Surprisingly good

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

The terrain is great. Lots of uphill and downhill with nice wooded holes. Good mix of turns. ConCrete tee pads. Baskets good. Course map at beginning. Flow is excellent
Navigation generally easy. Nice tee signs on each hole

Cons:

There is often more than one basket in your line of sight. Easy to throw at the wrong basket. Some of the fairways are very close together. The tee pads are quite short. No restroom on site. All the holes are on the short side

Other Thoughts:

I really liked this course. It is exactly what I like. I'm old and don't throw far so I want shorter holes. I love hills. Uphill and downhill throws and they abound here. Nice wooded holes generally. Multi use but most of the course is by itself. The 1st few holes you need to be aware of a walking track. I wish this course was in my neighborhood

High Degree of Difficulty in a Small Package drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Shot shaping is definitely the name of the game in this course with each hole making you choose your path wisely.

-Holes make use of the terrain, woods, & small creek to up the difficulty level

-Tee pads are concrete but on the small side.

-Layout progresses in a rational path but next tee signs would help

-Tee signs at each hole with a map, distance, & basket location

Cons:

-The road comes into play on a few early holes and you start out in the park, so you need to be aware of possible cars or other park goers.

-The tee pad size usually isn't much of a factor but on a few holes I felt I needed a couple more feet for a decent approach.

-Since its a new course the brush, roots, & misc debris are still prevalent but will be smoothed down with more use I'm sure.

-As you get into the woods a few holes play back to back, with an opportunity for crossover.

-Hole 17, the only par 4 has a tight angle dog leg back to the right, that seems like a 90 degree angle from the tee sign

Other Thoughts:

In a park this size you usually find lay-up courses that are beginner friendly & don't offer much of a challenge. This one however breaks the mold & manages to throw in a high degree of difficulty that you really don't expect.

Not one that I'd travel far for but worth a look if you're in the area.
