Decent, Short 9 Holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- multiple chances for aces, birdies
- makes good use of limited space
- park is well maintained (outside of missing basket)

Cons:

- pars are too generous, should easily shoot well under par
- missing basket on number 8, has been missing for quite a while
- short holes (some very short), no chance to really let loose. the one longer hole is listed as a way too generous par 5.

Other Thoughts:

This is funky little 9 hole course, with a lot of short holes. Know going in that there are no holes for bombing and a lot of the par 3's won't require a driver. It's a fun course to play if you're looking for a casual round and want to work on navigating lines around multiple trees or notching that first ace. I like it for something different.

As mentioned in other reviews - the basket for #8 is gone. We tee off on #8 and use the basket for #9, makes for kind of a cool hole, then walk down the fairway to #9 tee to play 9 as its designed. Might be an issue if it's busy, but it's usually not.

Good beginners course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 13, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Good parking
- Good tee signage (#7 sign needs to be reset in ground - leaning against nearby tree).
- Great baskets (look nearly brand new)
- Tee pads in good shape (just packed earth, not concrete)
- Well-kept, clean, mowed. Only saw piece of litter (plastic bottle, I threw it away).

Cons:

- Par ratings (per the signage) are much too conservative - perhaps correct for true beginners, but anyone playing for awhile is quite likely to shot below par on their first round here without ever needing to throw even a fairway driver.

Other Thoughts:

Good opportunity to work on short stuff on this course. There are no holes for letting it rip - it was never designed for that. Far from being a destination course, but worth stopping by to play.
