Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice tee signage that includes a picture and a distance. Two teepads (short and long) at every hole. Nice baskets and I liked that each basket had an indicator for the direction of the next tee. Park was clean and free from graffiti. Pretty open, but nice use of trees and obstacles so it doesn't feel like you're throwing to a basket in an empty field. Good distance for a public park course (especially from the longs). Forgiving for beginners. Easy to get to off I-39. 12 holes is better than 9.

Cons:

Flat, no elevation changes at all. No holes that force a line. Pretty straightforward, some may find it too easy and kind of boring. Could be some overlap with other park goers in spots (though it seems this course/park is rarely crowded). Would prefer concrete teepads to rubber. Seems like there could have been room for more holes which would've been nice.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course as I was passing through north on I-39 on a Friday afternoon and had the course, and pretty much the park, to myself. On the whole, I was pleasantly surprised. The course is pretty open, I would call it lightly wooded, but the trees they have are mostly mature pines and they do well with what they have to make it interesting. And if you happen to hit one, these pine boughs are like Dikembe Mutumbo with the way they reject discs! Also, if you're expecting a public park course with a bunch of ace runs, think again. Even from the short tees, there are no holes under 220', most are over 250' and a handful over 300' (longer from the long tees, obviously). So you need at least a decent arm to card birdies. That being said, this course is extremely forgiving. Every basket can be seen from the tee. Pretty much every hole has a wide open fairway, meaning if you go right or go left, it doesn't really matter, you'll still have a clean approach look. The ones that do require a gap, there are usually multiple routes. Almost every hole could be parked with a good enough RHBH hyzer shot. And sometimes that's perfectly fine! Great for beginner/intermediate players, and sometimes I'm not trying to play the most technical course in the world. But more advanced players could get bored. I think they could've added a few more obstacles, maybe a blind shot or an elevated pin, that would've upped the difficulty a bit without changing the layout. Overall though, this was a really fun spin. Very easy to get to off I39, so if you're driving through I recommend it for a quick, fun round to stretch your legs. Not a destination course by any means, but I would play it again if I'm in the area.
