Played the course:once
Pros:
-- One decent (good?) hole: No. 3 is 259 feet RHFH with the basket (blind from the tee) guarded by a big tree. This is also the only hole on the course that does not have major safety issues.
Cons:
-- Equipment is cheap AND in bad shape. Black Hole Portal baskets are falling apart. No. 7 only has the catching basket (no chains or center pole); No. 5 is partly broken and leaning badly.
-- Tee pads are gravel, but they are small (4 feet long) and surrounded by some sort of metal tubing in the ground which make any sort of runup difficult on most holes.
-- Tee signs are laminated paper tacked to wooden posts. Most are unreadable now, and some are completely missing.
--- Navigation is terrible. Finding No. 1 (between the office and the fence) is a challenge. Baskets are not numbered, so you throw to the basket you see straight ahead (through tree limbs, so some challenge). Later you figure out that was basket 9 you played from the No. 1 tee. If it were an actual hole, it would be the second-best on on the course. No. 2 is across the entrance to the complex from the actual basket for No. 1. Nos. 2-6 are fairly easy to find, but tees 3-4 back up to each other but play in the opposite directions; when you finish 3, you walk back up the fairway (blind to the tee) to reach No. 4. After 6, there is no indication where No. 7 is. I wandered 5-10 minutes before stumbling upon the 7 tee in the middle of half a dozen buildings. After 8, finding 9 was another challenge.
-- Safety. This is the most-dangerous course I have ever played. Except for 3, every hole has a walking path bordering or crossing it. Most fairways play within 20-25 feet of apartments, meaning an errant shot could hit someone on his/her patio. Parking lots also come into play. No. 1 is a RHFH around/over a playground area to a blind basket. No. 7 is a RHBH hyzer around a building to a basket you can't see from the tee. Your flight path basically follows a walking path. And the No. 8 tee is about 35 feet left of the 7 basket. No. 9 is a RHBH hyzer around/over a small dog park. Nos. 4 and 6 are straight shots, but you've got apartments lining the left edge of the fairway (20-25 feet away).
-- No benches, water or map.

Other Thoughts:
-- This is a private course intended for residents of the apartment complex. It's unlikely to ever be crowded.
-- I'm a course bagger, and I regret the time I wasted on this course.
