Pros:
- Great use of available space
- Good place to practice approach and placement shots
- Baskets were in great condition. Powder coated blue for easy visibility.
- Natural tees are usable and well marked
Cons:
- Flow of the course reflects what I assume was originally 5 holes and expanded to 9. It would make more sense to play 1-3,7, 6, 4, 5, 8, 9. Still, the flow wouldn't be perfect, but slightly better. According to the 2014 map here, that's close to how it plays, but not how the holes are marked on site.
- Plays past a baseball backstop. Not being local to me, I'm assuming it's seldom used, but could cause a conflict of activities.
- It took a little looking around to find hole 4. The walk to 4 that we were able to find potentially interferes with play on 6.
Other Thoughts:
This is a nice little park that sits in a subdivision of Plover. We stopped to play to break up some travel through the area. If you're coming into the area on Hwy 39 or County HWY B, it's just a few minutes off your route.
It's very short, so definitely grab your pitch and putt discs. The first few holes require the ability to hit a tight line through some short tree / brushy areas. Most of the rest of the holes are much more open.
1- Basket lies to the left of the fairway. Short shot, but unless you go over the trees, you'll have to hit your line to lay up.
2 - Basket is more left this time. but same type of fairway as #1.
3 - Straight through the wooded area, back the opposite direction from #2. A little longer, this time.
4 - Walk out of the woods to the North end of the park. 4 tees from near the trees, around a large tree, with the basket to the right.
5 - Straight along the NW edge of the park. Open shot.
6 - Plays back into the woods. There's a couple gaps you can hit to get to the basket without going over the top.
7 - Plays back into the field, another open shot.
8 - You're on the West edge of the park again. Open shot, but tight if you're throwing rhbh.
9- Open shot back to the South edge of the trees. The basket is maybe 10-15' inside of the treeline. Open shot to get there, just hit your gap to lay up.
