St. Louis Review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 3, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained park/course located in a nice city park. The flow of the course is solid and there are plenty of trashcans and restrooms along the way.

There are a decent variety of holes in general along with a few elevation shots. Tee signs (which makes navigation that much easier) and concrete pads are on every hole and the baskets are all in good condition (2 pin positions per hole).

There are no holes that really go into any wooded areas. Just mostly well positioned trees, a little bit of out-of- bounds, variety in elevation, and some tough greens make this course a reasonable challenge especially for beginner to intermediate level players (but can still be enjoyed by all skill levels). The course can be played within 1.5-2.25 hours easily. Adding some additional players may lengthen this time frame.

There is also a practice basket located near the parking lot and I want to point out how friendly the folks were in Perryvile. I met some very nice people at this park.

Cons:

One thing I can see that this course may have issues with is when there are a lot of baseball games being played. While I was there, no baseball was being played at all. In the heart of the summer, I can see this changing. There are some hole locations and tee pads that are a little close to baseball fields; especially bleachers, benches, and bullpens.

The one other minor thing with this course is the vast majority of holes are within the 225-350 range there is I think 1 or 2 that gets close to 400'. Which is OK, given the amount space. It would be nice to see a few more either bomber holes, or even some more technical holes (but that is just my opinion).

I am glad to see 18 tee pads out here. I play some courses that do no have any, so something is always better than nothing. But, the tee pads aren't all that long. Even someone with a medium run up will start on the grass. But, like I said, at least they are there, and that is something.

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoyed my round at this course. If I am in the area, I could see myself playing this course again. I could also see how this would be a great course to teach someone how to play, as the course is not overwhelming by any means.

I also thought the course was well kept. I noticed plenty of trashcans and restrooms. The park is a multi-use park, so please be kind to others. The people I ran into were all extremely nice to me and I let them know I was from out of town.

Hope this review helps! Have fun and stay safe out there!

Clean, Enjoyable, Great for the Area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 28, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This new course makes good use of the empty spaces in a well established park. The layout includes concrete tees, excellent signage, and Discatcher baskets, all in new condition. Getting from one basket to the next tee might have been confusing but for the explicit directional information provided wherever needed.

It's great that they found a way to put 18 holes here rather than stopping at 9 or 12 as they might have, but there are some long hikes between a few holes.

Parking is plentiful as are restrooms.

Although there are lots of roads running through this park, the course, thankfully, does not play over them.

The layout is wide open, so you're unlikely to lose any plastic here.

Cons:

Because this course makes use of an old park packed with ball fields, playgrounds, walking paths and picnic areas, it may get quite busy at times. I played at dawn on a frosty morning and had the place to myself, but beware of the traffic on a nice afternoon.

The holes average about 300 feet, which is a little outside my range, so I didn't have many birdie chances, but pars were relatively easy. Any bogies carded were the fault of the player, not the course. Those with stronger arms will likely score quite well. There is no rough, just wide-open, mowed parkland, so accuracy off the tee is not all that essential. In only a couple places will you have to worry about hitting an early tree from the tee.

Every hole is pretty much a straight shot from tee to basket. The trees that do come into play are, for the most part, widely spaced and mature, leaving plenty of room to maneuver. The course has minor elevation changes, rambling uphill here and downhill there, but there's nothing that adds any real stress. (I would describe this course as mostly flat rather than moderately hilly.)

Most of the baskets are in wide-open spaces, so putting is pretty simple once you're close. There are a couple exceptions, notably hole #18 which is perched atop a bank at the end of a ravine and guarded by trees.

Other Thoughts:

I generally would prefer a course that's a little more challenging, but this layout is perfect fit for the town, especially since there's nowhere else to play for miles around. This course won't frustrate newbies or family groups and is decent for more experienced players. I'm in town often to visit relatives and it will be great not to have to drive 30 miles to play a round. I wouldn't go out of my way to play here if there were other opportunities, but the course is clean, well maintained, and a good fit for the community. I'll be back for another round on my next visit.

Solid city park style course but nothing special 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. concrete tees

2. signs with pars and feet

3. signs for next tee by the baskets

4. well maintained

5. decent variety

6. friiendly people

7. alot of bathrooms

Cons:

1. short

2. too open in parts

3. a few boring holes

4. too much walking from last basket to next tee

Other Thoughts:

This is not a bad course by any means but its also not anything to write home about hence the decent/typical grade. Its about as standard of a city park course as your going to find. It certainly has its bright spots and the park is pretty good. 4 or 5 holes could easily be tweeked to make it better but the open holes have trees planted that could improve it as well in a few years. It's not the best but if I lived in Perryville Id be happy with what they have done and pleased in general. I wouldnt drive more than an hr away to play though.
