Moore Is Less 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

(1.044 Rating) A beginner friendly niner too short and easy for even your typical recreational player.
- FAMILY FRIENDLY - You can bring the kids to this one. Eight of the nine holes are less than 200 feet long. Losing a disc here means it was likely left by accident. I shot 7 down and came away dissatisfied.
- BASICS AMENITIES - Prodigy baskets mostly in good condition. Basket (4) was leaning a bit. As for the tee signs, adequate for a shorty layout such as this one. The signs have accurate distances, a hole number and info on the perils of smoking. Tees are concrete, but small.
- QUICK PLAY - I bagged it solo in 13 minutes.

Cons:

A severe lack of complexity.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - This one was likely designed and built for use of the adjacent school, so I get why there's not an amped up challenge here. I started 5 down thru 5 holes, but got lazy and left one forty feet short on the next hole. Even par would likely equate to a sub 800 rated round.
- HOLE VARIETY - To any veteran player of the game, the gameplay here will be bland. Every hole could be played with a putter. I personally regret pulling out the entire bag and slogging it around for the few minutes I was here.
- SPACING - The course is also jammed into a small area. Baskets for other holes are constantly seen. Junior players will no doubt throw them into other fairways.
- NATURAL BEAUTY & MAINTENANCE - The fairway grass was above my ankles on my play. Some branches were on the ground and I saw a little bit of trash too. Overall, the beauty in this small park was well below average. Easily in my bottom quartile for this category.

Other Thoughts:

This is the second junior course I've played in Knoxville, with the other being Inskip. This junior course, imo, is far inferior to Inskip. Sarah Moore has smaller tees, less appealing tee signs, less interesting terrain and less complexity. The only thing of substance that I found better at Sarah Moore over Inskip was the baskets. Overall, it's passable for Beginners, school kids and families. Definitely not worth traveling to, unless you are a half mile away or a course bagger.
