Fast and Fun drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 25, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice big trees, Bellingham Parks Dept keeps this place pretty well maintained. The atmosphere is very chill. There are a variety of shots required, some of the holes are heavily wooded and require precision, some are longer and more open. The baskets are nice, except for #7. It's hard to lose discs here, unless you throw too many and forget to grab them all, or huck one into the creek on #3. There are two practice baskets and an old softball field where you can practice driving if it's not occupied.

Cons:

Biggest con is the tee pads for me, I've rolled my ankle twice on the uneven bricks. Be careful doing a full run up on 1, 6, 7, or 9. Really hoping someone fixes these with concrete at some point, the size of the pads is nice, just getting pretty sketchy to go for max distance. The basket on 7 is damaged and doesn't play well from the far side.

Other Thoughts:

This is my local 9 hole course, I play 3-4 times/week. The difficulty is fairly low, the holes are all roughly in the 200 - 350 foot range. Free tips - bring some understable discs, 1, 4 and 6 are easier with some turn over on your drives. There's almost always a headwind on 3, throw overstable drivers there, or risk losing your disc in Baker Creek on the right side, I've done it twice, now I only throw my Nuke there. 9 is a great place to throw a roller, if you're into that.

Fun, quick course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a fun course that has a few challenging shots, but nothing overwhelming. It's a great place to stop by, stretch and take in some fresh air.

Cons:

Unfortunately Bellingham is outgrowing this course so it's very busy, all the time, during Summer and crowded on most clear weekends.

Other Thoughts:

The locals here are extremely nice and helpful, however you need to know course etiquette in order to keep this packed course moving efficiently.

Short, Fun, yet challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 2, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Cornwall has a nice layout, heavily wooded holes add a challenge to otherwise short distances. Great for beginners, families, a quick round or a confidence booster. I've played here hundreds of times and still enjoy it.

Cons:

As has been mentioned, not a lot of distance or elevation.
No signage can confuse first time players, but locals will help out.
Course can get very crowded w/ families, strollers, beginners, dogs, etc... on weekends.

I Love This Little Pitch & Putt! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 21, 2000 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course is located in a lovely little, shaded city park with tall evergreens trees everywhere. Although distances are very short, with only one hole longer than 220 feet, the holes are challenging enough to keep it interesting. It's an awesome course for the beginning or youth player. The question is, Can you shoot 10 under? 12 under? I found it to be an absolute delight. It's located just a couple blocks off an I-5 Bellingham exit so that makes for easy access. If you're driving from Seattle to Vancouver, BC, stop and play a couple rounds. It only takes about 30 minutes.

Cons:

It's a pitch and putt. There's no holes for those big arm types. There's no water hazards. There's no elevation to speak of. Everyone shoots like a Tiger Woods on this course!

Other Thoughts:

It won't be holding any state or national tournies. You wouldn't want it for your home course.....but I'd love to move it across the street from my house.
