Adult Course At The Pomolita Middle School! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 21, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course at Pomolita Middle School starts beside the school and plays down to the old tennis courts, then around the track and over the little walking bridge, around the ball fields, before returning and playing up the hill and then finishing at the corner of the school to a basket hidden under a bush.

At the start is a nice large, yellow course sign with map. The baskets are Discatchers and some holes have concrete tee pads. The tee signs I noticed were large, colorful and gave the distance in both feet and yards. There are also next tees signs at strategic spots on the course including a cool double sided one on the other side of the bridge.

The course features some great holes (# 1), some really terrible holes (# 2) and others that you make have to skip depending on track activities or middle schoolers hanging around. I played shortly after school let out and skipped # 2 due to it's impossibly tightness, # 3 due to girls practicing soccer and # 9 due to young middle school hanging out in my way.

# 1 is a great starting hole throwing downhill to a basket 225' with lots of trees in your way. # 8 is a fun uphill throw to a basket guarded by about a dozen trees and if I could've played # 9, I think a skip off the pavement would be your choice of throw.

Cons:

# 2 is ridiculously tight playing down a 4 foot wide corridor with brush on the your right. To give someone the benefit of doubt, that brush has maybe encroached on the course since it was built.

# 3 and # 9 both, might have to be skipped due to activities.

The course is too spread out to ever be used for PE classes. No PE teacher in his right mind would ever allow his class to be unsupervised and so out of sight

Other Thoughts:

After playing # 1, I had high hopes for this course. By the time I had finished, I was left feeling pretty unsatisfied. It has it's strengths but I'm afraid, the weaknesses overshadow all else. As a former middle school PE teacher of four years (and those were the worst four years of my career) I can state unequivocally that this course would never be used for Phys Ed classes. But with that being said, if you can play it when there are not students or athletics going on, it can be a pedestrian round for the local disc golfer looking for a quick easy round.
