Pet Cemetery

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

Following along the neighborhood's 9-hole course, Timber Wolf takes a bit of navigation skill, but not a whole lot else.

Tee signs with distances on each hole. Several of them tee from the actual golf tees. MachV baskets are in decent shape.

Greens are the most interesting part of the course. 1, 3, and 5 have a slope down to the creek on their right. 2 has some low tree branches to beat 50ft before the pin, and 9 is tucked back in a corner making parking it with a big hyzer nigh on impossible.

After the first two holes, navigation isn't that bad. Signs 3-9 can be seen from the previous basket.

Cons:

Poor holes abound. 1 is wide open except for the junk by the green. 6 has one tree, 8 has none. 7 is a simple dogleg left, and Hole 4... is bad. A 175ft shot, it's a 150 degree dogleg right around the trees, but they're just far enough to make the shot a bad one.

Grass tees, and the tee of 3 is a bit unclear as to where to tee from. If you tee by the sign basket 2 may be in the way, but there's so much space to the left to choose from that it ends up being ust guessing.

5 and 6 play a bit close to houses, and 6 is definitely not 390 as the sign says. And thw sign for 4 says it's a par 2. There's no such thing as a par 2.

Water doesn't come into play much, which is unfortunate. Only by a rhbh griplock on 6 or maybe going long on hole 7 will you bother the pond.

Other Thoughts:

The pet cemetery left of the green of 7 was something new to my course bagging career.

This is not a course worth trespassing for (and, no, I didn't). It's a quick, mostly open play that seems better taken care of than the 9-hole bolf course, but could also be yanked and I assume few would notice or put up a fight. It's nice that it exists, and I'm sure the person who got it put in is happy, but it's nothing super special.
