Average first Community Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 baskets with mature trees and no underbrush. Slight elevation changes on a few holes. Grills scattered through-out along with picnic tables. Play area includes Jungle Gym and Slide. Course plays around Pavilion and Basketball court.

Cons:

Signage; no numbers on the baskets? Tees only marked by 6x12 painted blocks,level with ground,painted white with red letters. They only have "hole 2" on them, no distance or course par. Average length is 300'

Other Thoughts:

Take the park road around the northside of the lake to the eastside. Park in the big gravel parking lot. #1 tee is not marked,that I saw. Just cross over the paved park road to the N.W. Corner of the grassy area. I tee'd just to the right of the #9? Basket. It's an uphill 325'? Shot lined with mature trees and a low canopy approach shot,toward the building. #2 walk to the right of the building,tee is by the tree with a "staff parking" sign bolted to the tree. It plays to the right of the basketball courts. The basket is up the incline about half way for a roll-a-way green. #3 tee is to the right of #2 basket about 25' throw up the incline that has a very low branch right in front of the tee. (Needs cut)? Plays over the sidewalk that goes to the pavilion. #4 go to your left of basket #3 to the N.E. Corner of the pavilion. Basket is located by the street/baseball parking area. Behind mature trees,no low canopy....325'? Ace run! #5 is at the corner of the paved park road and the gravel road. Throw north,toward a little gravel parking lot, lowish canopy the last 1/4 of the hole. #6 tee is on the northside of the gravel parking lot. Tee down the slight decline toward the paved road 225'?,low canopy the last 1/4 of the hole. #7 tee is between #6 & #9 baskets. A gentle uphill drive,low canopy the last 1/4 of the hole....again. #8 tee is west of the slide,plays back to the building. #9 tee is to the right of #8 basket,at the end of the building. Plays back to the parking lot. Fairway is lined with low branches. With so many other activities in the area on a nice weather/Holiday weekend a true beginner WILL have problems. A more seasoned DG'er COULD have problems,especially if a ricochet happens. Rumor as it if this course gets used another 18 may be installed. So if your in the area get a round in!
