Old Town Hall DGC reviews

Old School lazy design, but with good baskets!!
Reviewed:
Played on:Oct 1, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
Good Patriot baskets.
Small tee signs make the tees easy to spot.
Tees are natural, not much of an issue except on a couple of the longer holes.
Plays in a small community park, away from the playground, picnic shelter and ballfield. Really does a good job of staying away from other Users, more on that later.
Mix of wooded and open holes with at least one to transition between the two.

Cons:
Not a very challenging course, mainly aimed at families and beginners.
Pars are soft on the longer holes (is NH Pars a thing?).
Hole #7 - the tee is tucked back into the woods forcing a tee shot of sharper than 90 degrees. I don't believe too many players have that throw.
After #3 in the woods (and the exception of #5) all holes play left to right. That because they all play around the perimeter of the property (counter clockwise), from the edge of the woods, to the basket usually at the edge of the woods. (That's how the course stays out of the way of other Users.)
Be careful on #6, the hole plays around a corner of the nearby cemetary!!

Other Thoughts:
Pretty typical small town, small park course added for families to have fun. The first 3 are laid out through the woods pretty well, you have to hit a line to get close.
#5 is the only one that breaks from the two types of holes, tee from the edge of the woods and the basket is hidden behind a large bushy tree. You are not getting through that thing, so you have a choice of L to R or R to L drives. A 192' Par 4 (see what I mean) should be an easy birdie, whichever way you go.
#6 does let you air a drive out, the dogleg around the cemetary is very late in the hole, so you can throw whatever you want, then worry about the dogleg right.
This is one of those courses where you may think a Leftie laid it out for revenge on Rightie favorite designs, I honestly don't think there was that much thought into this. They were just trying to stay out of the middle of the property, and they succeeded.
