Other Thoughts:
My personal opinion is that a 9 hole course should be a beginner style of course. This course is not that.
Longer holes that are mostly open. The layout gets confusing and the park is not all that big, but it had several long holes stacked right next to each other.
First tee is sort of hidden on the other side of the volleyball court.
Hole 2 was easy enough to find, back up towards the 2nd parking lot and down into a small clearing in the trees. This would be a 2 shot hole for most people as it is a 378ft hole.
then you cut round the brush for a 345ft hole into the open.
This is the first place I had issues, you actually walk past 6 tee box to get to 4 tee box that throws almost 400ft back.
Hole 5 is a decent hole, lots of rough on your right, but at 470ft is a 2 shot hole for most players.
Then back across #4 tee box to get to #6 tee box and your throwing back to what I first thought was the practice basket next to the parking lot.
Then I got totally lost, I knew there were 3 more holes. You litterally walk all the way around a ballfield to a hole that throws along the street. Not a hard hole, but newer players, specially right handed backhand throwers are going into the street more often that not.
Then hole 8 is the tightest hole though the tree's.
I had a hard time finding #9's tee box, you litterally walk almost all the way back even with #8's tee to throw a 400ft shot.
In general, each hole on this course is decent enough. It is challenging, specially with the mando's to keep you out of the way of other park users and other fairways. But this is too big of a course in too small of a park for just a 9 hole course in my opinion.
Would I play here again? Nope. It's a 9 hole course, I would rather play Cobb Park again (next closest course) if I only had time for a quick 9 holes. As I stated above, this course has some good holes that are fun to play, but in general, it is a 9 hole course trying to be more than it should be.
