Could be a good 9-12 hole course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice course map on hole one. Lots of parking either to Start on hole 1 or 15.
Very nice large trees throughout the park along a pretty river carved against a giant west Virginia-esque ravine.
Cool looking blue disc catchers in great shape (except poor hole 5 which is ripped out of the ground.) There's also a nice elevated tee on a stump.

Cons:

One of the worst designed courses I've ever played. For such a pretty park with so many trees there's basically no challenges. It's a stand still putter shot in every hole. The course is extremely short even for a pitch and putt beginner course. Just look at the course map and you'll understand. They have way to many holes on such a small park. Also hole 5 was ripped up from the ground when I played. Tee markers were missing from a lot of holes, and teepads were often overgrown.

Other Thoughts:

This course has a ton of potential if they took out 7-9 baskets and redesigned it. After a few holes, I started playing my own alternative layout while still throwing one from each teebox to get a feel for the course. You can easily have a great mix of long and short holes on this course with different shaped shots and even bring water into play. It's a pretty park, just too crowded for an 18 hole layout.
