Youngs Run is located in a nice, kind of out of the way park and now has been developed into a full 18 hole course.
The course itselfs takes full advantage of the limited elevation available providing most holes with at least a slight change and a few with alot.
This course is mostly a technical wooded course but there are a few holes that you can really open up on (2, 7, 14 and 18)
The course is very well balanced between left and right turning holes and has a good variety in distances ranging from just over 100' to 500' (I did not duece the short one, Doh!) Additionally there is decent shot shaping required on all but two holes.
On most of the holes on the course there are two tees and on a hand full of holes there are two pins. The pins are distinctly marked with the shorts being bright orange, the longs bright blue and the holes without two are silver. This is always nice so that you can mix up your rounds.
Great use of the creek/stream/river. It comes into play on 4 holes with three of them crossing it.
There is an abundance of fun shots on this course. 5's putt with a massive drop off behind. 1's top of the world bomb to the blue pin and 16 in general is a very pretty hole with young trees defending a raised pin.
Form the short tees this would be a good course for Rec/Intermediate players with the Long tees providing ample challange to more advanced players.
After hole 7 you can transition over to the
Kent State 9 hole convenietly located right across the street to get in a 27 hole round.
The tee signs are very nicely done and course navigation is pretty intuitive.
