The beginner course at O'Hauser Park is a very short but wooded nine hole course with all holes under 200' except for hole 9. That one tops out at 207'. Nice little warm up or cool down course after playing the main course. The distances are short but there are some touchy little shots for being so short.

The Baskets are brand new Mach X's. These are really nice baskets, almost overkill for such a short course but I'm not complaining. It appeared that there was just the one pin placement per hole from what I could tell.

The flow of the course is very easy to follow. There were narrow but heavily wood chipped paths between holes throughout the course. The holes are all still pretty close anyways. The course starts just west of the practice basket by the opening in the woods. You'll see the basket for hole 9 first. Just keep walking ahead and you'll see hole 1 on your left. Very simple from there on.

Rubber tee pads on each hole. These are a harder type than what you usually see but they do have some tread-like raised spots which should help with traction in wetter conditions. Plenty long and wide enough for holes of these lengths. One pad per hole.

The course was surprisingly well balanced between FH and BH shots actually. My FH sucks so some of these holes were surprisingly tricky actually.

This course is free to play which is nice to see for a beginner course.

The rough is pretty thick in spots currently, being so new. I'm sure it'll get beat in pretty good in short order but it's tough even just a few feet off the fairway right now.

There are tee signs right now but they're just laminated paper ones with the hole # only. Not a huge deal since you can see every basket but not very helpful either.

Fun little course. I'm a pretty big fan of the main course here so it's cool to have a second little nine onsite. Not a must play but if you make it out here to play the big course it's certainly worth a spin. Only takes about a half hour tops to play anyway.
