An Improving Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice mix of long holes and technical holes.
Nice incorporation of existing water hazards and woods.
Long pads on most holes and novice tees on all.
The course is much better maintained and easier to navigate than before.

Cons:

Holes 10-16 in the woods are very soggy in the wet months.
Not all holes have long pads.
No alternate basket positions.
More signage is needed to help direct newcomers.

Other Thoughts:

While the new layout is still challenging for most players, moving the baskets from across the railroad tracks has made this course much friendlier and inviting. Much work has been done by the club to improve and maintain the course the last few years and it shows. The city park and recreation department has become much more involved in upkeep which is a great help. Someone who hasn't visited this course in a few years will be pleasantly surprised and pleased with what they find. It's a really fun and challenging course.

Nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The choice of holes is really diverse. I also liked the use of what little elevation there is (several uphill putts so be careful).

Cons:

Much of the course has grass tee pads and i an not a big fan of grass tee pads. The course is also rather wet so make sure you wear waterproof shoes.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a really good course but could be so much better. The local club does what is can but the Amory parks and rec department should step up and help out and realize what a gem they have.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 15, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course is very well take care of by the local club.

Lot of shot variety. First few holes are more rip and grip style moving on into the woods you have trees to deal with and accuracy comes into play.

Concrete tee pads on half the holes with correct distances. Other holes will be eventually concreted.

Bathrooms are near the playground by hole #1.

Tee arrows for guiding you in the right direction for you out of towners.

Cons:

The newer holes down the railroad tracks on the backside teeing off area is extremely muddy if it's rained lately, also these holes need to be played more to get a path and cleared out better. So go play it!

Other Thoughts:

The local club says it should be at best by the end of Summer 09. This course is one of my top favorites! I will try to keep this course review up to date.

They aren't very many gimme birdie holes at all. This course can be very unforgiving. A few of the holes have OB either it be a road or a creek.

Everything from grip it and rip it to slow and steady roc shots.

Some holes have a pro pad which makes it extra tough mainly distance for you long arms.

Hole # 5, "The Dragon's back" , hole has 2 elevated hills with the basket on the 2nd hill. Lay up on it or risk going for that duece and chance taking a 4 or 5!

I have seen a lot of good players get ate up by this course.

The majority of players who play this course shoot up on it...so go for par and take a birdie when you see one :)

If you are in the area and looking for a challenge it is definitely worth stopping by and playing.
