Black Squirrels
Cons:
Might be one of the most dangerous courses I have played, it's up there in the top 5 for sure.
No tee signs, but I was able to find all the tee's

Other Thoughts:
Ok, I happen to LOVE small town courses, actually the more compact the park, the more I tend to enjoy them.
Most of the time I am playing in the middle of the day and no one else is using the park. HOWEVER this park was in heavy use. A lot of people where walking the path and if you look at the pics I posted, you will see that not only are the walking paths used as tee pads, 2 of the holes throw down the sidewalk. And yes, I had to wait on both holes for people to walk down the fairway before I could throw my shot.
The Path is on an old railroad track, the course does make good use of this slight elevation on a couple of the holes.
There is also a line of medium size trees along this hill that come into play.
hole 2 is kind of an island shot, the basket is across the park road near the parking lot. Again, a truck came and stopped and I had to throw around him. Of course he moved right after I threw.
holes 6 and 7 are the longest holes Hole 6 is a decent distance hole with the park road on the left and the Sidewalk/path on the right.
hole 7 was not quite as good. I could not see a line. Several very large trees made up the fairway and I didn't see a fairway. I wound up kicking off a tree into the street. On top of that, there is a Black Squirrel monument and information signs about the history of the Black Squirrels in the city on the left side of the fairway.
Holes 8 was an ok hole, wide open, but a dogleg to the right for a big turnover shot.
Then hole 9 was just boring. Wide open shot where only overthrowing would be bad, although the playground is off to the left, an errant throw could go there.
Would I play here again? Actually if I was driving though town, I would consider stopping here again. It's a fun little pitch and putt course with a couple of fun holes, you just have to watch out for other park users.
It is 1000X better than the course on the other side of town, that is for sure.
