You're Parked

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 4, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice variety of shots - distances and elevation, open and wooded
-Some cool features that come into play (creek, power line structure, elevation both up and down)
-Free, not crowded
-Brand new Innova Disc Catchers
-High fun factor

Cons:

-Tight in some spots. Hole 4 is a big downhill shot that play across a walking path and Hole 18's fairway. Not ideal. In addition to that, there's a few spots (hole 8 & 9 and 16-18) where the fairways are parallel and fairly tight. A shank on one could end up in the fairway of another. It wasn't crowded when I went, so it was a non-issue, but it could be if it's crowded.
-This is a mixed use park so there's some holes where a walking path is either in the fairway or nearby. Again, when not crowded (which it doesn't seem to be often) it's not an issue but something to be aware of.
-Many of the teepads are old asphalt and short
-Only one set of teepads and baskets per hole

Other Thoughts:

It been a while since there was a review of this course and there have been some changes for the better in that time. For one, this course no longer has homemade baskets. As of 2022, brand new Innova Disc Catchers on every hole. I mentioned the teepads in the cons, but approx. 6 holes have new concrete standard length teepads. Hopefully this is an indication of continued maintenance and upgrades being put into the course. I played my round here on a summer Saturday afternoon. At my home courses, in 2022, this is usually a recipe for a crowded course. Not the case at HA Meyer. I only saw one other group on the course. The rest of the park and walking path didn't get much use either with only the occasional walker passing through on the path. I'm all for growing the sport but I must say, selfishly, this made for an enjoyable round. The course itself was a fun spin. More fun than I expected going in. There's really some nice variety, both in distance and wooded vs open, elevation. The course isn't particularly tough, especially if you have a good arm, but there's still enough challenge to keep even good players honest and the holes play fun. There's a few spots to really rip into a distance driver and there's also some cool tight tunnel shots and places to give it an ace run. The only real blemish is the spot on hole 4/18 overlap, which is a shame because Hole 4 is really the signature hole of this course - a downhill shot to a basket just feet in front of the creek that winds through the park. Hole 4 requires a spotter even if you know the course due to playing over the walking path, you can't see pedestrians coming from one direction on the teepad. I heard this course was originally 9 before being expanded to 18. That makes sense, and I'll take 18 holes over 9 everyday of the week. It's shame though that there's a slight blemish on the signature hole. However, on the whole (and since it wasn't crowded), it was something I could overlook. I'm rating this course a 3.5 but it's more like a 3.75. I thought the course had the perfect level of challenge and setting. Though I rarely rate courses with only one set of teepads/baskets and in mixed use parks this high, if they fixed the rest of the old asphalt teepads (perhaps in the works?) I would be tempted to rate it a 4. Pretty darn good for a free public park 18. Just a solid course and a bit of a hidden gem in Sheboygan County. I'll be back.
