Once probably truly pleasant, now unplayable drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

You are so far away from all the other park amenities you have no concerns about ever needing to worry about hitting a biker or jogger or kid playing or anything else from the civilized world.

The signage is excellent, which it needs to be, as the links are so spread out.

Cons:

There may have been a time when these fairways adhered to the guidelines, but lack of maintenance has put those days well into the past. If you're willing to brave the poison ivy & mud, you will find the short tees largely embarrassing but the long tees largely unplayable.

Other Thoughts:

Two or three solid work weekends by the local community & this could be a great course for daily practice rounds. As it stands, the baskets really should be recovered & put to better use somewhere else.
Given the number of ball golf courses nearby, why aren't there formal courses at these country clubs with dress codes, tee times, greens fees & all the rest? Have seen this work brilliantly in other places & it ensures playable courses.

Needs Upkeep 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Hardly anyone ever on this course allowing you to practice shots and diffrent discs. It is a quick course to play. Good for beginners

Cons:

There is a long walk down 8 mile road to get to hole 2. The upkeep is terrible here. Trees fallen everywhere and the grass is hardly ever mowed. Many snakes on this course. Bridge on last half of course is washed out and navigating it is a mess.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great beginner course to learn how to throw, or if you are looking for a quick, quiet game.

Hello? Anyone out there? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 5, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Chainstar baskets
- 8 of 9 tee signs intact and nice
- Has map online and at msg. board
- Dual tees
- Water hazards (lots)
- Good basic design on several holes

Cons:

- Unmaintained, appears like no one else has played it in years and the city forget it's there. Fallen trees block several fairways and overgrown rough makes it tough to throw let alone have fun.
- You will get cut if you go off fairway on #5.
- Dirt tees only
