Don't waste your time 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

It has some baskets?
They build some elevated Tee's and pin position?
2 tee's per hole?
Pull cart friendly.

Cons:

The Park
Missing a 3rd of the baskets
Missing several tee posts
Not really any trees
Grass tee boxes (and most were grass because no one plays here)

Other Thoughts:

There is not much to say about this course. It was a total waste of an hour of my time.

I had the map from this web site (UDisc map shows you 18 holes playing alternate tees on the front 9)

I started off thinking OK, big open course meaning a lot of long holes.

Well, that is mostly true, the holes are pretty open, the course does use what few tree's are out there. It is also obvious that some time was taking building small hills for added attraction on the course. However there isn't much to them and they really don't come into play much.

the course is laid out well in that it is two loops, a front nine and a back nine both starting and ending at the large parking lot.

However, hole 9 basket is missing, along with all the very back holes 10, 11, 13, 14, 15. and 17. This is probably why someone made the UDisc map using the front 9 and alternate tee's.

But even with the baskets, you are talking about a lot of 400 to 500 ft holes with relatively no tree's on many of the holes.

If you wanted to, you could play the front 9 using 18's basket as hole 9, then play 10 tee to 12 basket, play 16, then play 17 tee to 12 basket, then play 18 for a reasonable 13 hole course. Or just make up your own tee's using the current baskets.

Would I play here again?

NO way, not even if all 18 baskets were in place with cement tee pads and new signs. Nothing would get me to play here again.

But with that said, I did enjoy watching all the jackrabbits.
