Other Thoughts:

Ontelaunee is a small gem in New Tripoli, that offers a fairly unique approch to the "Park Courses" Within the valley. The creative use of ponds and creeks makes for a challenging course that does not feel too constrictive when lining up your shot. The DISCatcher baskets are also a great feature here.

The cons for this course are typical of a 9 hole design. I dislike the walk from hole 9(10?) back to hole 1. It isn't the farthest i have seen, but its still inconvenient.

Also the lack of pads is a bit unnerving if it has rained any time close to your visit. Since you are throwing on dirt pads it can be uneven or slippery, so you need to keep an eye out for that.

Overall I enjoy playing this course, and we make it a staple trip within our group at least 2 times a year. Well worth the drive to give it a go.
