Directions:
I 99 exit 17th St.(33). Right at light on Valley View Blvd. Go north 1.3 miles to a right on 2nd St. (brown park sign), 1 block to a left, 1 block to a right on 1st St. Go to top of hill to the park on the right. 1st tee right of restrooms.
This is where I play most often, my fave. It's a clean park, with a mix of open and wooded fairways. Just about every basket has something fun and interesting about it. I find myself throwing every style on this course. #4 is difficult to find for a first timer here. After #3, walk along the path to a small bridge. Across the bridge, walk up the hill to the left and you'll see the tee pad. #4, #6, and #8 offer challenging fairways, that are wooded, and twist both left and right.
A well balanced course, from open fields to deep wooded areas. Wish there were 9 more holes to go with this.
Nice 9 hole course, could certainly use 9 more and would be an even better course to play. Didn't think much of the course until hole #4 - I like it because you let your guard down thinking, simple little 9 hole course and then.... BAM, your in the woods. And the creativity begins. You MUST wear bug spray, or maybe it was the day that I went, but better safe than sorry. I threw my putter and some mid ranges that I know go straight, but, played it twice and second time tried to go low, lots of trees.. Nice upkeep.
