Pros:
Unami is reborn. The two big wetlands holes have been dramatically shortened. Three problematic holes have been deleted while three new ones have been added in various spots.
Unami now it's a bit closer to a typical community park level. Almost all the big elevation is still intact, distances not so much, in return for much greater active care and a more consistent course.
I think the two new upfront holes, located very visibly in the general park, are a great idea for luring the locals not already privy to the game, and by extension uDisc/DGCR, to easily behold at these Pagan Metal altars and perhaps inspire them to try the game out. That's how I started.
The big downhill, currently on loan from a Swiss ski slope somewhere in the alps, is still there but only 400' now. The next hole now starts nearby, it has been shortened into a slanted hyzer, from the long distance bomb it used to be. It still has the same uphill basket, tucked into the woods. These edits are fine by me, it avoids much of the perpetually soggy wetlands that were undermowed as well.
Tip: The big downhill has a concrete staircase to the right behind the rink/basketball if you have problems walking down steep slopes. Took me only six visits to notice it.
The rest of the course is forested and is mostly the old course with a new hole added and three gone -- the swamp hole is retired as are the two lost to thorny wineberry pickers.
The immediate next three are a bit of a precision game. #5 is a bit of a tight, left curved fairway. #6, a ways away, is a wider and straight-on tunnel shot. #7 is new. A gap upfront with a bunch of trees throughout to play DG Pachinko with until the basket far left.
#8 is the longer fairway with a huge boulder to zen out on and enjoy the view. #9 is a short but nice uphill, but nowhere as punishing return the big downhill made me anticipate.
+Great signs, great navigation, greater big paver tees, just a pleasing experience overall.
Cons:
There is little in the new Unami to complain about. All I recall is #7's sign having two pins but only the shorter basket being present.
A few people will remember of the Unami of old, a miniature Nockamixon, when the old upfront holes and the swamp hole seemed to have State Park level potential before superstorm Sandy hit. At the same time, I think the old layout had left the old course unbalanced, with unevel levels of play trying to attract a crowd that doesn't travel to play community niners. Now it's far more consistent throughout and kept.
-#3/4 and other areas might be soggy during wet seasons.
Other Thoughts:
Out of OOOOO discs:
Terrain: OOOo - Very good. A downhill seldom seen elsewhere locally and beautiful PA forest unmatched in most other community parks.
Execution: OOOo - Very Good. I had no major complaint and an easy time of it.
Upkeep: OOOo - Very Good.
Difficulty: OOo - Low intermediate. One of the more difficult community parks, requiring precision.
Fun Factor: OOOo - Very good.
Overall: OOOo - Excellent niner for initiated beginners and intermediates.
