Like playing in a garden. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 6, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Cement tee pads that are easy to find
- Holes force you to use many different throws to get around obstacles on the course.
- A number of blind holes which add some difficulty to an otherwise short and easy course.
- Course seems well-kept and clean. It is a nice small park with flowers and well manicured trees.

Cons:

- The tees are just painted squares on the paths, however, the park seems barely used (there was no one there when i played), so there shouldn't be any problem with people.
- The baskets tend to be rather close to the tees of the next hole, but as I said before, the park is barely busy, so you shouldn't have any problems.
- The tee signs for holes 1, 8, and 9 are missing.
- Some fairways interfere with eachother, but again, the park is rarely busy.

Other Thoughts:

Over all, the course is your run-of-the-mill short 9-holer that has been fit into an existing park. The person who designed it did seem to know what he was doing, however. You are forced to utilize a number of different throws throughout the course in order to get around or over the trees that block your way. There are also a number of blind shots that add some difficulty. There are plenty of birdie opportunities and one really good ace run (hole 4, 64'). There is a very slight water hazard, which is a small pond on the last 2 holes and a very small stream that flows through the park, though there wasn't any water in it when i played. All in all, I enjoyed playing this course. It was one of the better short courses I've played, thanks to the way it was designed. It is a good course for beginners as well; it forces controlled throws but isn't too long for beginners.

Small town+small course=beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 6, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is a small course in a city park area of the town of Minden. Easy parking right next to the first tee. The teepads share the sidewalk that goes throughout the park. Short holes that an experienced player only needs a putter to play. Though the holes short, there are just enough trees on the course that are used in such a way that makes you think what type of shot you need to throw. Birdies are just there for the taking, as well as some aces. The park itself is very clean, well taken care of and has various types of trees, plants and flowers about as well as a small pond.

Cons:

This is a small course that is great for beginners, seasoned players may quickly get bored. Single pin placement. It wasn't busy when I played on a friday afternoon, but I could see how this course would be very difficult if there were anyone else there. Signs were missing on hole one and nine.

Other Thoughts:

A great course for beginners to learn the game on. The holes are short, yet there is a bit of a challenge from the rolling hills and trees on the course. A very nice park setting that would be a great place to take yonger players to as well.
