Fences Aren’t Fun 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This first hole is setup just past the ball field on the right when you pull into the park. This course has some holes with decent trees and open holes alike. There are some OB and risk/reward holes. The baskets were in ok condition and the grass/dirt tee pads were in fine shape. My favorite hole was #6, because I liked navigating the trees. #9 made me laugh, because it did give you the option to throw a field goal if you choose on you drive (but try not to hit the kid, see picture).

Cons:

The first couple of holes have baskets set next to an outfield fence of the ball field. This, in my opinion is bad design. I understand making OB areas like a ball field, but to put the basket right next to it makes the risk/reward option, more of a "if I go for it, will I hit someone or interfere with that ball game?" So this is a big negative for me. Also, I don't mind one or two risk/reward holes, but it is not necessary to just keep putting each basket next the same creek and outfield fence over and over. Consecutive holes where baskets are put really close to a drop off to a creek just becomes redundant, not creative. These are fairly short holes, almost all less than 300 feet, which is not really a negative but I needed to mention it somewhere. The tee signs were probably decent at one time, but their condition has gotten weather worn.

Other Thoughts:

The Fun Factor here was nil. Too many OB or Creek Bound holes in a row just made this the same thing over an over. I liked the wooded area. It did not have tons of trees, but they were fun nevertheless. I will not likely be returning here. It just was not my cup of java.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 30, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great use of a small piece of land. Course was very easy to navigate and had nice baskets. Wooded holes were real touchy with creek so close, but doesn't make the course great.

Cons:

Just isn't fun.
Mowing seems to be a problem out there.

Other Thoughts:

If you having a family outing at Caddo lake, it may be fun to squeeze a round in. Otherwise, save your gas money.
