even jack couldn't play golf here!

Today I went to another "new to me" nature preserve. It is the sight of the former Woodland Hills Golf Club. It is easy to find, but not used much. The paths are grass or old  golf cart roads. The clubhouse and water features remain. But everything else had returned to nature. I couldn't find a single sand pit.

There is a very small parking lot of a gravel road. It is clear that this entrance is not the same as it was for the golf club.

This park was pretty much created by letting everything go fallow. You can't tell the rough from the fairway or the turf. Heck, you'd be hard pressed to find the hole. But some old signs remain. There are a few trees on the one route, but not many. 

There are two paths—blue at 1.1 miles, and green at 2.4 miles. So together one can do a 5K. The trail blazes are just natural green plastic ties. They are kind-of hard to see. Blazing this trail is a scout award project waiting to happen. All that's really needed is a 2x4, 4 feet or so high, with a stake bottom. Then paint the the top 6 inches of the green ones lime green and the blue ones that nasty neon blue and hammer them into the ground. Mile markers or some sort of indicators would be nice too. I felt isolated and helpless as I walked—I guess I shouldn't have gone alone. I had no idea where I was or how far I had gone. I had wished I didn't delete that mapmywalk app. I guess it's time to reinstall.

I took the longer perimeter route. It was very hot and sunny. I should have taken a larger water bottle.

The port-o-potty in the parking lot was clean. Really clean. You could tell few people use this park. I'd give it a P-4.5.

After walking I went to the Saucon Farmer's Market in the Water Street Park.  The park has been totally renovated, with the parking lots on the side where the market was. The market now runs between the rail trail and the playground. It looked a lot bigger, with lots of vendors. I only bought pickles.
