- The Big 3: Gene Record Park features large concrete tee pads, Discatcher baskets in good condition, and good metal signage on all 9 holes. The great course starter kit is in place.
- Multiple Tee Pads: Most all of the 9 holes had a shorter concrete pad available. This course can cater to the big arms and the beginners. The short pads make the holes much easier for the most part and the long pads feature par 4s on 4 out of 9 holes. The short pads on these holes could also be played as par 3s.
- Holes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9: These holes feature good length, interesting challenges, and the best scenery. #1 is the only somewhat technical, moderately wooded hole. #3 is a par 4 that throws into somewhat of a tunnel. #5 throws over a creek. #7 is a long blind drive toward a pond. #9 features good shot shaping and basket guarding.
- Number Of Players: It seems like there are a good number of beginners usually playing here. If so, this course provides locals with an introduction to the game and that is always a great thing.

- The Walk: This is a 9 hole course that will log the same amount of total steps as an average length 18 hole course. The closest parking to #1 tee is past #1 basket so you basically walk the 401 foot #1 twice. The only long hole transition walk is from #2 basket to #3 tee. Finally, you finish on #9 at the totally other side of the park. This is definitely the most frustrating part. If you are meeting someone and have two cars, shuttling would be a good option. You can also park in the middle of the park if you want to break up the monotonous walk.
- Pedestrian Hazards: 5 out of the 9 holes can pose the risk/flow interruption of people using the walking paths. If you were to include potential cars and soccer players into this, nearly all holes can be problematic in this regard.
- Amenities: This course does not feature a course map or practice basket area. There are also no benches near tees (other than the picture that is posted which is a safari hole). However, there is a restroom with trash cans at #8 tee.
- Holes 4, 6: These holes lack any elevation or obstacles (for the most part). Simply straight, flat bombs.

Not pros or cons:
- Single Signage: Although the signage is nice and features information and distance for each tee pad, there is only signage at the long tee pads. Adding signage at the short pads would be a nice addition to this course.
- #2: This hole is a RHBH beginner's nightmare. Intense dog leg right with OB parking lot/road to the left the entire time. I can see lots of cars getting hit here. For the more advanced player, this hole is a great challenge and enjoyable.
- #8: This could be a nice hole but has a very major drawback. You throw straight down the walking path for the entire fairway. If you play on a day with no walkers (which I assume is rare as this park seems busy), it's great fun to throw a precision shot through the manicured tree lines.
- Navigation: This is average on this course but would be helped tremendously by a course map, next tee information on the signage, and/or separate next tee signage. The most confusing junction that needs signage is from #2 basket to #3 tee. Walk backwards to the far corner of the parking lot.
- Future 18: The previous review mentions the future of this course becoming an 18 hole course from 9. This would be incredible especially if the designers are able to use the densely wooded area on the hill "above" the park. This addition would easily elevate this course to a 3.0/3.5 with the addition of some amenities. However, this was last mentioned in 2018 so who knows. I'll be eager to do a reevaluation if this is ever the case.
