For the newbs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Navigation is not difficult (but I couldn't locate the 8th or 9th baskets, let alone tees)

Very easy beginner-level course. Every hole is ace-able for experienced players.

Nice location in a quiet neighborhood.

Cons:

Tees are 2x4's embedde in the ground - look for worn, bare spots.

The walk from 3rd basket to 4th tee is logical, but not obvious.

Only the 5th hole brings any obstacles into play - It's a blind hole with guard trees.

If there were 2 more holes here previously, there is no sign of them now.

Other Thoughts:

Only the 5th hole requires any shot-making, even though the streets and hockey rinks simulate narrow approach lanes

My GF (a very novice player with a short arm) really enjoyed this course; I was not challenged by any hole although I found the trees on 5 twice.

Screw Waldo; Where’s the 2x4’s? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 29, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has 9 holes that play around the school. The course has a couple of trees involved and some OB. The hole length variation is not that bad for a small course. The baskets are in great shape. Parking is easy in the summer time and the neighborhood is nice. OK, I'm sorry, but that is all I got for the positives.

Cons:

Navigation is a little tough, but certainly works clockwise around the school. So, any hole you start at will get you back there. The first hole is near the middle of the parking lot shooting toward where the fences get close together. The tee box is marked by an old 2x4 in the ground. Some of the tee areas were not in the best of shape either. The next pad is not always close to the basket before them; you really need to be close to spot the 2x4, so keep looking. If it is not summer time, you are bound to have to wait and may not even be able to play many of these holes with the kids here. In the summer, there are still kids playing all over, but it is not that bad. Much of the grass needed mowing on hole 1. The fence on hole 1 is pointless and the placement of some of the holes along the city block's sidewalks seem a little out of place.

Other Thoughts:

There was no Fun Factor here. I didn't find one hole that I enjoyed playing. It is great that this little community has this course and that the public can play it. It is not worth the drive to come out and play it, but certainly not during the school year.
