Fun Sized

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 12, 2024 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

+5 nice Innova baskets in good shape.
+Easy to find your way around, no navigation issues
+Ace runs possible on every hole
+Elevation change makes this course what it is. If it was flat, it would be terrible.
+Decent shot variation overall. There are uphill, downhill, across the hill and flattish holes.
+The park is nice and includes a shelter, playground, and nice landscaping. I think there are usually restrooms but they didn't seem open in the winter.

Cons:

-Grass tees. Not bad but showing some wear.
-Just 5 holes. It's bound to get boring after a bit. If I was local, I would definitely play often as opposed to driving into Omaha to play Hummel. Hummel is great but it's a big course with lots of walking so a drive there and back plus a round is probably about 3 hours on average. Can play here in 10 minutes to get your DG fix in.
-No signage beyond hole #
-Quite short overall.

Other Thoughts:

+Overall, this course had a high fun factor for a round or two. It would probably wear off quickly but it's well done for what they had to work with.
+Glad they didn't cram 4 more baskets in here. 5 is still reasonably safe with no glaring safety issues.
+I played with just a putter and had fun. It's a good place to work on approach shots, especially ones with tricky greens and slopes.
