Nice facilities, nice practice area, best course on the Island 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very good, like new, DisCatchers.
Tees are marked, two on every hole. Blues are concrete, but a little small.
Nice, golf course like grass on most of the holes. Just watch out for balls on the driving range.
Practice baskets, near #9, not #1 tee.
There is a mix of hole types, they are just grouped together.
Nice facility, friendly people in the office.

Cons:

White tees are grass, not bad though, since its golf course quality.
First 5 holes are pretty much the same, Annie (RHFH) shots around the perimeter of the driving range/practice holes.
#2 Blue Tee looks insanely tight and unforgiving, good luck playing that one.

Other Thoughts:

This would be a good enough course if you are staying on HHI and don't feel like (or can't drive) off the island to the 18 hole courses nearby. The facility is the Boys and Girls Club of HHI and they run the First Tee program here also, a program to expose ball (and disc ?) golf to less privileged youths. Makes sense that they combine them on the same property.
Well kept property, nice to play a course with well cut grass and it looks like someone cares.
As I mentioned earlier, the first 5 holes are pretty much the same shot. #3 does move the tee away from treeline, so you have a more open drive. Lefties probably really love this course.
#6 is basically a tunnel shot, with (finally) a righty hyzer finish.
#7 plays either over or beside the large pond, with the wind blowing the day I was there, I didn't get too risky.
#8 and #9 finish in some not too dense woods, good chance to work on your shot shaping.
I had some extra time when I was there and used the open space for some field work, hey, it is a golf training facility!
Good quick round, as long as you keep it on the short grass. It looks like they are doing good work here, so check in at the office when you get there and don't forget to leave a donation.
