Good course to learn the game. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- I considered the biggest pro to be the (what appears to be) newly planted grass really defining the fairways on most holes. The grass alleys show you the most obvious line available and direct you to the basket on a couple holes where it's location isn't immediately noticeable. The fairway definition is reminiscent of the feel of a ball golf course. Hopefully it takes well to the ground and lasts.
- Two sets of tees on most holes (red and blue). This is always great but don't get too excited. If you are reading this, you will almost definitely want to play the blues. The reds are a great addition for someone brand spanking new to the game. 3 of the reds could come in handy on the 3 longest holes for a rec player still developing an arm.
- When there are tee signs to be found on a hole, they are above average featuring read and blue distance. These also help with navigation as they have a bright number on them that can be seen from a distance.
- Good shot lines. The lines are really clear/defined and most of them are interesting enough to entertain good players.
- There are a couple little creeks in play that add to challenge and beauty without being too deep to easily retrieve a disc.

Cons:

- Red tees have basically no signage at all. Maybe an old 4x4 with a faint number on it here and there.
- Signage is missing all together on 4 holes.
- Most of the tee pads are carpet. I'm not opposed to carpet but these in particular have definitely seen better days. One had been completely take over by mud and grass to become a natural pad.
- Distance between holes on multiple holes are longer than average. This can make navigation challenging. Fortunately there is a course map at the kiosk.
- You will almost certainly deal with park users walking on the walking paths that are often close to tees, fairways, and baskets.
- 17 is incredibly wacky. Rare for a par 3 to be 100% un-aceable. Not just a dogleg, but a 180 degree turn at the end.

Other Thoughts:

This course could win some major points with new concrete tee pads on the blues and at least new carpet on the reds. Replacing the missing tee signs would also be a big improvement. The grass fairways and beginner red pads are a really nice touch.

Enjoyable Rounds 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 4, 2014 Played the course:once

Cons:

Tee pads are worn
Navigation may be challenging for first visit

Other Thoughts:

Played two nice and relaxing rounds from the Am pads. The course is laid out to entice beginners and challenging enough to satisfy accomplished players. The Pro pads appeared quite challenging for even top-level players.

Totally exceeded my expectations and worth a visit.

Feb 2020: Ventured back to Booneville and played the Am pads. Found most 2nd shots were 40-50 foot putts ... longer than I could drive or putt, but really easy pars. Shot -1 with a couple stupid putts missed. Overall, too many easy lay-ups for par. Thinking the Pro pads may be a more enjoyable and challenging layout!

worth the drive 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 13, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets are in great shape and the course has a decent mix of open and wooded holes.
alternate pad locations on each hole
Most shots require thought from the tee.
I'm sure that locals can step up and hit the lines that are present but for newbs, it's tight.
it's not a short course so bring your arm and get it lose.

Cons:

The pads are carpet and not level which could cause someone to trip as they tee off.
The flow of the course was a bit confusing at times

Other Thoughts:

overall, the challenge of the course was nice for a city park. Most courses in city parks are very open and short. this park is very nice and we didn't run into any foot traffic.
