Quaint little course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 16, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a quaint little "city park" kind of a course. Relatively short but a bit challenging at the same time. Water (a pond) comes into play on the first two holes, especially on windy days. The mando on the 3rd isn't a big deal. Nice to see that they changed the 4th tee to a place that actually provides a window. #6 is on the knob of a hill and an overthrow can send you rolling on down the other side of the hill, taking away an otherwise easy chip in birdie. For hole 7 you tee off from that same hill and shoot for a 'hidden' basket tucked behind some trees. Short enough however to be able to use your putter off the tee. #9 is really the only hole that presents a challenge. It has some length, and a narrow window between some large pine trees. .... All in all not a bad little course. Someone actually put some thought into designing this course. A very efficient use of small town park.

Cons:

Poorly maintained dirt tee boxes. Some serious "ankle twisters". To the point that on a few (#'s 8 & 9 in particular) you find yourself teeing off outside the box for self preservation. ...... Goose 'droppings' are everywhere on the first four holes. .... Not super challenging.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great "practice" kind of a course. Nobody is ever there so you usually have the place to yourself. I usually play 2-4 discs every hole just for the practice. ... It's also a great family kind of a course. Good for beginners and still 'interesting' for more experienced throwers. ********* UPDATE (5-20-15) The tee boxes here are TERRIBLE. DANGEROUS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT SOON. These are the worst tee pads I've ever seen. I have to take a star away from the rating. And that's too bad, because it really isn't a bad course.
