Worth playing if passing through or near town 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great park; I grew up in Columbus as a kid (well before the course was put in) and I had forgotten how nice Pawnee Park was. It almost has a state park feel. Great trees. Well-maintained. Nice, long distances on most holes with the trees providing adequate obstacles. Nice baskets. Nice concrete tees. Nice facilities close by, including a nice hike/bike trail, shelters, rest rooms, trash cans, etc. Convenient location on the south edge of town off Highway 30.

Cons:

Flat; elevation changes could adequately be reported in centimeters. Pretty much just straight shots.

Other Thoughts:

The evening that I played this course, it was unusually warm, calm, and pleasant. The sun was just starting to go down. The colorful leaves stayed late on the trees this year, but quite a few had fallen already. Everything was nearly perfect. I had a 4 - 1/2 star experience on a fairly typical course. That is every bit as good as playing a nearly-perfect course in bad weather. If you are traveling through the area, the course is definitely worth playing at least once in your lifetime, especially if you find yourself in the same favorable conditions I was fortunate enough to experience.

Nice and easy 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 17, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained, fairly new course I'd guess. Easy to find your way around. Great course for people just starting out or if you want to feel good about your game.....

Cons:

Not a very challenging course. Most holes right around 300', a couple shorter, 1 longer but really no trouble to speak of and not much need to be creative with shots.

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice course but its not much more than a walk in a park with a disc. It happened to be right next to my hotel here so I played it. Wouldn't make it a destination.

Fun starter course 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Very easy course to play. Great course for beginners and kids to play on. This is a new course, so the baskets, tee signs and tees are in great shape. There are restrooms available at the park. Huge, mature trees make for good obstacles. The park is small and you are never far from the parking lot. The park is well taken care of, losing discs shouldn't be a problem.

Cons:

Course will be too easy for advanced players on up, but it can serve as great practice for your short game. There isn't much variety as far as shots go, most holes are straight ahead. If you have a bad shot, it is still easy to get your three. There are only one set of tees, and some baskets are located very close to the next tee pad.

Other Thoughts:

While this course isn't challenging, it is still a fun round of golf. As previously stated, it would be a great course to take beginners and kids too, and it makes for great short game practice. An additional set of tee pads for more advanced players would make this course much better. I wouldn't make a long trip just to play this course, but if you are nearby it is definitely worth a play.
