Pros: Murray Park is a good park given the property. The course offers two sets of tees, Red and Blue. Trees are used well making some tee offs and approaches challenging. Some holes, particularly hole 9 use elevation well. The course is well marked with signs at the tee of each hole and a large map near the first tee. The park is easy to find from the highway. This course is better for beginners than the other park in Ripon, Riggs Park.
Cons: The tee boxes are inconsistent in terms of distances. Most of the blue tees are the longer tees but not always. The tee boxes are grass but use has worn them to dirt which can be muddy after a rain storm. The course flows through a park which often hosts banquets, picnics, and baseball tournaments on weekends. This can be tedious, sometimes impossible, to play on some of the holes near the playground equipment or the ball diamonds. The course flows like a figure 8 and it is possible to get mixed up between holes if you haven't played the course before or haven't read the map.
Other Thoughts: This course is fun to play if there isn't anything else happening in the park. The parking lot is near the 6th hole but the 1st tee is by the pavilion at the top of the hill. Rearranging the tees, namely making one set always the longest, would be the best improvement to this course

Pros: 1) Nice signage and nice baskets. Tees are all marked with sunken solored stepping stones. I LIKE THAT THE TEESIGNS ARE ABOUT 8 FEET UP THE POST SO VANDALISM IS LESS OF AN ISSUE.
2) Beginner friendly . . .holes are too challenging or too long. The two long holes help to get the beginner to try and figure out a max effort drive.
3) Well placed trees and baskets create a handful of different shot making requirements. Some hyzer holes, some turnover holes, a couple of line drive midranges ace runs, and a couple up or down hills.
4) Pretty well designed course for the property. It used the elevation changes well, it used the sections of trees to its benefit.
5) #7 is a good hole with a gap to shoot through and a few trees guarding the basket. #3 is a nice ace run down the hill and short. #5 is another great ace run ( I ran mine about 2 inches high and it shot up over the top of the basket! I couldnt even salvage my birdie because it was about 35' away).

Cons: 1) The design should not have had the tee color change from forward and back. The reds should always be forward and the white/blue should always be further back. This is a problem with consistancy course to course and it will only lead to confusion. If you must play 18 holes play the forwards and then the backs rather than mixing the tees up by color instead!!!
2) Grass tees will deteriorate quickly. I would rather see concrete of course, but level packed gravel is ok as long as it isn;t loose!
3) Course overlaps with walk paths and a few other activities. It isn't the worst I have seen, but it is worth noting. Just be aware of the people and activities around you.

Other Thoughts: Not a bad little course for a medium ized town. It gives the more park feel than the other new course at Riggs Park. This is a much more beginner friendly course, but it can offer some challenge to some better players too, while also being exciting by having a couple real good ace runs!
My biggest issue with this course is the tee setup. Straighten that out and my opinion would improve. It doesnt affect the rating a lot, but it is just goofy especially for a new player.
It doesn't have the most challenging setup but it does offer some shot making requirements on most holes.

Pros: Tee signs excellent.
#6 a very nicely designed hole for 215 feet.
#4 an excellent hole with length from red tee.
From long tees, this course has more length and requires better shot making skills than most nines. Fresh, new course, installed by someone with a feel for the modern game/design. Not crazy tough, and two sets of tees definitely allow rec/am players to have an enjoyable experience. However, from long tees, there is enough yardage and shot making required to provide an enjoyable experience for more advanced discers.

Cons: Natural tees with paver stones marking end of tee area. I do not mind this; and prefer it to gravel tees. However, all natural tee settings eventually end up rutted and muddy after rain.
Other Thoughts: Parking area puts you at tee #6. Tee #1 is located behind pavilion near tennis courts.
