North Baltimore is a sleepy little village in rural Northwest Ohio. The village park provided a space for a relaxing round, but the course itself is lacking in several areas.

+ Starting with the positives, beginners will have an easy time playing here. Every hole is pretty much wide open and flat with generous pars.

+ There is an old-school tee sign marking the beginning of every hole. These have a simple hole map, distance, and par.

+ #3 is actually a pretty fun hole. Longer throwers will have the option for a water carry, with a high risk-reward factor depending on how much water you decide to throw over. Beginners can take the route around the lake, but will have a few trees to contend with along the way.

+ It was a 78° Saturday afternoon, and I was the only one in the entire park. It makes me think that you should have at least the course to yourself most days, and maybe even the park.

- Nearly every basket was leaning a little bit. There were a couple that I was able to prop up, but I'm sure that was a very temporary fix.

- With very isolated tree coverage and basically no elevation, this course will get boring fast.

- The design isn't great. Multiple fairways cross each other, and a few walks between holes pretty much go up the entire fairway of the previous hole.

- There are no designated tees other than the signs that are posted.

North Baltimore Village Park is a decent little place to practice and maybe bring a pure beginner. Otherwise, you'll sleep at night being able to skip this one.
