North Bloomington Park DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The grass. I don't mind playing in sage brush once in a while, but I do get tired of constantly looking for my discs on most of the courses in southwest Utah.
The course is shorter, which is just fine for this old fogie. Trees come into play on every hole, which has helped me hone my accuracy a bit. Some holes favor a backhand, while others are more sidearm friendly. Helps a beginner develop different shots.
Can easily be played with three or fewer discs. Even I can do it.

Cons:

The park can get busy. I've had to skip a couple of holes before due to people playing near or in front of the baskets. There is also a dog near the basket of #1 and tee pad of #2 that has escaped his yard twice within the past 3 months while I have been playing. Had to call animal control the first time as she wouldn't let me past. Really surprised when she jumped out the second time about 3 weeks ago. I was sure they would have taken her away. Just be careful as there always seem to be dogs here.

Other Thoughts:

Despite the dogs, my favorite place to play in southern Utah. I don't even bother with the courses in Cedar City. Way too far above my level. I play this course every time I find myself in St George during the winter.
Always well maintained, though the grass can get long in the fall.

North Bloomington Park DGC-best in St. George 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Challenges/Pros:
• Mature trees clustered together and/or with some low hanging branches increase difficulty on multiple holes.
• Nice mixture of holes favoring both forehand and backhand drives including some longer nearly wide open drives with pins sheltered somewhat by trees.
• Good cement pads and signage.
• Pedestrian walkways affect some fairways so take care to avoid people.
• Wind can sometimes significantly affect play difficulty.

Cons:

Opportunities for Improvement:
• Moving the one pin (#2 I think) up out of its prior location may have been an error as it was more challenging where it was originally.
• Signage should be improved to guide players from pins to the next tee box i.e. #8 to #9, in particular.

Other Thoughts:

Perspective: Intermediate level, Master's 60+ player with low to intermediate arm strength.

Course Details/Info:
• 9-hole course plays around the periphery of North Bloomington Park.
• A paved walking path borders and crisscrosses portions of the moderately wooded course.
• The 1st tee box is to your left as you park in the small parking lot.
• Course is organized in a somewhat figure-of-eight fashion.

Summary of Rating/Play:
• Very appropriate for Masters 50-60+, beginners, intermediate adults, younger players particularly if one wants to work on curving drives, tight fairway drives, approach shots, and putting.
• Probably the best overall course in the St. George area (except for the Pro-level courses in Cedar City) although you do have to watch out for pedestrians.
• Overall, I would rate this as a "4" course.

Big thank you to the Boy Scouts for their hard work!
