If you are new to the game and live in P'Ville, it's a good place to start, without having to drive to Visalia or Bako. Also, if it was on a day when it is NOT crowded, it could be a fun place for an "Ace Race" event since all targets are reachable in one throw (if you are above the "novice" level). The layout is OK, and easily walkable. Drinking faucets and bathroom on site. Short, 9 hole course. If you are looking for a course where you can achieve a score of 20 or better for 9 holes, this will do the trick. Very easy Par 27, unless you are a novice. Hey, I'm fairly average and I aced the first hole!

The layout could be rearranged a bit, simply by altering numbers on a few baskets. As it currently stands, you have to throw over a possibly congested area from #4 to go to #5. Also, it appears there are two options to reach #8 from #7 - one, throw between the two softball fields (if not being used), two - walk around the furthest softball field (if it's being used) and throw from next to the small school's fence. The biggest limiter at this park is the amount of pedestrian traffic and park use, since it is a rare local green spot in the area. I played on a weekday early afternoon and still had to navigate around several people using the park. Finally, there really are no "pads" or even marked throwing areas. There are a couple of places where sawdust is on the ground, and you can assume those to be "pads" for the next hole, otherwise it is anybody's guess where to throw from. To start, I threw #1 from in front of the cement wall that is part of the picnic area just to the right of the parking lot where you enter the parking area. #1 basket is straight ahead of you toward the main road. From that point on you have to kind of "feel" your way around the course and throw from somewhere that kind of makes sense (to you). Someone could fix this issue pretty easily by putting down rubber pads, or even just placing post markers in the ground to mark the throwing areas. Speaking of post markers, there is a tall post with the number 5 on it, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with hole #5, since from that area, the only basket you can throw to is #4, since the post is close to #3's basket.

Something is better than nothing! P'Ville's only DG course, to date. If you need putting practice, this is a great place to do it, because you can avoid other park users at several basket locations where they are not likely to congregate (1,3,4,6,8,9 should all offer some putting freedom). It's not a "go to" course for DG enthusiasts but it can help you hone in on your short game. Just be cognizant of your surroundings, kids could be running right across your path at any moment. If you are new to the game, or want to help someone out who is new to the game, and they are visiting or live in P'Ville, give it a try.
