Rehab & Beginner Heaven 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 7, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

It was designed for middle school kids to expand their gym program but it delivers a step or two above that. The open holes offer enough distance to challenge a beginner's fairway driver and also offer an opportunity to work out the long range mid shots. The wooded holes pack 4-5 different tee shot types into this short course. I threw a couple pure RHBH flat/hyzers, but had to mix in forehand, flex, and hyzer bomb to find the green.

Cons:

The only cons are really that it is beginner/kid-focused. People complain about the walk between 6 and 7, but you'd end up needing to take the walk anyways to get back to 1. If you want all the holes strung together, play 7-9, 1-6, and take the walk at the end.

Other Thoughts:

I'm using this course to get back into things after over a year off. It really does offer up 6-7 different shot types off the 9 tees which has been great for waking up the different disc types, throwing angles, and grips. Get creative and throw in your own OB rules in a few places to increase the challenge. The course follows a cross-country running course, and there are plenty of side trails for you to craft your own back-9 options if you want to run 2 laps and create a unique 18.

Hidden gem 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 31, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

For a "mini 9 hole" this course was really great. Challenging as is appropriate for a beginner course and then some. 3 open holes, 2 of them at 290ft and one was uphill with OB roadway. The wooded holes were short but were not too hard or too easy. Decent fairways with a few guardian trees to make things interesting. A few holes uphill and a few downhill. Navigation fairly easy, I took a photo of the map at the first tee and used it to find tee7. Open field right there is great for warming up.

Cons:

The walk from 6 to 7 was a bit long around the front of the school, but not a big deal.

Other Thoughts:

This is not an epic destination like a Borderland but If I lived close I would be there almost every day for quick fun rounds. Great place for kids and beginners.

Pros:

Great short course for practicing upshots and putting. Good teepads. Not much brush off the fairway.
Ace runs.

Cons:

Not open when school is in session.
Could use more signage.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great little 9 hole course. You can get through it in under an hour.
