PokeHerKing

Hi Folks,

Im aware that there is other threads on par 3 courses but Im planning on going out to this course on sunday and wondering if any1s played it? Any comments on it good/bad?

The link that google keeps bringing up seems to be down and Im interested to know if its in anyway long or in good nick?

All comments appreciated

Cheers

It's okay. Greens are rock hard, usually, presumably because nobody would repair their pitch marks, although that's a guess. A few good holes. Have not played it in many years, though, so maybe it has changed.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but what is the difference between a Par 3 course and a P&P course?

Is it a case that a Par 3 course will be longer in length and similar to Par 3's on a standard course? Whereas a P&P is made of of very short holes where only a pw or less is needed?

If so - what clubs do you guys bring with you on the Par 3 course???

i'v played it a few times, the clubs i'd normally use would be 5,7 and 9 irons, a pitching wedge and a putter. it's a good bit longer than a P&P course, the longest is about 200 yards

From what I remember stepaside par 3 is quite hilly and poor drainage. An ok course at best.

In most par 3 courses a pw is sufficient enough for most holes. average holes size would be around 110 yards. In a pitch and putt course the max size of a hole would be around 110 yards.

Apologies, I didn't read the question carefully enough. I was referring to the public golf course, rather than the par 3 one.

I actually though the par 3 was turned into a housing estate. There's another one, though, the Barrow?

Played the Par 3 a few weeks back. Its grand, not a bad place to play if you're just starting the game.

There's one hole about 200 yards and that's the longest. Most around 100-150.
