The tee for each hole is well marked. Hole #1 is located at the south end of the park and near a parking lot. Hole #9 is located near Hole #1, which makes it convenient to replay all of the holes to get in a game of 18. The course and the entire park appear to be well maintained. There are no water hazards.

The course is located in an area that is rocky, hilly, and is dense with trees. Holes 3 through 9 are in densely wooded areas where players will have to step on rocks and small tree stumps. I recommend players to wear strong shoes that will protect the feet and not casual shoes, sandals, or thongs because stepping on the rocks and small stumps will likely cause discomfort or injury to feet, as what I experienced. Hazards include tripping over small tree stumps which are everywhere from Hole #3 to Hole #9. Because of the density of the trees and the poor quality of soil, there is no grass whatsoever from Hole #3 to #9, and therefore there will likely be muddy and slippery conditions during the winter and early spring. As of 8-30-2020, there are no cement tee pads.

I found this to be a fun course and plan to return. The town of Hillsboro is located in central Jefferson County, and Jefferson County is part of the Saint Louis metropolitan area. The roads and highways that lead through central Jefferson County and into Hillsboro feature spectacular scenery of the northeast edge of the Ozarks.
