Pros:
This beautiful little family park just outside the beltway east of Milford, Ohio has a decent nine hole course for Novice to Rec players to get in a quick practice round on their short game. The flow is very good, with safe throwing lanes for the most part, and the course lines beside, then weaves twice across a pretty little creek, with a well-built pedestrian bridge situated well below the line of the 9th fairway (25 feet below the flight path). The course uses the hills, terrain, foliage, and limited space very well, keeping mostly away from the shelter and playground areas of the park.
Higher level players will likely avoid this easy course, but might be pleasantly surprised by the tight lines needed on the 325' #5 and the signature hole, the 375' valley-spanning #9 (if only they would put in concrete tees...)
The signage is quality, and you can tell someone is lovingly taking care of this place.
Cons:
Dirt teepads boxed with landscape timbers are a little inconsistent, with roots starting to show through, so you worry about your step up. There are no benches or trash bins, yet the park is kept clean.
There is little distance variation, as 7 of the holes are between 185 and 215 feet.
The biggest drawback to this course right now it that the hill top holes (7 & 8) stay muddy for days and days after the most recent rain. If it's been really rainy, they are almost unplayable. The first time I went up there in February, I almost lost a shoe in the muck. So I only go here if it's been dry for most of a week.
Other Thoughts:
Initially gave this a 2 and not 1.5 because it's beautiful and well-maintained. Clearly a fun little family park.But just raised it another half point in 2014: Other than the rooty tees, the course looks awesome. They've cleared some of the thick stuff on the right of the tight hole 5, and put in a fantastic set of steps (see new pic) and mulched path up on top, going to hole 7, so the old mud problem is gone..
And now (9/13/16), they've installed large, level concrete pads! They did such a good job, it almost seems they were tired of hearing about the worn tees before and really killed it. Some of the pads are as much as 5'x15' for a 190' downhill putter ace run. Great tees, and much appreciated.
