Played this course yesterday afternoon. It is long-- over 6500 ft. I played the reds, shorts and figure it was about 5200. Still plenty of space. The course has a decent variety of shots (left, right, up, down, open, tree lined)in a picturesque park near Lincoln's tomb. The trees will provide more challenge in the summer. There are no alternate pins. However there are up to three different tees for each hole- blue, white red. The concrete is a bit small and narrow. The holes that only have one tee have a bigger and wider teepad. The maddening thing is that the tees are not marked. I parked near #14 and played that as #1 and ended on #13. On most holes you can see the basket. However, I spent some time figuring out where the holes were. It would have been nice to at least paint a number on the teepad so I could be sure which hole I was on. There are no distance marking anywhere. I got the 6500 figure from the PDGA website. They had a box near the first tee with a handwritten map. The map has local pars ie. Par 4 for a routine 300 foot hole that even I can 3, but no distances.
Complaints aside, if you are in town, its worth bringing your bag if you are in the area. I scored well on the reds. The blues will provide a better challenge for heavier hitters.
what were the tees like? dirt i assume? were they in good shape?
all clean concrete in good shape. There was a paint streak, either red, blue or white at the front letting you know which tee it was. However they are short and narrow. I do not have a very long run up but still had to be careful. I have since seen the distances on the Springfield club website. The reds were just over 5000. Whites about 6100 and blues 6500.
