re: Leave BR City Park Golf Course Open

My son (13) and I played there 2 weekends ago. Good for kids and beginners, sure, but so is Webb, Dumas, and Clark. I would much rather see a signature park type space there than the golf course.

This is where you completely lost it. One JS Clark is THE goat pasture. It is flat and unimaginative. I love city park and consider it my home course because it doesn't get old playing there. Tee box on 4 is hitting over the train tracks to a green you can't see, 5 and 6 are par 3 over water. 7 has a high tee box location and hitting over a second hill. Ive had my first and only hole in one on 9.
JS Clark is straight, flat, boring, "let me get 9 holes in 30 minutes" golf
Dumas doesn't know how to keep the greens green. Once had absolutely no grass on the greens because someone used the wrong sprayer

And further, city park is huge with the retirement community. So yes there are more rounds played on the weekend, but I can promise the difference is not that severe.

Its so great going out on a day and playing 9 holes for $7 and walking the course.

Been playing there for 5 years and never had anyone steal my ball and try to sell it to me. Got enough I'd laugh at them and play a new ball.
