Hey Little Baldy!

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

My review title sounds like an insult but actually it's a quote from me saying hello to the course haha. This is another one of those family friendly pitch and putts attached to a larger course to accommodate new players or as to use a warm up or cool down before or after the larger course on site which is how we used the course. After playing the bigger course on site this was a nice change of pace and it's always fun to drive putters or play SuperClass. A few holes had some trees to them to break up the 'throw in an open field to an open basket' feel that the rest of the course had which is appreciated.

Cons:

It's not for serious golfers - it's very short and most of the holes are wide open. The tee pads are pretty bad if you're into running up on holes less than 200 feet (lulz) and just fine for stand stills with putters and Zephyrs. Not enough obstacles to be actually fun sadly aside from like 2 holes.

Other Thoughts:

If you're in town I recommend playing the big course on site for sure as it's pretty decent and so you might as well play this one too and tick it off the list if you're the course bagging type which if you're reading this I'm guessing you are.

Littlefoot Is A Pitch And Putt Designed With Families In Mind! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

I'm not sure what the official name is? DGCR list the course as Sandpoint-Littlefoot DGC. But signs at the course call this Little Baldy Family Course. Whatever you choose to call it, this course is a simple straightforward pitch and putt. The course has Discatchers and natural pads. There are no signs. Distances range from 107' and only # 4 is over 200' at 226'.

The holes are mostly open but a couple have some trees protecting them. This is a pretty ideal course for that newbie or elementary age players. I'd be confident that some of the Baldfoot regulars get over from time to time working on their short game or just chasing those Aces.

Cons:

The course sits in mostly a field which doesn't provide a lot of obstacles.

Beginner distances.

Natural pads.

Dustiest parking lot anywhere. This probably isn't a serious con, eh? Visiting Canadian players with clean cars will understand.

Other Thoughts:

I love the simplicity of this course. This is the course that you can bring that beginner, beginner to and not frustrate them. It could be a little more visually attractive but you can't please everyone. I'm sure the "Little Baldy Family Course" ( see photo) accomplishes exactly what it was designed for.

Basic Short Beginner Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Fulfills it purpose as a beginner/family course very well.

Excellent course to work on short game skills.

Three holes that require a good shot to get a two.

Usually no one else playing, so safari rounds can be played. There are enough trees and room that almost any shot can be designed.

Fairways and greens get mowed a couple times a year.

Two holes where elevation is a factor.

Great option to throw some discs if you don't have the 1 ½ hours it usually takes to play Baldfoot.

Cons:

Dirt tees.

Six of the holes are open and very easy.

Very short, most holes are between 120' and 180'.

Mosquitoes can be heavy during the wet times of year.

Other Thoughts:

Not a course to make a special trip to play, but it is a good warmup for a round on Baldfoot for course baggers.

There is plenty of room and enough trees that a more challenging design could be implemented while still keeping the course beginner friendly.
