A Fallen Hero - well, fallen at least

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 5, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

A decent piece of property whose course has substantially faded back into nature.

-Property: While not stunning, this property has all it takes to put together a great 9er. In fact, it looks like it once housed a sensible circuit of 9 holes that might have been quite good. A mix of manicured grass and shrubbery, there are sizable hills, occasional trees, and plenty of rollaway potential.

-Play Customization: The current layout (if you can call it that) is a riff on what would be 17 holes played forward then backward. The obstacles are ambiguous enough that you could create interesting safari holes. Or just play it in 9 as original. Ah, the joys of natural tees!

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: I found holes 2-4 very good. Throwing off a bluff, down hills, and up between low-hanging trees, these were quite enjoyable. Many of the other holes were alright as well, and the elevation is quite a factor whether approached head-on or merely as a disastrous side slope.

Cons:

-Disrepair: Out of presumably 18 original tee signs, there are only 3 remaining. No tees or markers. 3 of 9 baskets have broken trays, some on the ground. It appears the course infrastructure hasn't been touched for years. It's bad enough to doubt whether this should even be considered a course anymore.

-Trashy Back: the shrubbery areas at the back of the property are rough. Tall and prickly undergrowth interspersed, with trash and abandoned belongings, hardly make this a desirable section of the course.

-Disc Loss: Private property lines are within range on a couple of holes, especially with the wrong cross-wind.

Other Thoughts:

I don't have too much to say about the park. It has decent potential but is barely even a course anymore. I enjoyed some of the shots, especially at the beginning, but I could have just as easily safaried a better course. For that, I somewhat arbitrarily assign it a Poor rating

not worth playing unless you live in the neighborhood and you wanna practice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 16, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The "course" is layed out in an otherwise unused portion of the park so there's nobody else around. There are 7 nice baskets to throw at. If you need to practice in the wind, this is the place.

Cons:

No teepads and the teesigns are crappy at best and several are gone making navigation next to impossible. At least 2 of the baskets are gone. #2 and #9. Since all the baskets are used twice, this eliminates 4 holes. Many of the "teepads" are right next to baskets but since nobody plays here its not a big deal. The layout is very open. I think there are 4 trees to contend with so not very challenging. Besides weekly mowing of tge grass section, nobodys keeping up on maintenance and the course is in disrepair.

Other Thoughts:

This course was put in as an afterthought. It works for practice if you live close but its not playable as an actual course so don't go out of your way.
