Update on new layout as of 5/19/24...
- New hole #6 tee pad is in the trees behind the #5 basket.
- New #7 is old #9.
- New #8 is old #10.
- New #9 is old #11.
- New #10 is through the trees SW of the basket. Dog-leg left over the old concrete bridge.
- New #11 tee is #14 pro tee throwing in the opposite direction on a slight dog-leg right.
- Back on the original course for #12 through #18.
The crew has done a good job of making lemonade out of the Band Shell project lemons. A bit more tuning and a chance to grow in and PPDGC will be better off for the new challenges.

Flat park course that have some variations and two different layouts. The main challenge players that could throw 100 meters and you also need to be able to shape your shots.

Nothing special, I expected more after the 440’ par 3 start but the course was super wet and saturated. A lot of the same shot over and over, if you can throw 350’ you can shoot double digits easy. Short and open par 3s, and short par 4s was kinda boring
