Pros:
Wow! What a nice nine-holer. Can people in the Pittsburgh area make a bad course?
The name of the game here is elevation. You have a nice balance of uphill (#1,6,9), downhill (#2,7,8), and level shots (#3,4,5). The elevation is aided by some nice lines that require some flex shots; this is especially true on holes 3,4, and 8. Other holes here require lazer accuracy on threading fairways.
The best hole, IMO, is #7--an incredible 800'+ downhill hyzer to a well-guarded pin. This hole would stand out on any course due to its length, elevation changes, and tight lines.
For being a new course, there's a lot of amenities that make it seem a little more mature. Multiple teepads (denoted by gold, blue, and orange flags), signs, next tee signs, a bathroom, practice basket, and flagged pathways all make playing here more interesting.
Cons:
Most of the issues here are things that will be rectified by time (better teepads, official tee signs, defined walkways, etc).
There's a fallen tree on #2 that gets in the way of the fairway that will hopefully be removed shortly.
If there would be a way to use the park's land to incorporate some wide open long bomb shots, this would be a phenomenal course.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, I was very pleased and found this course to be excellent despite its infancy. Its a well-balanced course that utilizes changes in elevation and a variety in doglegs and lines. In fact, it's one of the better 9 hole courses in Western PA. Kudos to everybody who evidently put a lot of time into this place.
I really hope this becomes 18 holes, as it would be an excellent addition for Worlds in 2015.
