Short niner 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 9, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

-makes good use of available land
-a couple wooded holes (7 and 8)
-one slight uphill shot and one slight downhill shot
-tee signs are informative

Cons:

-Way short
-pea gravel tee pads extend 30 ft in front of tee signs (looks bad and encourages people to make short holes really short).
-Very little shot variety
-No facilities (no bathroom or water)
-Parking situation could get a little hairy when school is in session
-Old baskets with rusty chains

Other Thoughts:

-Quick, short nine holer. But the only course in the Champaign Urbana area.

Pros:

Very good use of available terrain features to provide some challenge to a short course. This also provides a suprising variety of flat, uphill, woods shots. Not overly busy and in a nice neighborhood with a clean well maintained park. Nice for a quick round.

Cons:

Verrryyy short course with some really easy shots. You can see almost all nine baskets from the welcome board.
Course is mastered quickly and after a couple of rounds can be a bore. The Tees are very primitive and poorly maintained. The baskets can turn into mud pits with a good rain. Sits behind an elementary school and parking can be a little ways from the course.

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the closest courses to my home. I try to play whenever I am in Champaign but it is not something I would travel to the area to play. It is a great course for beginners as it gives them opportunity for new shots and has a couple of semi challenging holes. The C-U area needs a better, bigger course with the UI there and they have been planning this for years. Until then this is a nice older short course for a quick round. The description mentions alternate tees but these are not well marked and hard to find in essence you can make up your own course.

short and sweet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 16, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

It's a short course that sets up well for anyine who wants to play it twice. For the amount of land it's on, there is a lot of different shots. Also, if you're in the area and haven't gotten a hole in one, this might be your course. There are alternate tee locations (posted on a sign by the first hole) that make the course a little more difficult. With the wind, it can be pretty hard.

Cons:

The baskets are pretty old and well used. Chains are sloppy. Also, it's the only course in the area and a lot of people play it so the "grass" tees are more like dirt and grit pits.

Other Thoughts:

It's right next to an elementary school. I think they frown on you parking in the school lot.
