9/18 Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fun course with some nice touches. This course has nine tee pads with 18 baskets. The designers did a nice job of having players make different shots from the same tee pad to different baskets. It is not the same shot only thrown further. The tee pads are nice and big. Plenty of room for run up. There are some great rock formations on the first two holes. There is some decent elevation where you throw down on two holes and up on two holes. There was some time and effort put into the design.
The signage is very nice and the course flows fairly well from hole to hole. The course makes good use of what trees there are on the course. For a course with only 9 tee pads it is well worth a second and third visit.

Cons:

There is some water in the park and it would have been great to see a few holes around the large pond that is in the park.

Fun course, plays well for multiple skill levels 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 17, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- The course plays with two sets of permanent baskets. They are in great condition and mounted well. The dual-9 or long / short layout is especially nice for families, where not all members may want to play both sets.

- Shorts are relatively simple and longs add some challenge into the course play.

- Good use of elevation and trees to shape the course. Some wide-open holes, here, but not so much that it gets boring fast.

- Clean park, good parking availability, bathrooms, and a pavilion are nice add-ons.

- Practice basket in the center of the drive-circle. Well placed with plenty of room to warm up or teach new players some basics.

- Good signage and bag hooks on the sign posts.

Cons:

- Gravel teepads can be rough or slippery. Not my favorite thing to see on a course, but these are in pretty good repair.

- Some holes could definitely play longer and eliminate part of the walks to the next hole.

- Navigation from 8-9 can be confusing for a first-time play.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course in an area that would otherwise have very little to offer for play options. It's close to camping in the Kettle Moraine State Forest and is worth the stop if you are in the area or just looking for a new course to bag that isn't another 9 baskets in a field.

Nice little park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 4, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 baskets on nine holes of beginner friendly golf. Nice secluded area, I can't see there ever being too many people out here. All the holes are reachable with exception to maybe 3 holes at around 370 ft. Couple of elevation changes makes things interesting. Hole 1 has probably the best man made elevated basket I have ever played on. Tee signs on every hole explaining how to play the intended 18 holes. Bag holder on every hole and benches on most. Definitely some love was given on this course.

Cons:

Only one hole forces a left to right shot(really good hole actually) while 7 shots require a right to left. Maybe more. A couple of them are really great holes but definitely a flaw in the design. Some baskets were mislabeled when I played but if you go by the signs you will be fine. Tee pads are gravel.

Other Thoughts:

Nothing special here but not a waste of baskets either. I'd play it again. I want to rate it 2.75 so I rounded up.
