I'd Like It More Without Throwing Around The Homeless Dudes! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 8, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Freedom Park is a large, flat park with scattered trees, scattered homeless population, bathrooms, picnic shelters, soccer season fields, children's play areas and more. The nine hole course starts near the parking lot. The first three holes play around an area with a few more trees before opening up for some wide open holes. Then 7-9 play back toward the starting point. The course plays as a basic recreational level course. There's often just a lone tree or two or the occasional homeless person as an obstacle. # 9 does have two guide wires which happen to fall directly where I wanted to throw by tee off.

The course features 4' X 4' concrete tee pads with house numbers imbedded in them. There are no signs so the flat tee pads are somewhat difficult to locate your first time through. The baskets are basic older models with numbers welded on them.

Cons:

The park has a fair amount of trash left behind by the vagrant guys. No surprise here. It's flat with few obstacles, basically lacking in the creative department. But, I'm not sure what more the course designers could have done here.

Somehow, # 8's basket has had the entire outer row of chains disconnected from the ring at the bottom. How this happened, I do not know but I'm willing to place the blame on these homeless guys. They're easy targets.

Other Thoughts:

This pretty much qualifies as a ho hum course. Nothing to get too excited about but it's worth playing if you live close by. For me, aging rec player, the holes didn't offer much in the way of excitement. I don't think my score would vary much here. There's not many ways to get into trouble but for me, there wern't many places to pick up strokes either. Ho Hum! Par, Par, Par, ZZZZZZZZZ.
