Bigger than youd think 2+ years drive by

Played on:Sep 21, 2012
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
The holes are pretty long where you get to throw it a couple times. They do a nice job incorporating the woods where they can to make the tee shots more tricky. There is 2 tee positions.
Cons:
The signs are gone. All that is left is the poll that holds it up. Course is very short.
Other Thoughts:
It is 10 minutes from IUP so you could warm up here.

More than meets the eye... 2+ years

Played on:Sep 21, 2012
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Much more variety than you would expect from the size of this park. Nice baskets and well marked natural tees. Holes start in an open field then move through the woods befor finishing in the field again.
Cons:
No change in elevation. The Signs for the course don't really exist. There are metal posts, but the signs from the tops of the posts are gone. Very short course wrapping aroung the parking lot.
Other Thoughts:
Given the space they had, they did a decent job with this course. Nothing spectacular, but it is worth checking out if you are in the area. It worked as a ood warm-up before heading to IUP.

Beginner Friendly 2+ years drive by

Played the course:never
Pros:
Great course for beginners. If your tired of hiking the Lodge, this course is for you. Only 5 minute drive from the Lodge. Red, White, and Blue tees. Not that hard to find each tee or basket.
Cons:
Tee signs are destroyed but course is small enough that you can find your way around. From Red and White tees you'll be throwing putters and midrange discs a lot. Hole #6 is pretty wet, all the time.
Other Thoughts:
This is another home course for myself. Since the Lodge is closed in the Winter months we added the Blue Tees which adds as much length as possible. If you have 30 minutes to waste come play Getty from the Reds and see if you can birdie every hole.

Not a bad little course 2+ years drive by

Played the course:never
Pros:
I've never seen a little rec course like this have three sets of tees before. And the different tees mix it up nicely as well. Trees are in play but don't overwhelm the course. Pretty beginner friendly.
Cons:
Any recreational pitch and putt so close to College Lodge is going to pale in comparison to it, no matter how nice a place it is. Hole #6 was a bit too close to a busy road for comfort; the optimal hyzer route for lefties goes over the street.
Other Thoughts:
Provides a decent level terrain alternative to those who can't handle the steep hills of College Lodge, or those just looking for an easier course or a change of pace.
