Pros:
Very easy access from public transit - step off the sneltram and you are here. The rubber tees are impossible to miss; the baskets are marked and the course is easy to follow. The park is nicely kept.
Cons:
The first 4 holes vary from short to extremely short (150 down to 50 feet!), with no real challenge - deuce or die. The final hole (there are only 5) is the only one in the long par 3-short par 4 range, but is really not safe to play, since one must drive either through the skate park (left),over a children's soccer area (center) or over a bus parking area (right).
Other Thoughts:
It's hard to fault this course for being exactly what it claims to be - a putt and approach course. But it gets repetitive, with 80% of the holes being trivial in length and without any significant obstacles. Not bad for learning the game, but any competition between experienced players will simply be about going round in circles and waiting for an opponent to miss a putt.
