Only course in Bennington, nice park facilities, picturesque.

Multi-use park can lead to issues with parked cars, cook-out bbqers, kids playing, etc.

Front nine is fair and good, including some field shots, then woody play. After that, things get sketchy with play so close to paved walking trails, playground equipment, and soccer fields that, should these things be in use (e.g. Youth soccer game), even Paul McBeth can't finesse and play the holes. There are specific holes that are memorably fun (like the long bomber up to anthill pin), and some memorably bad (like the completely blind, short, dog-legged afterthought hole that transitions a player from the soccer field area to the softball field area). One can't help but leave this course scratching their head and imagining just how awesome this course could be with foresight, planning, and a professional course designer. There are woods that go largely unused, back-to-back tunnel shots that could be better adapted, tees that are on paved, multi-use paths that should be separated from bikes and walkers, shots that are painfully close to rental pavilions and rest rooms that are begging for personal injury, and completely unexplored areas of this park that would benefit disc golfers with challenge.

As this is the largest town and the only course in southwest VT, what a boon to a cute, touristy town to have a course that is A-tier tournament caliber to bring in restaurant, shopping, and hotel revenue. A fabulous course, either in this park or using the same baskets elsewhere in town, could literally provide a three-season tournament destination.

Such topography, such a pretty town, such a mediocre course.
