4 baskets is better than none. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 9, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is a lot of open space to air out long shots. DISCatchers are top of the line and in good condition.They also have flags on top to show wind strength/direction. There is mulch around the baskets and the tees, so mud shouldn't ever really be a problem. Large black and white striped poles mark the tees. The poles plus the mowed paths basically make it impossible to get lost. All in all, it's good infrastructure for a practice area.

Some minor elevation is in play; hole 3 has a bank deep left of the basket, making it tricky to approach with a forehand, and hole 4 is a fun, downhill shot.

Cons:

There are only 4 holes, and they are quite boring as there is not a single tree or obstacle in play. Then, once you finish hole 4, you have a 10 minute walk back to your car.

Only about a 10 ft path is mowed, so there's basically no point in trying to land in the "fairway." The "rough" was mowed to low-shin height when I played in December, but if they let it grow out much more, then discs could become harder to find.

The pole for 4's tee was either missing or not put up - not sure which.

Other Thoughts:

If you have 300 ft of power, then holes 3 & 4 will be birdie chances; holes 1 & 2 will not be.

Are you looking for a place to do fieldwork or practice putting?
Are you a course bagger?
If you answered yes to either of those questions, then this is the place for you! Otherwise, go play somewhere else. Literally, you will have more fun at almost any other course in town.

There's enough empty space that you can practice drives/do fieldwork without even being on the "course."

The parking lot is gated, so I don't think the general public is technically supposed to play here. If you're just playing it to add the the list, I wouldn't worry too much about, you'll be in and out quickly (the gates were open with no one on duty when I played on a weekday afternoon).
