Great Little Pitch/Putt Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 28, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

**I'm reviewing this as a pitch/putt or practice course.**

-Very scenic set around a nice pond fountain. Nicely maintained park along a nice cluster of neighborhoods.
-Tees and baskets fairly well maintained.
-Usually pretty desserted.
-Very easy course great for beginners to practice the basics or for intermediate to amateur players to fine tune their short game.
-Although it is part of a community park, it's pretty well removed from the trail and the rest of the park.
-Close to where I live.

Cons:

-Not a full course. (Not necessarily a con for me, but it will be for some.)
-Pedestrian traffic picks up on nicer weekends with families picnicking and around 4-530 with kids walking home from school.
-The pond is deep enough you won't recover lost discs unless it's drained. Luckily only comes into play only like three holes.
-The course was established before an additional kid area was added to the pool, so hole 1 tees off directly over a fenced pool area. Usually it's closed off and not being used, but when it is probably best to play left of the teepad a few feet.
-Signs posted say the park is private for residents of the neiggboorhood only. But as a blonde haired white guy I've never had anybody say anything me. Although occasionally people sitting at benches or at the pool will watch me, curious about the sport. Some have asked me questions about how it's played or telling they had no idea what the baskets were.

Other Thoughts:

If you come expecting an actual course, you'll be pretty dissapointed. But if you don't have time to fit in a full round after work, or want some short putt/approach practice, then this course is perfect.

Not really a place to bring drinks out or anything.

Fun Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 16, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Really fun course with a couple shots over water and some ace runs as well.

Cons:

A little difficult to navigate, but large teebox rocks help tremendously. Watch out for the pool fence as it is OB, and hard to climb over for disc retrieval.
