Peaceful Pitch and Putt 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 9, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ 9 holes well marked with tee posts and Discatcher baskets.

+ Some ace runs.

+ Very secluded, didn't see a soul my entire round.

+ Though I think its due to lack of upkeep rather than an intentional design feature, there were a few holes with low ceilings that made rollers an attractive option.

+ Compact, very quick to play.

+ No issues getting permission to play. I showed up and asked about a DG course at the front desk, and they were eager to offer me a map / scorecard and even offered me some free loaner discs. They were very welcoming.

Cons:

- Not a single challenging hole. All are short, I'd guess 220' or less save for 8 which might be 250'.

- 6 out of 9 holes are simple straight shots. #3, one of the turning holes, you can just overhand straight at the pin for an easy birdie.

- Lots of spiderwebs on the course and in the baskets, seems it isn't used often.

- No hole distances listed anywhere. Most are 150-220' so it isn't a big deal.

Other Thoughts:

Obviously not a destination course, White Oak offers an easy, secluded 9 hole course that is quick to play. I stopped by because I had an hour of sunlight left after throwing the nearby Adventure World course and wanted to squeeze in the nearest 9 hole. It was fun checking out a new course, like always, but unfortunately this one offers no compelling reason to make a return visit. Chester State Park isn't that much further and that 9 hole course is more fun, not to mention the destination level 18 hole course there. Play it if you're passing through but don't go out of your way to visit.
