Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tucked away in the corner of a park beyond baseball fields but before the mysterious Alcoa property next door, this is a nice piece of work. The infrastructure is all very good. Two concrete tees on most holes. Bridges across the streams and ravines. Tee signs listing the distances from the two tees to the different basket locations and (I don't see this often) a changeable letter on each sign to indicate which tee position was in place.

The early holes play among the tall trees in a typical but pleasant park setting. It transitions to the woods for a few holes and has the only part of the course with any elevation. Hole 8 was the best. While I played the short tees, I accidentally teed the long one here and loved the long blast downhill to a basket situated near a creek. The course then moves to some open and semi-open holes on the other side of the lake.

Water comes into play on 3-4 holes.

Navigation was pretty good. I consulted the map a few times.

Cons:

Most of the course is pretty flat. A few of the later holes felt a little ordinary, just open shots with little to get in the way.

Hole 11 had some potential: a short fairway with murky water on the right, trees on the left, and a railroad trestle in the back. But the tee position in use was a bizarre elevated basket behind some thick trees with seemingly no realistic line to the basket without throwing beyond the basket and taking a boring layup back to the basket. I dunno. Maybe I needed to play it more to figure it out.

Other Thoughts:

Credit to the designers here. Some of the longer basket positions (which weren't in use when I played) looked creative and challenging, planned by someone determined to maximize the potential of this piece of land.
