Industrial Workers Suprise

Pros: The great thing about this course is the fact that if you work in the Northwest Indiana industrial sector, for instance, the BP refinery or Mittal (Inland) Steel, this is a great course to stop and practice on the way home from work.
Cons: Poor tees. Missing tee markers. Poorly placed tee markers. Old rusty baskets of various heights. Unattractive neighborhood. Holes too close to roads and playground. Frequent waiting for people on jogging path to get out of range.
Other Thoughts: Course actually flows pretty well but figuring it out the first time will take some time and you will make up your own tee for some of the holes. Convenient little practice course.

Pros: - Trees are nice - shady course (except 13-17)
- Grassy course. Mowed. Probably does not get too muddy during wet spells
- Short length and low challenge caters to beginners
- Variety of hole shapes keeps things interesting
- No potential for lost discs
- Most tees have signs. The ones that don't are tricky to find.

Cons: - Sketchy (unsafe?) neighborhood
- Parts of course hard to navigate. I could not find tee one, so I decided to play from the sidewalk by the course kiosk. Tee 13 is painted on the sidewalk after you backtrack from playing 12
- You play over sidewalks and picnic tables and close to a ballfield. I am doubtful there is a ton of traffic in the park, so this might not be a huge issue. But be aware.
- Baskets as old and run-down
- Not sure if they open the bathrooms - they seem like they have been locked for a long time.
- Natural tees are a con, but not a huge con as the holes are short enough where a huge run-up is not required. And they are not rutted out.

Other Thoughts: What I personally like and how this course stacks up in my list of 18 hole courses:
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == C-
(This course is very open. Impossible for a bad drive to cause you to take a 4....unless it is really bad and goes OB on a road.)
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == C+
(Most of the holes are too short and/or too open to feel rewarding.)
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == C+
(The design of some holes incorporate trees to force you to throw a certain line. Several tunnel shots.)
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == C-
(In a run down, old park and neighborhood. Not pretty and not secluded. There are lots of nice trees and it is grassy.)
5) Bonus points for multi-throw holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A
