tile teepads...

Pros: holes were wide open for power distance drives. there was an aceable hole on number 4. also 8 i think it was, is a cool short and sharp dogleg to the right. baskets were nice. signs for the holes were pretty handy.
Cons: tile teepads were cracking and overall just janky. i slipped on hole 5 because of the cracked raised one and it tore a hole in my shoe. on half the holes i would tee off in the grass next to the pad.

generally a wide open course. a few trees but nothing much. power drives are key here.

playground in with the course. also some runner trails too that could pose a problem if you were to hit one. street runs right along the side of hole one.
Other Thoughts: probably wont ever be back. would only play if in the area.

Pros: Great course for the beginner. Very forgiving.
Cons: Fewer obstacles than other places.
Other Thoughts: This is where i learned to play, and it works well for every skill level. For the beginner, it allows the opportunity to make mistakes and still get back on track. For the more experienced, there are still obstacles and challenges to get in the way.
Great memories of playing this course.

Pros: -Nice baskets
-Signs with distance, hole # and general direction of basket
-Portable bathroom at start/finish
-Easy to follow layout
-Holes 7 and 8 had a different feel than the rest of the course and were very enjoyable
-Doubles Monday nights
-Right next to a state park
-Practice basket before first tee
-Good for a very quick 9
-A little use of elevation
Cons: -Too much distance for most
-Not many obstacles
-Tee boxes cracking and crumbling. I found it better to throw off to the side of some.
-Many holes not very original and/or hard, not many trees and no water.
-Only parking is on street
-Has playground that could come in play on 6 and an exercise loop/equipment that could on many holes
-Most holes play to RHBH- most players so that eliminates even more challenge
Other Thoughts: A decent course that was well designed with the land available. An overall better maintained course than South Park, also in town. South Park may be a little more of a challenge. I would recommend a stop if you would like to experience a quick nine at a new course.

Pros: - A great course to work on your drives. Lots of longer holes to let 'er rip!
- A good use of the land available.
- Good practice basket area for working your putting game.
Cons: - Very RHBH/LHFH biased. Hole 8 is more of a "leftie" hole...but other than that, if you aren't RHBH/LHFH with a BIG drive, you're more than likely in for a LONG round.
- Tee pads are in very rough condition, plus they get slick when wet.
- Not a great deal of diversity. Most holes, you can miss your line off the tee by 50+ feet and you're fine. A little TOO open on some holes.
Other Thoughts: A fun course to play a quick 2-3 rounds of nine. More hole diversity would be nice, but with the way the land and course lays out, it makes complete sense why the course looks/plays like it does.

 Open course, well designed

Pros: Many wide open holes, moderate obstacles. Good distance variety. Makes use of wooded area very well. Maps were clear. Open environment was welcoming.
Cons: An information booth would be helpful.
Some tee pads were cracked/rough.
Though the holes were not difficult, possibly frustrating for beginners due to distance.
Other Thoughts: This course stands out in that you can actually drive on the majority of the holes. It would get a 3 rating regularly, but most courses are not open with minimal obstacles - very enjoyable to work on/show off power drives!

Pros: * Nice course for distance throwers
* Agree the designer did what he could with available space
* State park next door
*Holes nicely marked
*New baskets
Cons: * Street parking
* Tee boxes need attention
Other Thoughts: Hole 8 is the signature hole. I've never played a hole like that one and I enjoyed it. I would play this course more often if I lived closer. Worth your time if in the area

Pros: There is something about this course that I like but I just cant figure out what it is. Its pretty open but I feel the designer did the best he could with what he had. Pretty good mixture of long and short holes(Although more long than short) and a couple creative holes. If I lived in the area I would play this course frequently.
Cons: Only nine holes and its pretty open. It co-exists with a lot of other park like things. Tee boxes could use a little help.

Pros: A pretty good course design given the room available. Has nice signage showing the distance to each basket and basic layout. Most fairways are what I would guess is typically nicely mowed grass. Teepads are pavers, some in better condition than others but none were unreasonable or unplayable. Check your plant foot area before driving.

Has a few pretty good holes given the limitations of the park. Hole 8 is probably the signature hole. 264 feet with a row of bushes in front of the teepad. Plays like a steep anhyzer for the rhbh thrower. Most holes however are pretty basic in design but much longer than you would expect, with 4 of the 9 holes being over 400 feet. Fairways are pretty free of obstacles on most holes.

Has a putting basket labeled number 10.
Cons: Like I mentioned above most holes are just long and sort of straight. Hole 2 is a good example. 360 feet and just a long slow hyzer. Most are just straight. Hole 6 plays very near a playground. Also it has a biffy near the landing area for a reasonable drive

There is a workout station-to-station thing that follows the outside of the park. It does come very near play areas in a few places. Do those things ever see use?
Other Thoughts: Has a Monday evening doubles league. Looks like it sees low-moderate use. Parking is on the street.

Although I seem to be a bit down on this course, with better teepads it would be a very nice place to get a quick round or 2 in and practice both putting and driving after.
