Phenomenally Fun

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 18, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Hilly terrain is the name of the game at Pamperin Park DGC. Cross over the Bridge to find #1's tee to the right. Nice large concrete launching pads await at each hole's tee. Good signage and fine baskets. The flow is a little cramped in a few spots but otherwise makes sense and gets the most out of the available land.
- And ho boy does that land offer a lot of ups and downs, with fast greens, punishing roughs, narrow windows to hit, uphill challenges, and even water. Don't be fooled by the listed distances. Some places (e.g., hole #'s 12 & 15) have longer pins as well to up the challenge factor. Hole #15's longer pin looks to create an island green with Drop Zone marked at the edge of the wooden fencing that denotes the island's perimeter. But mostly it's the uphill and heavily wooded nature of several holes that adds to perceived distances.
- The elevation here is *mwwahh* just tasty. The course works its way back and forth and up and down from forested to open and sloped to flat ground. Variety and balance is above average.
- Water to both sides of 11 make it sort of a peninsula shot. 15's long basket has water behind as well.
- Many holes are birdies...provide you hit your window off the tee. Punishment is fair. Schule is minimal but the designers did a great job of providing windows to hit. Miss the given window and you could be in a tough position to recover due to a poor angle. Hole #'s 5, 7 & 8 all offer this sort of uphill, punch it through the gap or else, style.

Cons:

- A few kinda long walks between hole #'s 11-12, and 15-16. Also, hole #18 is kinda tucked away at the end a bit hidden, walk past 8's basket back into the woods.
- Not a con for me personally, but this course is a bit of a hike and may not be exactly cart friendly, if that's your thang.
- A few scraps of metal junk buried in the fairway on I think it was hole # 11. Barbed wire to the left off #12's fairway.

Other Thoughts:

- A lot of work has gone in here, with recent mulching making the course look and play really well. Pamperin is a really fun, really challenging, really cool course. Lots of fast greens, beautiful vistas, and a good workout.
- I highly recommend you stop by and add Pamperin to your played list, official Juke Seal of Approval. TM
