Worth it for Hole 8 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 5, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Nice Baskets
- Tee Signs
- Nice mix of short & long(medium for big arms) holes
- Good use of trees for added challenge

Cons:

- Short tee pads
- Lots of cross over between holes
- Hole 1 & 2 are really close to a playground and gazebo
- Big course split between #4 & #5

Other Thoughts:

It is overall a fun course that I play when I'm passing threw the area. As others have mentioned hole #8 is extremely fun. I would rank it as one of the top holes in the region.

Worthwhile if you live in Rexburg 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 26, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Double chain baskets w/ chains tethered to center pole.
Well manicured park.
A couple of "grip it and rip it" holes.

Cons:

Busy city park when the weather is nice.
A lot of college kids who don't follow the rules/courtesies of the game.
Tee boxes are very small
A LOT of intersecting fairways/holes.

Other Thoughts:

If you're within 10min of the park, it's worth playing, but not worth seeking out IMO due to the cons listed above.

Criss Cross Toss 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

• Nice park with mature trees.
• I loved #8. I played it twice and wished I had time to play it a few more times. You have to tee over a pond onto a small peninsula on the other side. The basket is tucked into the trees on the back side of the peninsula.
• Good use of the park's natural features to create some challenging obstacles.
• I also like #4. It's a 460' Par 4 that has a small OB canal running parallel to the fairway on the left.
• Hole lengths range from 205' to 460'

Cons:

• Holes 1 and 2 play close to a playground.
• Only slight elevation change.
• No "Next Tee" signs.
• Short tee pads, especially #8. There is a tree directly behind tee 8 that won't allow a run-up. It's not a long drive, but I still teed from the side so I could have some more room.
• By FAR the biggest "Cons" are the multiple crossing fairways. 2 and 3 cross and 6, 7, and 9 cross (see map). I've never seen 3 fairways that cross like 6, 7, and 9 do. It's a good thing nobody else was playing the day I went or someone would have been waiting. I don't see how you could ever play a tournament here. A busy Saturday or Holiday could get ugly.

Other Thoughts:

I was in town for a conference and had to squeeze in a round on my lunch break. I wish I would have had time for 2-3 rounds. There is a pretty good variety of holes for a small city park. If this course was in my neighborhood, I'd be pretty happy.

The local club should really consider a redesign of holes 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9. The crossover is a real hazard. I think a more traditional "zigzag" or "down and back' layout could be done here. If I'm ever in Rexburg again, I'll play another round.

Nice. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 2, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

All signage and concrete tee pads installed now.
Less dinky course now.
Normal baskets finally.

Cons:

Tee pads small.
Intersecting fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Although, the intersecting fairways thing.. It had intersecting fairways before too. It's a tiny park, and cramming nine holes in will necessitate crossing paths. I think the upgrade is an overall win. The old course lacked signage, so people played holes in random order, exacerbating the problem of running into other groups, so I don't think we can complain about running into groups now being a problem. I think I'll end up liking this course well. And the over-water shot is cool. My 10-year-old did just fine with it. (Of course, he's not a novice.)
