Reviewed: Played on:Oct 24, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Ace runs throughout
- Someone has spent lots of time with small signs for the tee #s and the next tee arrows. Note there is no traditional tee sign but they aren't needed. I don't need to know if this one is 155' or 165'.
- A good place for a putter only round (i ran through throwing 2 putters to get a quick 18 in).
- Virtually no chance of lost discs
- Course does a pretty good job avoiding playgrounds & side walks for such a small park.
- A nice easy course to bring a true beginner to.

Cons:

- Very short (<200' avg) and not much challenge

Other Thoughts:

- There were signs for a second set of tees for 10-18 playing to the same baskets. I didn't have the time to try them so I can't comment on quality. This could be a pro if done well....or a con if not...especially if there were multiple groups playing it could get messy.
- I played mid day during a school day so the park was almost completely empty. I'd imagine during peak times there could be a lot of activity to avoid throughout the park.
- Overall - this course is executed well for what it was intended - just be sure you view it for what it is - a short, easy 9. Looking to have a ton of ace runs, great. Looking to get a beginner out for a fun time, great. Want a challenging day of DG....not so much.

Whats going on here? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is 5 minutes drive from my home. It is a great course to practice mid range and putter shots, the inexperienced can throw drivers. The elevation of the park lends it self to be much more dry than other parks at the same time of year. I suggest any beginners or players looking to practice their short game to come play here.

Cons:

I am not sure what is going on with trying to turn this park into an 18 hole course. Most holes have overlapping fairways. Also using the same 9 baskets for a "back 9" makes no sense. There are two different groups of people placing signage to designate where the tee boxes are which also is confusing. One has you playing against the grain (using basket 9 as the basket for "hole 10" and so forth). Then there are spots for blue tees? What the hell? This park is far too small and "homey" feeling to be going this way.

Other Thoughts:

Great park to practice. Some people who play here are rude, while others are very friendly. There is also usually a great deal of children and dog walkers, as well as neighborhood kids all over the park.
