Moor Downs Golf Course
Played On 09/08/2016Urban Gem
This course is literally smack dab in the middle of the Waukesha County grounds (the juvenile detention center, the jail, the medical center) so it really doesn't give you much of a secluded typical golf course feel. In fact, there is a point during the round where on your golf cart, you're led through an industrial park via the sidewalk (from the 2nd green to the 3rd tee box) so that's pretty odd. I've never seen that before on a golf course. Also, this golf course's layout is EXTREMELY confusing. I got lost several times trying to find where the next hole is and there really aren't any signs that lead you in the right direction. It's a lot of crossing in between holes to get to the next tee box, so again, that's pretty weird. One more bad thing is that if you take a cart here, be prepared for a bumpy ride! There aren't any cart paths so you have to ride on the fairways and rough, which is excrutiatingly bumpy and uneven. It feels like you're riding in a four wheeler through rough terrain than on a golf cart in a fairway.
But, for the money, (15 bucks for 9 and a cart between 1 and 3 during the week) this course is excellent. There were hardly any people out there so its a good place to come and work on your game without a whole lot of eyes watching and pressure from people behind you. The greens are average at best but the hole layouts are fun and challenging. My favorite hole was number 3. t was an elevated tee box with a severe dogleg left. I took a risk and cut the corner, which worked out in my favor. It left me with a 60 yard approach shot. For a longer hitter, its possible to drive the green here.
So besides the layout being funky and the ground being rocky and the course being in the middle of an industrial park, this place is perfect for a quick and cheap 9 holes to practice for bigger and more expensive courses.
Fairways of Woodside Golf Course
Played On 09/06/2016One of my new favorite courses!
The Fairways of Woodside golf course is truly a jewel of a course. The maintenance on the course is top notch. In fact, its one of the nicest kept up courses I've ever played! The fairways are nice and plush and the greens are thinly cut and fast. The layout of this course is interesting but very enjoyable. The front 9 takes you through a tunnel to the other side of the property and weaves its way through a subdivision. It contains very short distances on par 4's and wide open fairways. In fact, I'd say its super easy. So get all of your pars and birdies on the front nine because once you hit the back, it's all different It's zig zags, tight fairways, water, marshes, long distances, and difficult greens. Good luck on the back because it is definitely a challenge. For a first timer like me, I would say that it takes a few times of playing this course to score low. Familiarity will really help out on a challenging back nine. Now, this isn't discrediting the back nine at all. I love a challenge! And I love the fact that it's a brand new game after the 9th green. My favorite hole is the first one because it's so birdie-able and a good confidence boost to begin your round. Annett I got a good deal! Golf now had 18 and a cart for 10 bucks so who what could be better? I'm definitely going to golf here a lot more often. I'm glad I found it.
