A go0d neighborhood place to practice 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Five short but varied holes in a narrow park

+ Good baskets; tees are 4x4 strips buried at ground level

+ Hole #1 is an open shot down to a basket sheltered under a low tree. The rough on the right is pretty gnarly in the summer. Anything left of the walk on #1 is consider OB because of the playground

+ Hole #2 is a very narrow tunnel with think rough on the right, and a stream all along the left. Keep it low and straight

+ Hole #3 is a RH hyzer to a hidden basket left (around the corner and tight with the brush line)

+ Hole #4 is a bomber across an open field - let it rip

+ Hole #5 is a dogleg left, with the second half of the distance uphill. Throw a high hyzer over the trees if you've got the arm for it; otherwise, aim for the narrow path to get a clear upshot

Cons:

- No matter how you play the holes, you're going to have a long walk back to wherever you started. Some people suggest parking in the cul-de-sac near hole 5, and others suggest parking in the strip mall across the street from the first tee (that's what I did). Either way, the layout forces you to finish at the opposite end of where you start

- No signage

- The layout of several holes is right along the park's main walkway. You'll have to wait if there's any traffic - and you'll wait while they walk the entire length of the hole

- Couldn't fine the tee marker on Hole #5, but uDisc helped me approximate the location

Other Thoughts:

~ Not a destination course by any means, but not a bad place to practice different shots (if the park doesn't have a lot of traffic and you don't mind some extra walking). If you live close by, the big open field that holds #4 and #5 could be used for field work
