Short, But Incredibly Charming! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 23, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

With distances in the 150-230 foot range, most would dismiss this course as a neighborhood pitch and putt rec course. They would be mostly right except for the beautiful landscape and impeccable maintenance. There are nice clean lakes that don't really come into play but are on the periphery of the course. There are ornamental trees and shrubs on the course which are used on some holes to force a little bit of shot shaping. There are some cool architectural features and plenty of benches, picnic tables, chill spots, etc. Decent tee signs and most tees use existing sidewalks for tee material. The course mostly plays in the landscaped area between some baseball fields and other park activities including a playground. Definitely a great course for new players, children, and your casual throwing significant other. There is a nice course map, and although navigation is pretty intuitive, there are a couple of long walks between holes.

Cons:

The shortness will be a con for those that prefer longer courses, but if you like fun courses you should at least give it a try. We didn't get any aces on this playthrough but we banged metal and came real close a few times.

The course has a popular sidewalk that runs down the fairways of several holes. We had to wait several times for walkers and bikers to pass by (and that was on an early Tuesday morning).

There are some long walks between a few holes. Most of them are easy to interpret, but from 8's basket to 9's tee requires a long walk down the sidewalk by the road back towards that parking lot by hole 1.

Other Thoughts:

This is not a typical course. The landscaping, scenery, and superior level of maintenance elevate this course above the norm! If you Liked the nearby Bob Gardner course you will probably like this one too.
