Typical City Park course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Typical City Park course that is woven through a park with plenty of mature trees.

This one used the elevation well.

Holes were marked with plates in the ground, usually fairly close to last basket. This made navigation easy.

Several ace run holes (#4 and #8) and plenty of deuce possibilities (all these holes should be par threes.)

Cons:

Tee pads were worn grass spots, some which have seen better days.

Other Thoughts:

Course 1 of a five course road trip through Alton and then south in Illinois. While not a "wow" course, was one of the better ones on this day.

No real memorable holes, but definitely no clunkers either.

Would make this a part of my regular rotation if it were closer to home.

Concrete pads would move this to a "3", and 18 holes would make it a 3.5.

A Decent Enough Course drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 26, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course has now been updated to 18 holes. Flow is not all that bad, but hopefully signage will improve. Currently (Oct 2022) signage is missing. I couldn't find #11 basket. That's on me, I suppose, but I looked for some time and still couldn't find it.

Cons:

Long holes - 600+ feet - are par 4. Tough par 4 for me. Younger players should do better.

Other Thoughts:

I really like the course, even with the additional 18 holes. Signage will REALLY help. I hope signage shows up.
