local course Pros: good mix of holes, and there is new signs pointing you in the right direction from hole to hole, new baskets, and people the concrete is in, so chill ! its a great warm up for BD or Dretzka ! cool mando on hole 2, and a fair amount of holes that finish right, so forhanders get to shine sometimes ! since i am a forhand dominant player ! ohh and open all year!
Cons: mostly short holes untill u get to 13, (when at the far pin), the course is right next to the road and kinda could psych u out sometimes i guess if your not used to it
Other Thoughts: i play here almost everyday,its a fun course, i got my first ace this year there on hole 7, forehand, no skip far pin 194ft., unfortunately, this hole has now become my nemesis, ohh well i like esta anyways, gave it a 3

forehand friendly 
Pros: Nice and technical. fairs very well for a forehand player such as myself. good course to work on you mid-range game.
Cons: grass pads. but the concrete ones will be installed soon. usually busy.
Other Thoughts: garbage is a huge issue here. so do your part to pack in and pack out. and help keep it clean and pick up some garbage while you play theres plenty of garbage cans around.

Nice short course . . . location is key for a lot of people in the city. It should really help spread the traffic out a bit! 
Pros: 1) This course went in fast but just the right amount of trimming and cutting was done in my opinion. There are a coupel tight lanes to throw through and those should be preserved as long as possible. I am sure vandalism and disc traffic will lead to those openings becoming wider, but to start I think an awesome job was done preserving those lanes.
2) Course is a true par 3 course (54). All holes are reachable by me which I enjoy. While I do like to see legit par 4's and 5's on courses, I am also ok with a shorter course like this from a design standpoint especially because of its location. There wasn't the land to make any real par 4's, but this course is also very well suited to the college kids nearby and the beginners who might come out to a new course. I doubt this played any role in the design, but in the end it worked out great.
3) While most holes on 1-8 are anhyzers or RH flicks, the back 9 has a nice variety of straight and hyzers with a smattering of turnovers.
4) 1-8 are all simple shots with quite a few ace runs without much penalty, but that is when the course really gets going. 9 has a great perched basket, 10 is a short downhiller with an ace run risk/reward, 11 is a great left to right downhiller. 12-14 run through the densest part of the woods and 15-18 open back up to a dense canopy of large trees but not through tight woods. This variety is key to making this course as good as it is. If the whole thing were like 1-8 I would not be very impressed, but it gives you two courses almost. Go for aces on the first holes and then settle in and try to make as many pars with a couple birdies coming in.
5) Signs are rudimentary but at least they have something up for now.
6) Kiosk near 18 basket for information and a practice basket for warming up putts beforehand!
7) Beginner friendly, but with some challenge too, which I view as a real positive.
8) Locals are good guys and will most certainly be sure to keep the DBags in line.

Cons: 1) Temporarily a negative are the dirt teepads. They started as grass in most places, but are wore in to wet dirt already. There really is no good place to plant your foot within 5-8 feet of the 4x4 boards. Wood chips would be helpful to keep the slickness from being a problem. I will remove this CON when teepads are installed or muclh has been brought in to deter the mud from forming.
2) Many places where the clearing was done there are stumps sticking up 2-3" out of the ground. I know this will eventually will be taken care of but it is a negative for now because of safety hazard of puncturing your foot or tripping hazard.
3) Shot shaping is ok . . . they seem to favor lefties or rh annys or flicks. There is a little more variety on the last 10 holes but the first 8 set up with (1 hyzer tunnel shot, 2 straight shots and 5 anhyzer or flick shots).
4) I think the spot between 11 and 12 now could squeeze in a hole with minimal disruption to the other park users. There are about 10 picnic tables but it is not a designated picnic area. The reason I would like to see 1 or 2 holes added there is because the walk is so long between 11 and 12 and there is another opportunity for two hyzer holes there to help balance the shot shaping.
5) Mosquitos will be busy there. Right along the river, dense woods . . . bring the bug spray.
6) Safety an issue on a few tees and missed anny lines. Mostly on holes 1-8 but also on 16 tee you are at risk at being hit by a errant teeshot from 15. Safety is also an issue because of the stumps in the ground from the buckthorn removal. #3 tee is also very much in play from a tamahawk on #2. While I was there the local guys decided to make the mando for that hole throguh the tunnel and wrote it on the board. Immediately behind up we heard 4 tamahawks land so obviously they didnt understand.

Other Thoughts: I know this course is young and all the work was volunteer so I am basing my rating on what I expect of this course given a little bit of time to play it in. I know teepads will be accepted there as all the other county parks allowed them, they just wanted to make sure that none of the areas infringe on other activities and that everything is safe in the end. I like the course but the firs 8 holes are somewhat boring. It truly better get you warmed up by being accurate and racking up as many birdies as you can there before heading to the tougher back nine (10). The risk reward on this course is high because of the basket locations and fallaways on 9-11. The risk of hitting a particular tree and kicking into the brush is prevalent on multiple holes on this course, so you really want to pick the line with the least issues. All in all I did enjoy the course, but the teepads are a must especially with all that dense tree canopy. The mud will always be there because the sun never hits most of those tees.
I know that course will be well policed by the local guys because I know many of the people who will be there almost daily because of where they live.

Cons: -Holes are somewhat short but not too bad
-Bad directions on how to get from hole to hole (Expecially on how to get to hole #12.)
-Grass tee pads (they should be getting concrete teepads soon.)
-Some holes are too close to the street.
-Very seldomly can you find a garbage can

Other Thoughts: The course is brand new and a little shabby. If they get concrete tee pads and permenent sighns it would be a lot better.It shows a lot of promise if they fix it up a little. Overall it was a very enjoyable course.
