Pros: - Dual Tees - Not only are there dual tees for most holes (8 and 9 only have one), they are now concrete. The AM tees are marked with a wooden post and the Pro Tees are marked with giant rocks that are painted. Not much variety between the holes.
- Holes 2 - 6 - Holes 2 and 3 start in the open and end in the woods. Holes 4 & 5 are completely in the woods. Hole 6 throws uphill from inside the woods to the basket which is in the open. However, holes 4 and 6 cross. These are great wooded holes that will challenge most golfers.
- Shot Variety - Great mix of open and wooded holes. The open holes have young trees planted on them which will add to the challenge in the future. Holes 3, 4, and 6, have slight elevation. No two holes were the same.
- Great use of available land.
- Great Baskets -
- Scorecards and Map - on sight.
- Course starts and ends at the same point.

Cons: - Crossing Fairways - Hole 1 crosses the path for Holes 7 and 8. The fairways for holes 4 and 6 cross at a near perpendicular angle. The fairway for hole 3 is crossed from the walk to hole 5. Hole 7 crosses Hole 1. And Hole 8 crosses hole 1. (I know I repeated but it can be dangerous and wait time can be added if multiple users are playing the course). On hole 1, don't throw to the first basket throw to the second one (behind the trees).
- Some holes need either moved or redesigned so they do not cross.
- Whoever made this course really went a little crazy with the "Mando" shots. There were 5 holes that had mandatory shots. Holes 3 and 6 shouldn't require these shots. However, they do add to the challenge and if the course was busy it would help to eliminate players on other holes as obstacles.

Other Thoughts: I was the only person at the course when I was playing, so the intersecting fairways did not effect me. If you do not take into account that holes cross, this is one hell of a 9 hole course. I can see how the more people playing this course, the more irritating and dangerous it can be.
There is not much variation between the Pro and Am Tees.
The wooded holes in my opinion took this course from a 2 or a 2.5 to a 3.
There looks like there is room to expand this course into Hummel Park with the addition of maybe 2-3 more holes.
I would recommend playing this course but preferably on a school day or a day where it will not be very busy.

Report this Review A fun round...
Pros: Well kempt. (Except for some ground clutter in the treed areas)
Readily accessible to major malls/eateries/entertainment et al.
Safe part of town
Clever usage of limited space (See Con* as well)
Plenty of parking
Available scorecards that have the distance and hole layout on the backside.
Something unique in that hole 9's basket has inlaid marker stones at 5 foot intervals round about it for practicing various length putts.

Cons: Dirt pads
*Overlapping fairways on 3 of the 9 holes
Could use some 'next tee' signs for first timers.

Other Thoughts: While the side of the property closest to the church itself is very flat, there is some slight elevation changes in the wooded backside of the property which demanded some precision shot making.
Overall, I had a good time at the course even though it wasn't very tough for an intermediate player such as myself. It's good to have a course for new players where they have a challenge; yet won't get overly discouraged.

I enjoy it! Other Thoughts: I thought that the open/ semi-open layout would be pretty good to do a night time shootout. Bust out some glow sticks and hit it!
P.S.- some rubber tees would be a pretty big improvement if concrete is to expen$ive.
