing this course when I get a chance.

So much potential.......... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 26, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 Liberty baskets and really nice teepads.

Cons:

Boring! The description said short beginner course. It should have said LONG and boring course. Maybe they were thinking ball golf when the course was designed, hence the description of short??????

6 holes are basically throwing in a field with no obstacles.

Other Thoughts:

Holes 7 & 9 are keepers. The rest needs redesigned or a lot of trees planted. Lots of trees in this park, but the open fields were used instead.

There's a course designer right down the road in Bowling Green!!!!
