Decent public park design. drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Decent rubber Tee-pads.
-Baskets in good shape.
-Decent diversity of shot shapes considering its mostly open design.
-Usually not too busy.
-OK use of numbers and Arrows to direct you to the next tee (considering there isn't any detailed signs here)

Cons:

-Some holes have been forced into the old layout in order to get this course up to 20 holes. There are 2 holes that are so short that you could jump putt them.
-Some Tee-pads could find themselves under fire from other holes.
-Lacking proper signage, i could see myself frustrated if i were coming here for the first time. (i actually witnessed a group today playing from 5's tee to 6's basket, and moving straight on to 7. Also, there are other holes i could see people accidentally skipping if they were new here.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I do enjoy this course. It has its problems with signage, and can be frustrating for groups new to the area. Despite this, i find myself stopping here on my way home from work because it's a pretty good design, and forces a number of different shot shapes. Also a good course for anyone playing solo, because its pretty hard to throw a shot that isn't immediately findable by yourself in the matter of seconds. I do feel like some holes don't need to be here, but i guess you could circumvent them and play the old layout if you just skip them and tee off from the old tee's. It has a nice diversity of open long drives, shorter mid/putter/fairway-driver finesse drives, and roller opportunities. I have yet to come here and found myself waiting, there are usually no more than a handful of groups here, and most have been good about letting faster groups play through.

nice to play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 4, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

nice short course that lets you experience open holes and some challenging low shots under trees fun to play with a midrange for practice or try new things

Cons:

confusing tee locations and baskets. no good signage just numbers on trees. missing tee pads on a few holes don't remember what ones. the tee at number 5 is located too close to the hole 4 basket within 30 ft

Other Thoughts:

needs improved signs this would greatly improve the flow of the course great potential

Nice small local course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 9, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice small course in a local park. Mixture of open and wooded holes. Easy for a beginner or someone looking for quick practice. Good variety of holes. Not usually many people playing.

Cons:

Course is fairly short. Tees can be hard to locate if you don't know where they are, some of them are marked with square plate on ground. No real signs, just a few numbers on some trees. Can get a little muddy when wet.

Other Thoughts:

This is the course I learned on and still play regularly cause it's close to work. Despite how short it is, I really like this course because of the different hole configurations it offers. This course was laid out very well for the compact design. Not usually many people playing so you can go as fast or as slow as you want. If they ever put signs and teepads in I'd give it a 4.

Open course in a park setting 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 10, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well maintained, multiple pin placements.

Cons:

A lot of shorter holes

Other Thoughts:

Churchville is definitely an enjoyable course but it's nothing extraordinary. Most holes play in relatively open fields with no weeds/rough in sight so if you want to practice your drives, come here. The creek comes into play on #5 (at least on a bad shot) but otherwise there aren't any holes where you need to worry about losing a disc.

Like Jim said, this is a great course for beginners or intermediate players but for anyone looking for a really challenging course Churchville probably won't be on your radar. That said, it's still fun to play, especially if you like to "grip it and rip it" without worrying about losing a disc :)

Morale-booster :) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very beginner friendly. Fairly short and open. Some challenges.

Cons:

Too short and easy for most advanced golfers. A birdie-fest but a morale booster.

Other Thoughts:

Still an enjoyable day for intermediate level golfers like me. Great place to bring newbies.
