Solid 9 in a nice park. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 28, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 hole course located in an out of the way small town city park.

Concrete tee pads, plenty long and wide and grippy. These were very nice, and played well. One tee per hole. Hole 2 is the only outlier, as it is actually painted lines on the road up the hill.

Nice, bright yellow Kingpin baskets. Solid in every regard. One pin position per hole. A couple nice pin placements with rollaway possibilities. It also feels like there's definitely some space for alternate pin locations here.

Some nice distance variation in play, especially with the variations in elevation. There's nothing you'd really consider a bomber hole, but there's a couple opportunities to get a pull out.

A little bit of water in play...sorta. The river runs along a few holes, but you'd really have to get loose on one to actually lose a disc here.
**teaching moment - please notice the use of "loose" and "lose", and apply it to your daily vocabulary

The first couple holes have a decent amount of trees in play. Hole 1 is a darn nice starting hole.

Navigation is relatively easy, with good tee signs.

Cons:

There's a lot of openness here. Not much to be done about that, as most of the open spaces have already been used in the park.

Some long-ish walks between holes. Nothing serious, but more than the average course.

A couple of the holes play very close to the road, so you need to be aware of your surroundings.

I could see this park being well used on nice weekend days....because, well, Pittsville isn't exactly full of stuff to do.

Other Thoughts:

You can tell there has been some love put into this course. It's a fun spin for a beginner or intermediate player, but it won't offer much for the more advanced player.

Probably not worth going too far out of your way for, but a fun spin nonetheless.

Pros:

The course is set up in a small, clean park in a small town. The course would probably rarely be busy because of it's location. This will be used frequently as a warm up course for nearby Richfield (North Park) for us. The course meanders around park starting north of the pavilions in the center of the park. The flow is easy to follow for the most part, and there's a map of the course as you're walking to the practice tee and hole 1. The practice tee has a putt 360 set up just like the 2 Marshfield courses. Nice touch. The baskets are yellow powder coated Kingpins. These are some of the best baskets out there imo and these catch great and are very visible, just like the ones at Yellow Banks in Wausau. There are 4x4 wood posts with the hole # on them and a hole diagram and distance drawn on the top of each. There are also 2 bricks with the hole # painted on them at each hole serving as the front of the tee area. These serve their purpose just fine. There is water by one hole, technically 3 holes. Two would require really horrible throws but is also possible. There's elevation used well in a couple spots. Hole 2 downhill and 4 uphill. he course was very clean and well mowed and maintained.The course is free as well.

Cons:

There aren't too many trees or other obstacles to worry about. Pretty wide open for the most part. The course is only up in warmer months due to it being right along the Yellow river. I agree with the thinking for this though. If it ever was busy a few fairways run near others and the road. Not even remotely as bad as other courses I've seen but could be an issue. If you just pay attention when throwing this is a complete non issue though, so really not a con.

Other Thoughts:

This is definitely a nice addition to the area. This is not anything to go out of your way to play, but worth a quick round or two if in the area. Couple this, especially as a warm up, with North Park and you're going to have a pretty fun day of golf. Well done Pittsville.
