Beverly Hills Park is short and friendly, but has several interesting shots, including a couple of great shots off a 25' hill... just plain fun for beginners and experienced players alike.
Riverview Grasslands is pretty good for beginners as well. Fairly easy, but still requires some shot shaping.
IMO,
Detroit, MI Jayne/Lasky Park is an perfect example of how
not to design a course. No imagination in hole design whatsoever: 9 baskets in an open field with no obstacles. Every single basket is directly in front of the tee; straight shots from tee to basket the entire 9 holes. Nothing you could call a fairway or any reason to shape a shot - nothing curves left or right, no uphill or downhill. Every single hole feels like the hole before except for the very few variations in distance (
5 of the 9 holes range from 250'-285', with the rest clocking in at: 170, 205, 225, and 320).
I don't know of any local 18 hole courses that fit this bill, except for possibly
Mary Beth Doyle, but that's probably a step up in difficulty from those I've listed.
