Reviewed: Played on:Jul 5, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long-n-wide concrete teepads. Some elevation change most holes. Not far from petrol/food options - Granny's, a few blocks earlier on Valley View, was quite good.

Cons:

Single tee/basket Signs missing on 1,8,9. The signs that were there directly abutted the back of the tee!

Other Thoughts:

Course plays on the open/sparsely-/densely-wooded slopes of a small public park. The first three holes have very fair throwing lanes with some large hardwoods to avoid. Holes 4 & 6 are very sharp-turning (right=4, left-6), with tons of thick brush on both sides - hopefully you'll have a spotter. 5 and 8 are similar - somewhat uphill, short, thickly-wooded the entire way, difficult (5) impossible (8) throwing paths. #7 is long and uphill, woods on right but open on left, while the finale brings you back down the hill, again keeping the woods on the right.

Navigation hints: Tee-1 to right of bathroom. Tee -2 slight right from basket-1. Tee-3 hard right from basket-2. To find tee-4 walk past basket-3 towards play area, follow paved path to the right. After it bends left and ends, there is a line of trees in front of you, and a small bridge - cross it, turn left, find tee-4 to right. Find a small path to the left of basket-4, then make a very hard left to find tee-5. Go left from basket-5 and downhill to find tee-6. Follow obvious path from basket-6, turn right at T-junction, find tee-7. Obvious path from basket-7 to tee-8, exit basket-8 to left and find tee-9. Cross bridge, a few steps left, then up small path through trees/brush to find back of parking lot.
