Bad with some extra bad

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Nice looking tee signs
- DGA baskets are bright and catch well
- Shorter course for the middle school students to learn on
- Plays quickly for us course baggers
- You'll likely be alone here

Cons:

- Baskets placed right next to fences that placed right next to roads
- Baskets and fairways in other holes fairways
- Wide open, short, and boring course

Other Thoughts:

I mean open, boring holes are bad enough but I feel as though the designer tried to get cheeky and put baskets next to fences that are also close to road and parking lots and such for a little something extra. Extra danger maybe. It wasn't a busy area when I was there but still you have to think about limiting your chances of a lawsuit. Bad property, bad holes, bad design, just bad, bad, bad, and more bad, yuck.

Short stuff

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 31, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Rounds will play quickly here.
Disc loss should be very low here.
A good place to introduce the game to those new to the sport.
More advanced players could work on putter only rounds while newer players should feel good about their scores.
Many of the holes are aceable.
Hole 6 has quite possibly the world's narrowest triple mando.

Cons:

Hole 1's basket is directly beside the fence and plays over the entrance road. Safety concern for sure.
Hole 7 plays very close to the same entry road.
The tees and baskets are very close to each other. If you were using this for a class and the students were spread out there would be many safety concerns.
Not much variety on this course, many of the holes are wide open and boring.

Other Thoughts:

I'm all for entry level courses and courses that grow the sport at the ground level, however those courses still need to have thought put into the design. True there isn't much to work with here, as it's an open field for the most part. However the #1 rule in designing a course is safety. The tee pads and baskets are too close to each other. Now for every day use this shouldn't be an issue as I'm sure more experienced players will choose to play elsewhere, but it feels like they just crammed 7 holes into a space where maybe 4-5 holes would've accomplished the same thing. It's not a bad course and I'm sure for it's target audience it does its job. I just feel they missed out on making this course the best it could be.
Not a destination course by any means but a good place to hone some putting and upshot skills.

Not Very Challenging 9 Hole 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 29, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Decent tee signs

Nice powder coated DGA baskets

Plays quick

Cons:

Short

Flat

Only a couple of trees in play on holes 1 & 2

Grass tee areas

Hole 1 basket is only 7' or 8' from a chain link fence

Other Thoughts:

Good for a quick bag if you are heading to Blue Mountain and would be a decent place to practice, besides that not much reason to stop here.

I'm always happy to see courses on school grounds, I hope this one gets some play for PE class.
