Nice stop. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 17, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very nice little 9 hole course. I enjoyed the round, and would happily stop in for another quick 9 holes.

Tees. Concrete tee pads with very nice signs diagramming each hole.

Baskets. Nice Chainstar baskets, all in good shape.

Amenities. Nice park, ample parking, map at the start with hole distances, plays around a convenience store, so you could stop in for a soda after hole 5.

Variety. I used a decent variety of shots and discs, though most holes had straightforward lines, there was enough obstacles to keep it interesting, my favorite being hole 9 a "tunnel" variety shot with small trees lining both sides of the fairway.

Ace/Birdie opportunities. Each basket was reachable in one, they weren't gimme birdies, but the opportunity is there.

Not crowded. I played on a Tuesday evening and didn't see a single other person.

Navigation. The map provided at the beginning, huge signs marking the tees, and intuitive flow made this an easy course to play as a first timer.

Cons:

Short. A couple holes were approaching 300 feet, most were around 200 or so.

Finding the course. The course info page said at the intersection of 69 and main, the parking lot is actually south of that on the other side of the buildings, Google maps shows this course on the other side of the river, which was not true at all, I had to drive around a bit to find the course.

Other Thoughts:

Very nice 9 hole detour, I would recommend it if passing through the area, stop in for a quick 9, or play a few rounds, it would be rather worthwhile. I wouldn't go too far out of my way for this one though.
