This course definitely wasn’t
what we were expecting when we entered the place. Unlike many indoor courses which are made of
a lot of plywood and 2x4s, this course was designed and built just like an
outdoor course, then placed inside a greenhouse to give it an outdoors feel,
even in the middle of a snowstorm (that’s when we were there). Being in a greenhouse the temperature control
was very good and keeping with the gardening theme the course had excellent
landscaping. The only drawback was that
in some sections it used peat chips, which stuck in your shoes when trying to
stand off the course, then tracked onto the greens. However, before we could even mention it to
the owners, they said they were in the process of changing all
the off course areas over to river rocks instead. The other couple items we noted were that
there were some low overhangs in places due to it being in a greenhouse, so
watch your head and they had flags in the cups which is more just a personal
dislike of ours. The few obstacles that
were on the course didn’t seem to give you much of an advantage by going through
them and there were a couple more interestingly designed holes on the
course. (Hole #9 is a crazy hole,
requiring excellent choice of speed).
This course is definitely
worth stopping by, especially if you need something to do on a
rainy/snowy/otherwise ugly day. The
people are very friendly and the course has a great atmosphere to it.
