Blatnick Park

I regularly play at Central Park in Schenectady and I had heard that Blatnick Park was not very well maintained but decided to give it a try. Not well maintained is an understatement.

I deem this course unplayable. If you try it you were warned. BTW, I did end up losing a disk despite my best efforts. Extremely UN-e ...

Summer is winding down now. I did like this course a lot when it was setup. There is no upkeep here in at least three months. Nobody has come through to mow the underbrush (grass?). So it is downright dangerous to walk through. There are groundhog den holes and other obstacles that you cannot see through the deep grass. I was worried that I would make a misstep and wrench my ankle or step on an unseen snake. The grass was at least a foot tall everywhere. And the stickers and weeds are now growing into the baskets themselves. I also consider this course to be unplayable now. Might be a good idea to remove these baskets and reuse them at another course!
