I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 14, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The challenge here is not from elevation (there is none) or trees (there are some). It's from staying in bounds between the winding sidewalks while negotiating the strong winds. The winds made me think more than I usually need to in New England.
The trees aren't tall - the pines look like they've been ehre awhile but the other squat shrub/trees look newish - but you negotiating them adds some challenge while considering the wind direction.

Hole 14 had used the sidewalk configurations in a cool way where you had a narrow fairway and then a disconnected island green that you couldn't reach with your drive (unless you're superhuman), requiring a long, accurate drive followed by a big approach that properly factors the wind.

Tee pads are concrete and trapezoidal, so no confusion about what direction you're throwing. Tee signs are pretty good.

There are multiple pin locations on most holes (only one in use at any time).

Cons:

I couldn't see the basket on a lot of holes without walking halfway up the fairway, partially because the baskets are all dull gray. With multiple pin locations, this got a little complicated to figure out.

No elevation.

Navigation was okay, but you'll need the map. I took a picture of the map at the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, they seem to have made the most of the park they had to work with. While there are other park users (walkers, mainly), I didn't find much opportunity for interference. Good place to throw a round.
