What a great course with so much potential. I would not hesitate to play it again, if and when I'm back in the area. (Despite some of my cons)

1) Of course, grass tees are a definite negative. Sure, you may be installing concrete tees in the future but I can't put intentions into my rating. Not sure why you'd go to the effort and expense to build #17's 'island tee' and still have grass tees. 2) Wild rose bushes!!!!! This is my all time, hard to do worse than this, negative for a course. In my mind, there is no excuse for leaving them growing and I am convinced it is a serious safety hazard that is totally avoidable. You might as well just leave bundles of barbed wire around the course. I can not imagine that the planners purposefully left them growing. Perhaps there are future plans to remove them? Also, it was appalling to see that one hole (was it #7?) was apparently designed to dog leg left around a big clump of rose bushes!!! Who in their right mind designs such a hole? 3) Hole #3 is the worst hole on the course. A throw over a black water bog of a hole. You just know you'd need hip waders, not boots, to retrieve a disc. And there is that tree in the middle of the bog that you have to shape your throw around. That in itself isn't bad but it has all of those small limbs growing up into the available flight paths. Put on your hip waders and trim them away. Then you have a fighting chance not to be knocked down into the mire. Of course, you can throw a big RHBH hyzer over the parking spots which isn't safe if people are parked there.

I realize my cons overwhelm my pros but this IS a nice course and I hope someone will care enough to see it finished and polished. It really seems like once installed everyone decided that a mediocre course was better than no course at all. (Of course, I know nothing of its history and the attitude of the parks department or of any local DG club)
