My first course in Switzerland 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Close to public transportation, the tram drops you off near the first tee pad
-Baskets are where they say they are on the DGCR map
-Decent challenge for experienced players, but accessible for beginners
-Although public park/sports center in the suburbs, it was not busy at all

Cons:

-EuroStar baskets are similar to the Mach II/III's back in the states, which feel out of date and cheap.
-Some holes are harder to get to if playing after a recent rain as the hills will be muddy (and you may slip and fall down them)
-The tee pads are mostly sidewalk marked off (but easily found with the DGCR map

Other Thoughts:

Brought some first timers I was visiting in Schaffhausen and we took the train/tram out here to play. They had a good time and I enjoyed playing a new course while traveling abroad. Make sure to download the map off of here before you go out as there probably won't be locals there to guide you through. Simple 12 holes, but a good time nonetheless.

Nice park, decent course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Hardhof course is located in a sport park in the suburbs of Zurich. The setting is nice and the holes are sometimes challenging. The baskets were in decent shape. I played there in early spring, everything was lush and beautiful and the park was very well maintained. Please note that the park facilitates a whole other range of sports activity: several soccer fields, running paths throughout, cross fit obstacles etc, therefore, you could come across other users of the park far more often then with other courses spread across a larger area.

Cons:

There were a few too many blind shots that require a spotter. This was my main issue. Playing alone, I was worried that I would hit someone when throwing around blind corners. Fortunately I had no issue but I wonder how one could play here on a busy weekend afternoon without using a spotter, it would seem a bit reckless to me.

Other Thoughts:

Aside from the spotter issue, it really is a nice course, the layout is well thought out. If you are nearby and have some time to play, definitely check it out.

5th Country Played! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 5, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Use of the Park - Dang this park isn't the biggest but it has used it very well. Hole 6 and 10 were awesome. The water also plays into the course.

-Decently Marked Holes- While they do not have Tee Pads or Signs, they have all the holes marked with spray paint, and fairly easy to find.

-Baskets - Nice Baskets with Voodoo warrior stickers on all of them.

-Easy to Find - I put the Lat and Lang on my Google maps and found it simple. It has a bus stop fairly close to it, and was easy to get to from public transport

-Manicured - I played at the end of winter, but it seemed nicely taken care of.

Cons:

- No Signs - Because of this I had to refer to the map a lot. The one on here is out dated(I added the new one. Only changes holes 11 and 12)
, so I had to safari a few holes, but the rest was fairly simple.

- Multi Use Park - Some of the Tee pads are on running trails and also by some soccer fields. I didn't see any people using the other area while I was at the park but it was very rainy.

Other Thoughts:

http://www.voodoowarriors.ch / - You should go to this website and e-mail them. I got a call within 2 days and if there wasn't a tourney I would of had someone show me around.

Public Transport is easy, it appears bus 89, 46, and 13 all appear to go very close. I used Google map and found it quickly.

They had a decent amount of trash cans, and other amenities in the park, I didn't see a rest room, but I was also not really looking for one also.

I've played in four European countries and this course felt the most like an actual course, it didn't seem gimmicky, or not taken care of. If you are in the city you can get here play a round fairly quickly.
