Tootleville. It is fun to read, fun to say and fun to play. There are 18 holes, and some of them are very good. The park has a nice blend from wide open to dense woods, short and long, and water in play often. There are tee signs, and the baskets are in pretty good shape.

The first hole is a nice opener. It is kind of long, with water the length on the left, and the parking lot on the right. Hole 5 also plays along the creek, with the fairway turning left as the creek bends right. Where they intersect, there is a window to the basket. My Destroyer cut at just the right moment and skipped to within 5 feet of the pin. If you are too short or long, branches can knock down a disc and leave it in the bottom of a soggy, brushy trench.

Hole 6 tees across the water the other way, downhill this time. There is open airspace once you get through the window crossing the creek, but if the drive fades left too hard you can be right back in it. Hole 9 is a fun run over the ravine and through the woods to Innova's chains you go. The 18th hole is an unnerving drive to a blind pin right in front of the creek. It is not too long, but the approach is on a slippery slope, so overshooting a drive or putt may skip or roll you right into the water.

Layout is navigating around a small park with other things to do. Plays near the playground, baseball field, and amphitheater. A course map and some additional signage would be great to take the guesswork out of navigation.

The tee sign was gone on hole 2, but the green metal post is still there. It is across the bridge from the basket for the first hole. Crossing the creek on hole 5 and 6 is a steep climb up and down the banks of the creek, unless you walk all the way back to the bridge. Would be treacherous after rain.

Some of the wooded holes between 7 and 12 are borderline impossible drives. Hole 10 is a par 4 that is only 187'. There is no line, I think that the 187 posted on the sign is because the tree branches murder any drive you throw. 12 is a really narrow gap as well.

Hole 13 and hole 16 share a basket I think. It was the only basket with no number, and I couldn't find another target. 16 plays directly across the field, so it won't be playable if others are using it.

There was horse manure practically everywhere in the open portion of the park.

I liked a lot of what Tootleville Park has to offer. It could use some TLC, like a little trimming and a couple of arrows pointing the way here and there. I would like to see concrete tees, and maybe a few more steps to help when crossing the creek. Park in the gravel lot next to the ball fields to be nearest the first tee sign.

It is a fun little course, and is likely not to busy most days. If there are busy days, you may have to be patient or maybe skip a hole or two.

I made it through with a 2 over par (58), with 4 birdies and 6 bogies. I would play it regularly if I lived in the area, but a few additions could improve my rating to a 3.5/5.
