Armco Park

Hole #1 is over 400 feet of a pure line drive w about 8-10 large bushy trees on either side of the fairway. You have to keep a close eye on both of your first 2 shots as to not lose them in those trees. #2 is over 500 feet. #3 is birdiable w a righty hyzer or hit the tricky gap. #4 is just under 800 feet. #5 is a dogleg right by the pond it is another long hole & 1 of the toughest on the course. #6 is an uphill dogleg right.

Hole #1 is over 400 feet of a pure line drive w about 8-10 large bushy trees on either side of the fairway. You have to keep a close eye on both of your first 2 shots as to not lose them in those trees. #2 is over 500 feet. #3 is birdiable w a righty hyzer or hit the tricky gap. #4 is just under 800 feet. #5 is a dogleg right by the pond it is another long hole & 1 of the toughest on the course. #6 is an uphill dogleg right. A righty has to either have a forearm or anhyzer on your second shot/approach on #6. #7 is the 1084 footer. Very open to the right w 1 large evergreen to navigate about 750 feet down the fairway. #8 should be the 1 easy par you come across if a righty. #9 is a long dogleg left. Tough par that I got. #10 be aware you’ll see #11 basket way in the distance. You can’t see #10 basket from #10 tee. It’s in a small pocket to the left. For me #11 was a four at best. Unless you have a big arm you’ll want to position your drive shot before the bridge. Around the bridge is very over grown. Parking it before the bridge puts you in position to place your next approach shot. #11 is a long dogleft left. #12 & #13 are behind the baseball fields, are open & not very interesting. The park was closing and we were escorted out. #14 dawgleg left. Beware woods on left. 15 treacherous up & downhill over a creek. 16 birdiable w a clean anhyzer shot. 17 dawgleg right over 600 feet uphill & around. 18 along a lake to the right. DON’T GRIPLOCK THAT DRIVE!
This is an excellent and mostly long course.
BONUS: Armco is right across the street from Turtlecreek if your trip to either one gives you enough time to make a day of it.
Pack a cooler & make it your destination.
Beautiful course.
