Course Description:
A mix of shorter tee shots among large trees in a well-maintained municipal park with lots of amenities. #3 & 7 give you an opportunity to air it out, but the other holes (except #5) are under 250'.

Directions:
From Hwy 60; take Cty Road 27/Hwy 4/Hwy 30 exit to the North. Turn left (west) on 10th Ave. S. (Cty 57) and go ten blocks to the intersection 1st St. S (Cty 56 and Tiell Dr.). Turn left. On the right, see #1 and 9, then a community pool. Turn right into parking area for the pool.
Pros:
- Very well maintained in existing city park.
- Good Mach5 baskets
- 4' x 10' concrete tee pads (installed by approximately 8/15/11).
Cons:
- Short course...plays like a par 23 or par 24, versus a true Par 27.
- Holes 2 and 8 have a number of picnic tables frequently dragged into the line of fire (for RHBH hyzer shots, in particular).
- A bit of a walk from Hole 1 to 2, and from Hole 8 to 9.
- No hole signage yet, though that is going to be installed at a later date.
Other Thoughts: A fun course to work your putt and approach game. Only two holes (3 and 7) let you air it out on the tee (330+ feet), but what it lacks in length, it adds in a clever use of mature trees to force some hyzer and anhyzer lanes off the tee (adding difficulty).
