A Long Trek For Some Bad Golf! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 25, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

After reading the previous reviews, I am now convinced that I was playing in the correct clockwise direction around the outer perimeters of he school's property. I wasn't convinced this was the right direction as I played the course (baskets) last night. There are no signs. The nice Discatchers baskets aren't numbered. There are no tee pads.

For use by middle schoolers, this is a terrible design. The deep rough is ever present on the left side on holes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8. They would forever be throwing hyser bombs into the woods. Experienced players might be able to avoid the thick wooded areas.

By the time you've walked all the way around this course only to end at the opposite side of the school, you'll probably be thinking, nevermore. I was.

Is # 8 a ridiculous hole for middle school students? Yes, it is. Do you expect these kids to play this big long sweeping hole around all this rough and not hyser into the thickness two of three times? I would like to watch good players throw tomahawks over the woods for birdies. Or watch Dave Feldberg throw his giant hyser bomb drive around the trees.

Cons:

No signs.

No tee pads.

No numbers on baskets.

Too long for middle school students.

Too many chances to loss discs.

Doesn't loop.

Long walk for lousy golf. I guess if you wanted to, you could play this course backwards. Couldn't be much worse.

Other Thoughts:

A few days back I played the Goodson Middle School course in Cypress. I found it to be a perfectly designed course for middle school students. This designer should talk to that designer who actually knows and understands 11-14 year olds.

I can't see this course getting much play. I predict it will fall into disrepair and become an eyesore. It's a waste of some good baskets.
