I doubt very much that you 3 all the par 5's at woodlawn. hole 7 is 410 feet with trees at the optimal flex glide section and is a 90% 3 hole, but both 9 and 18 are not. I'd be willing to bet you can only 3 hole 9 30% or less, and 3 hole 18 at 15% or less. If you were good enough to 3 those holes easily I'd know who you were, and I don't.

Courses: Oak grove: Fun moderately technical course, some trees but with many lanes, no tunnel shots. Water seriously in play on 2 holes, moderately on a second 2. poorly designed tee boxes and poorly labeled alternates. Tournement play is 18 par 3's good players shoot around -5 or -6. The tournament/league record is -16 held by darrel Nodland (sp?) the alternate tee record is held by me @ -15

Woodlawn: Open. Really open. Ridiculously open. Average hole is ~260ft, and being so open, the wind is really a factor. 18 holes, played all par 3, 1 hole at 505 ft. and one at 515. If you can throw 300 ft with accuracy you should do well. in tournement play, all asphalt and across is out of bounds. (holes 1,2,3,6,7,18) and an average score is -3 on league night. good tournament scores are -7 to -10, I don't know what the record is, but my personal best is -14.

Iwin park: A nine hole course that is flooded 70% of the time, and is the most challenging course in fargo/moorhead. Most people don't like it. I helped with the design process and am quite proud of it. It's tough, lots of water, tunnel, blind shots. If you can shoot -3 your doing really well. I would suggest playing your round with someone whos played the course before.

^ these are all swamps if it rains heavily, woodlawn is your best bet if it's been raining, as it is still playable. Oak grove turns to mud. Iwin goes underwater.

Armour park: not worth your time if you don't have time to waste. this is a city designed park, no input from the local league/players. Everyone and there mother has a hole-in-one on this course.

There you go. If you feel like having a local to play with, shoot me a PM.

Woodlawn is by far my favorite course, longer then the other 2 previously mentioned and more fun in my opinion 2
