Fun Course

Pros: This course is a good mix of wooded and open. There are plenty of dueces out there but some holes that play 350+. The course can be played fairly quickly with no real chance of losing a disc except in the water. Good concrete tee pads and not much walking trail traffic to contend with.
Cons: I busted my butt on 13's teepad today because it is fairly short and you have to step up about 6 inches if you plan to run up. The lake/pond is gross and if you go in there, you will most likely not be getting it out. When it rains a lot holes 2 and 7 can be closed due to flooding which creates long walks between 1&3 and 6&8.
Other Thoughts: Can be difficult in the wind but a good course if you are looking to improve your overall game. Decent elevation change and not the same hole over and over again. A bit away from the other courses in Bowling Green but if you are down for a weekend a must hit on a BG trip.

Pros: This is a fun course to test some of your throws but not be overly challenged. I really enjoyed the mix of open-to-wooded/ challenging holes, instead of all woods or all open.
We started on the back 9 when I played, and I would suggest you do the same on your first time out, or anytime for that matter :)
The back nine is much more open with a few rolling hills and some errant trees to at least give some obstacles to avoid, but not much more challenge than that(except for those BG winds).
The front nine is a pleasant excursion around the park, starting in the tall woods and exiting over a creek which hugs the right fairway of hole #2. For the next 6 holes, the large lake will either have some water in play or at least be in sight, and also causing yet more wind :) These holes offer a nice variety here, from hillside ace runs to downhill alley with an OB funnel on the sides.
Cons: Navigation -- I was in a tourney, but was looking for signage for next tees. Some of these would have been very tricky for a first-timer.
Too many wide open holes, fun but not enough challenge for a remarkable design.
Other Thoughts: A fun course that will let you warm up the arm and putter on the back and tickle your disc bone on the front. Enjoyed this one!

Pros: The best thing about this course was the many holes that were challenging and beautiful. It combines water and O.B. in such a way that you can't just open up and throw, it cause you to be accurate. A lot of birdie chances.
clean park but multi use.
Cons: Many of the teepads need to be replaced or extended.
Pretty short course but laid out well.
the upper holes (12-17) are very open and don't really pose a threat.

 This one surprised me

Pros: We played this course as the last of a 72-hole day trip through Bowling Green. To be honest, I was ready to skip it. It was about 95 degrees and my dogs were killin' me. I'm glad we played it.

There is a variety of holes and terrain changes like I've never seen on a single course. It is truly unique. The lake is very pretty. Tees and signs were good, but we had trouble locating a few holes.
Cons: I've never seen a course built right in the middle of a park this busy. There are two holes right in the middle of an ampitheater! What do you do when a performance is going on?

On one of the water holes, I threw a beautiful shot that went out over the water, anhyzered back toward land, and was fading back left, right toward the pin.....and then some kid playing nearby decided that I was throwing it to her and she was supposed to catch it!

The other drawback is the difficulty (or lack thereof). Beginners will likely enjoy the back 9's easier holes, but might be frustrated and lose discs around the lake. Experienced players will enjoy the challenge in the front 9, but may find themselves a bit bored during the back 9.
Other Thoughts: If you can play this course when the park isn't jammed full of people, it's a good round of golf. When the trees on the back 9 fill out, it will be even better.

Pros: The front 9 on this course is as good as you will play anywhere. Lots of water. #2 is my favorite hole anywhere. Most of the holes are fairly short and a well placed midrange will give you a 2. A few holes on the front have pro tees that you can play and if you play #3 from the pro tees it's a really great hole that you have to throw way out over the lake and hyzer back in to the basket. The front 9 requires some really technical shots that you wouldn't normally throw.
Cons: The back nine is very lacking. It has a bunch of planted trees that are too young to cause any problems. I played the other day and had six 2's on the back with only one 4 and that was just due to 3 bad throws. Only 3 holes even require a driver and they are pretty much wide open.

If you don't like losing a disc you won't like all of the water on the front nine. If you play if more then a time or 2 you are going to spash one.
Other Thoughts: As I said, great front nine. Meeeh back nine. If the back nine was a good as the front it would get a 4.5 rating. You can easily shoot in the 40's on the course. It's pretty hard to make very many bogey's on the back nine.

Pros: This course has a variety of tight shots and open shots. Also has varying distance holes. Course is well maintained.
Cons: Some/most of the teepads are shorter than normal and are not even with their surrounding surface so it can affect the approach when driving. A bit hard to find number 7 if you're new to the course. Back 9 is really packed in there. I would imagine that in a heavy tourney situation, it would present a pretty big problem, but maybe that's why they don't usually use this course for tourney events.
Other Thoughts: I like the course because it's close to my house and offers a good challenge to beginners and pros.
