Pros:
+ Excellent use of a wide open park: placing baskets in the surrounding treelines, and placing a few of the open ones in spots with danger of rollaways
+ Huge 4' x 12' tees made with timber-framed pavers. All level and flush to the ground in case you need more than 12 feet for your runup
+ The designers did their best to avoid simple, straight, open holes - even though they were working with what is essentially a huge open field. It's a little bit forced at times (throwing around or over the tennis courts on hole #2, and throwing around a single tree on hole #5), but the total number of shot shapes required is pretty impressive
Cons:
- Hole #8 needs some trimming in order to provide fair throwing lines. There's a grove of tall pines directly between the tee and the basket, but the gaps are too narrow to clear. Throwing a RH hyzer up and around the trees is prevented by a huge bush in front of the right side of the tee. The only way to have a line is to attempt a standstill hyzer from the front left corner of the tee
Other Thoughts:
~ Unusual for perimeter park layout, this one starts counter-clockwise, but reverses and finishes the loop clockwise. Navigation is pretty intuitive; there are directional arrows hanging from the bottoms of the brand new DGA baskets. Several basket-to-tee routes have been cut through the woods to avoid walking in the lines of other holes
~ Tees are marked with numbered wooden blocks; no signs yet
~ Many of the holes circle a baseball diamond, but I think they're all far enough out in the outfield that you could play when a game is going on. The one problem spot could be hole #9, which finished up behind home plate
~ Overall, an excellent beginner course. Although experienced players will get bored with it pretty quickly, it's a really good use of the land that the designer had to work with
