This course is a disaster. Poorly maintained. Sad. I will not play there again.

I, for, one, will keep playing Marshview until I feel confident enough to get out on another course. All of you experienced golfers should be thankful that there is somewhere for people to learn that keeps them out of your way!

I don't believe that anyone's golf skills have ever progressed beyond a pitch and putt. This should be a very useful tool for anyone who is serious about improving their game. In fact, short game guru, Dave Pelz, has built a pitch and putt course on his learning facility in Texas.

The idea that a pitch and putt course is only for new golfers to learn on misses the point.

Put and Play
 
Well we are south of the turnpike. Developer is all about selling houses with fake promises. Property Manager needs to be fired. This isn’t the only place that is really bad. Nothing will be done until we standup and insist these things are taken care of. Love it here but they need to step it up. Wasn’t like this when we first came here 12 yrs ago.

Not sure the last time you played there but currently, the course is in EXCELLENT condition !!

I only wish that the courses north of 44 were in as good shape !

The original poster’s observations are a month old .

I was there this morning ........

Pitch & Putt courses are ok once in awhile for practice, but are a poor substitute for a full length (par 4's and 5's) or even an executive course. The developer likes the idea of "pitch and putt" and "putt and play" layouts because they use less land and enables them to jam in more houses on available land. And they can still claim to offer "free golf" to unsuspecting home buyers. It's no surprise that they would like to convert the Silver Lake executive course to a "pitch and putt" layout. Maybe cram some more housing in there too. Perhaps "mini golf" will be the next substitute for real golf courses.
