Over the last year, I’ve played a ton of golf at Sunken Gardens. This is where I got my first eagle. We’ve been playing an early morning round once a week, and recently we’ve played with just 2 irons and a putter.
It isn’t a hard course, but it is pretty well maintained and it’s nice to be able to get even a short 9 in before work. The greens are very slow in the mornings and the course is very slow (lots of beginners) in the afternoon. The driving range is not very nice, but the practice putting green is pretty good. All in all, it is about what you’d expect from a city-run 9 hole course.

Sunken Gardens became a tradition … and I am sure it remains that way !!
