Pros:
- A full 18 hole course
- Very well maintained park
- Porta-potty on site.
- Guarded baskets do add to your approach strategy
- Navigation is easy "if" you download the map.
- Overall, a very quiet and relaxing round
Cons:
- Small, rutted natural tees
- No information on tee sign other than hole number
- Flooding looks like it could be an issue on back 9
- It's not always clear which basket you are throwing to.
- Navigation difficult without a map
Other Thoughts:
The front 9 plays in the park where the grounds are very well kept. The baskets are tucked away into small bundles of evergreens, and they do require a more careful approach to score well. Beginners should also find the front 9 enjoyable.
The back 9 however plays in a more marshy looking part of the property. Weeds and tall grass wasn't too bad, but there was some wet spots and mud. A permanent drainage ditch runs through this section which tells me flooding is probably an issue. I can see the back 9 being unplayable after a good rain.
I don't have a problem with natural tees, but these are very small, sandy and rutted. It was difficult to feel comfortable, and I threw from just behind or to the side. This course is nice enough for concrete tees and would make for a higher rating.
We were lost until we downloaded a map. I didn't see a course map at the entrance or anywhere else in the park. Also, there is no indication as to where the 1st tee is. Tee signs give no information on distance or location of baskets...find the tee and you're kind of on your own.
I would be happy if this course was in my hometown, and I wish I could rate it higher. It had a few shots with length, and I really liked going after the guarded baskets. However the tees are a major disappointment, and the marshy area looks like it could make this a 9 hole course whenever it rains. Play it if you're in the area, but it's not worth seeking out on it's own.
