Cruddy 9er Purgatory: The Lutheran Take On Things 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Provided by St. Paul Lutheran's church, this small pitch n' putt, beginner-level 9-hole course plays through a small flat open lawn, as well as along a deep stream and into a small section of woods.
- Tee signs show hole number and distance, provide a map of the hole and next tee location, and give little bits of scripture upon which to meditate. Pretty sure one mentioned something about Jesus and a Roc...though I could be confused.
- Fresh baskets and reasonable turf pads.
- The wooded holes are fine enough putter holes, but some are so short as to be laughable (hole #6 clocks in a lengthy 116'). The flat open grassy area is boring, predictable, and the same as 900 million thousand other flat open grassy park style beginner pitch and putts; it makes one wonder, if the Lutherans believe in Purgatory, because the open holes here would make a strong case for such a plane of existence.

Cons:

- Michigan in summer near woods and water equals bugs and poison ivy. It's a fact of life, but both are a little worse here than many places, in the realm of "bring the kiddo along for the round." Definitely a detraction from "family/beginner/kid friendly." Ditto on the river and metal wire fence to the right hand side of hole #'s 1, 2, & 5.
- So short that most obstacles do not come into play from a meaningful score separation aspect, even for beginners.

Other Thoughts:

- Bag and proceed.
- The playgrounds are nice for lil' ones.
- Park in lot across from Pizza Hut * and NOT in the lot at the front of the church/school.*
- Hole #1 is across the small lawn area.
- Kiddo's 1st Review: (She's 3 years old this w/e) Course: "Can we play on playground?"
Playground: "Five-discs!"
