Nice campus course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays between residence halls on the WKU campus. There are some scattered trees and ob sidewalks as obstacles. The grass was nicely mowed, and the grounds were well kept in general. A minor elevation change comes into play on one hole, adding a bit of downhill fun. The baskets are in good shape, and the natural tees are flat and not rutted out. The signage is good at the tees and where there are walks between holes, no problems navigating the course.

Cons:

The course is very short and easy, simple hyzers suffice for all the holes and there isn't much distance. That's great for between classes and introducing new players to the sport, the course is perfect for it's intended audience, I just rate all courses based on the same criteria. There are some potential safety issues, with sidewalks, buildings and a road in play, all of which could be exacerbated by less skilled players who are more likely to spray shots in unintended directions. Parking can be a mess without a university pass, it's easier to play this one on a weekend.

Other Thoughts:

I love seeing campus courses that offer approachable holes for beginners and a quick layout that's playable between classes. New players will find enough obstacles to make it interesting, but no really tough shots or rough to frustrate less accurate throwers. More experienced players won't find much challenge, every hole is birdieable with just a putter and maybe a mid. This is a great place to try out the sport and learn how to play before taking on the other, more challenging courses in town.

Good night course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 6, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Illuminated course allows you to play at night. Very well manicured

Cons:

Only 6 holes with only one being a challenge to get a birdie. Very short and parking is horrible if you dont go to WKU. Many pedestrians walk on or near the course. LARPers use hole 2 on Sunday to duel or whatever.

Other Thoughts:

Good for your first time playing and for the space. Not really the best spot for it and not worth your time. One of the few courses to skip in BG.
