Better Then Nothing... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 23, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I appreciate the effort that it takes to get a course built, so I want to thank the folks that accomplished this. That being said, this is in no way, shape, or form a 3+ rated course.

The baskets are simple single-chain models, but they catch fine. The tee signs give basic hole number, distance, and par.

There are embedded timbers marking the front of the teepads, with the pads themselves being scuffed out spots on the ground.

The first two holes play across the lush green lawn area next to the parking lot, while the remaining holes play in an area along the river. There is a short "bluff" that is used for elevation on holes 7 and 9, otherwise things are pretty flat.

If you approach this as a par 2 pitch and putt course you'll be in the correct frame of mind for playing it.

Cons:

The course is built into a small area and is incredibly short. All but two of the holes are less than 180 feet, with three in the 120 foot range. I've played short courses like this that were interesting because trees were utilized to force you to shape lines, but there are no trees on this course so everything is an open shot..

Holes 3 - 9 play in a rough area that is made up of prickly plants, little cactus, some dumped material, and brush piles. Although you are playing next to the river there is nothing pleasant about this part of the course. It is just dirty and gritty.

There is a brush pile in front of the Hole 5 tee pad, and another directly in front of the Hole 5 basket. They add a bit of challenge but it just seems random that they are there.

Other Thoughts:

If you are in the area, by all means bag this course. You can play it in about 20 minutes the first time, and about 15 minutes after that. But it isn't worth a special trip.
