Bring your putter when you retire 2+ years

Played on:Oct 10, 2020
Played the course:once
Pros:
+ Immaculate grounds with landscaped gardens in a retirement community
+ Although the holes are short, there's a substantial variety: tight throws through trees, a few wide open shots, a hillside, a large pond bordering one fairway. It's like riding the train at Disneyland: a 9-holer that's been built to smaller scale
+ Easy-to-follow loop. From the parking lot you can jump right on to #8 or #9 and play your way back to your car, in less than 20 minutes

Cons:
- Concrete in-ground tee markers can be a little tough to spot
Other Thoughts:
~ The perfect place to introduce newbies to the game
~ One of the few courses I've played where the scorecard box actually has scorecards in it. As a bonus, the scorecard features different pars for differing levels of player (par = 32 for Beginner/Novice, 23 for Experienced - so that's four par 2's for you hotshots).
~ Perfect place to carry one disc (your throwing putter) and really learn how to shape your shots (high. low, wind, straight, hyzer, anhyzer, etc.)
~ In my way of rating, it's too short a course to be given anything higher than a 3 - but it's about as good as "little 9" can be

Cons:
No benches (I'm not even a senior yet, yet I was looking for a place to sit down).
grass tees. (No biggie, but cement would be sweet)
Innova baskets (chains rusting).

Other Thoughts:
It's nice to see a DGC set up for our senior citizens as Disc Golf is an inexpensive activity that will keep you in shape both MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY (very important as one ages). I'd like to see more DGC at Senior citizen centers and although Messiah is a private DGC, there's no reason why they're can't be more Senior citizens DGC being put into the ground. Thanks for all who are involved with this endevor.
