Pros:

Sure,... if the walking path is closed and you are a pro it might be great for tournaments but...

Cons:

Not beginner friendly or for the family camping crowd that makes great use of the park otherwise. #1 pin too close to ball field. #3 is too steep to play in the wet. Big mosquito factory casual water pond on the next hole or so. Too many conflicts with walking path on too many holes. #18 pin is too close to picnic area/ new playground. Some shorter pins/tees would improve safety and playability for all. It needs clearing and pricker bush removal. Must be a real beast in the summer when everything grows up. I suspect the local players can't handle the work of keeping up such a big course, especially since it doesn't appeal to the average player anymore, as did the original layout. Don't go after a rainy day.

Other Thoughts:

Keep casual players in mind per Steady Ed's wishes. As the only course in the immediate area this course is too long. Pack a lunch and bug spray, long pants, waterproof shoes, patience for path walkers... Park in the neighborhood nearby and save money.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not really going to rehash the pros and cons. Others before me have done an adequate job of listing those. I will say that I miss the old course. It was a nice short, tight layout that allowed someone to do a causal round. There is nothing wrong with a course being short....on somedays you just might want to throw a relaxing round of DG. The old design allowed you to do this. It rewarded form & accuracy over big power. The new course requires accuracy & power which (let's be honest) most players don't have. RIP old BTP layout. You are missed!
