2.50 star(s) Close To The Heart (2.3) - Although this is a park-style course, it doesn’t really play like one.

2.50 star(s) All Is Good in the Wood (2.6) If you've been playing a while like I have, you may have a soft spot for the town park pitch 'n' putt. - A creek, plenty of trees, and a pleasing diversity of foliage keep it entertaining. - A diversity of skill levels should be able to have fun here. Good for...
