Default mini course

ok so some of you know about that 9 hole pitch/putt course in Leander on the corner of Bagdad and Osage (Lakeline Ranch subdivision, behind the community swimming pool). Although its a 5 minute walk from my house, I've played it a total of once.....and that was enough.

Well NOW.......at the intersection of Osage and Lakeline Blvd, about 1/2 mile down from the course above, there's another subdivision going up and in the front of this subdivision facing Lakeline Blvd, a park w/swimming pool is going up and there's baskets in the ground there as well! WTF? From the closeness of the baskets to each other, its sure to be another pitch/putt 9 hole type. So now i'm gonna have *2* practice courses nearby, neither really worth more than practicing upshots and putting.

There must be some incentive to put in a course into a community park, however crappy that course may be........

Is this thing going on all over the Austin metro area, or just here (Leander), I wonder? Anyone know?
