Pros:
- A great place to work on your short game. Plenty of trees will force you to have accurate drives as well as putts.
- This course is birdie friendly
- Nice little park.
Cons:
- This park is a pain in the butt to find if you are from out of town. While a number of bike trails enter and exit the park, only one road actually gets you in. This road isn't marked and it kind of looks like an access road from the main street. There is a Shorewood Park sign, but it isn't facing you on the main street, so you may not see it. Almost didn't play this course because of iffy directions.
- The park is small, and it's kind of amazing they put 18 holes on it. Because of this, there is some confusion as to which hole you are throwing to, and also problems with other players being in the way.
- Also a product of it being a small park, sometimes had difficulty finding the next tee. With so many tees so close together, it sometimes took a little walking around to find the next box.
Other Thoughts:
The course itself was okay. It isn't one to challenge the more advanced players, but if you're from out of town, it will challenge your navigational skills. For those who live around the park and play it on a regular basis, most of what I said probably doesn't apply, but if you're from out of town, I suggest using Google Maps to figure out how to get in.
Happy Golfing!
