Updated Tee Pads on a Short, Technical Course

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 22, 2022 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well-maintained course that is often dry when others are super wet. Forested holes are kept clear and tree falls and stumps are either cleared or arranged to add complexity. Copious trash cans and neighborhood pride mean this course stays cleaner than most.

Cons:

Many holes are short--under 200' and some tee signs may overestimate pin distance. Parking is disorganized around first tee.

Other Thoughts:

There are many ace possibilities on the course, which features a mix of wooded and more open holes. Tight gaps add challenge to wooded holes, and foot traffic through the public park typically is not a problem. All but one tee (#2) has been updated to concrete. The walk from #14 to #15 is a little longer to get to the last few holes. Small hills through the park add interest to some shots.

Nice Little Recreational Course drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 25, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is an updated review now that there are 18 holes....

- Nice mix of park golf and woods golf...though no holes are over 300 feet, you still have some technical lines...
- You can play a solo round in under an hour...
- Now has concrete tees...
- Quite a dry course when others are sloppy...
- Convenience store a block away...

Cons:

- No bathroom other than a port-o-potty almost all the time...
- A few tough tee finds if you don't have a map (especially #14 basket to #15 tee)

Other Thoughts:

Nothing spectacular about this short course in a small park but it is a very good par 3 course...

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 3, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Short simple course great for beginners and first timers.
-Actually can be played as an 18 hole course as well. Head back from tee shooting at basket 9, plays front course backwards basket wise from second set of tees.

-Plenty of potential for aces

Cons:

-The course runs through a public park. Unfortunately some people are oblivious whether they be at picnic tables off of the fairway or walking their dog towards a basket.
-Theres the potential to play an 18 but with only nine baskets in the park there is a potential for a jam up on playing the same hole as someone coming from the opposite direction.
-Dirt Teepads, I'm usual indifferent about teepads but there are a few tees that are clogged up with tree roots.
-No directional signs between holes/course map posted.

Other Thoughts:

It's a small course in a small park. It's also the first course I learned to play on. It may not be ideal but it's always good for a quick 9 or 18 depending on how busy it is that day. I truly enjoy it and wish I knew who I could talk to so improvements could be made.

Good for prcatice and the young set 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quiet park with newer DISCatcher baskets. Enough trees to give you a little challenge. Older trees create some great shade for a hot summer day's play.

Cons:

No par(s) on any of the holes. I did some rough measuring and the holes varied from about 150 ft up to about 280 ft. I hope some comes out with a wheel and gets some better measurements.

Other Thoughts:

The course has been recently been "signed" to make the holes a bit better. You'll find the #1 "tee/pole" near the corner of Schenck and Fassett (NE corner of the park). When you get to the 1st basket the "tee/pole" for hole #2 will be very close by. The holes aren't so far apart that you need a map, but it would be helpful. Just look for Basket #2, it will be labeled and you can see it from the "tee/pole".
