Decided to play a quick nine (9) holes before heading back up North to the cold and snow. This downtown Public run Par 35 course was a surprise at conditions and challenge for its Blue at 2,936yds down to Reds at 2,260yds. For $19 w/cart and the overseeding green conditions it was better than the two (2) courses I played earlier this week here. Starting out #1 with a narrow/OB right side 423yd Par 4 gets your attention right away. The smaller size greens make up for the lack in length on some of the other holes. The #2 Par 4 hole at 342yds has a hill 175-200yds out from the Blues with the 100yd marker on top, level with the small narrow green. The #3 a slight downhill 153yd Par 3 to a RH front green-side bunker to this small round green. The #4 is a 377yd dogleg left thats 225yds to the corner and stay to the RH side to avoid LH trees. The #5 is a short 286yd dogleg right that has a 200yd tee shot putting you in the center of the corner.......Safely, for a easy par. The #6 at 333yd is a easy Par 4 if you hit a 180-220 tee shot, because everything tightens up after that. Trees LH/RH, narrowing fairway with sand traps on the inside corner to a small uphill sloping green. The #7 is a downhill 196yd Par 3 with going long is nothing but trouble so short left is your bailout. The #8 dogleg right at 339yds has your 2nd shot best played from 90-130yds in to this small elevated green. Saving the longest and narrowest hole for last, this #9 at 487yd Par 5 demands staying in the fairway as straying right is O.B. This was a real surprise to find a inner city Public course with the play it gets and still in great shape.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
