Pros: Park has a nice mix of rustic and groomed grounds. The foliage is coming to life and the the tree lines were quite diverse.
High on the challenge scale. To play this as a par 3 course (which it should be) will provide more often than not, a plus score.
Multiple hazards/obstacles. Expect plenty of low ceiling shots. Expect very tight lines. Expect not just hyzers and annys...but shaping flex lines and perhaps some touch sidearms, especially while carving the back nine.
Diverse front and back nine. The front is relatively open and the back is tight, tight, tight.
Clearly new baskets. The tee pads that are present are well laid and nicely sized. The "next tee" signs are very helpful.

Cons: This course still needs tee signs in a big way. They are coming, no doubt, but as the course stands today, it was difficult to navigate (even with the "next tee" signs in place).
The first 5 holes are blind, then many more blind holes are sporatically positioned. Some may not consider this a con. The point is this...without the tee signs, I had to walk many of the holes to locate the pin before I could tee off. This grew old quickly.
Even though the back nine winds through diverse foliage, the layout grew somewhat monotonous to me. It was thread the needle, over and over. I realize that there are many who love it like this...I am not one of them. IMO, a course can be wooded and technical, without feeling constricted (see Pike Lake). The distances for these holes were very much in accord with the density, however.

Other Thoughts: All in all, this is a nice effort with plenty of upside.
It's obvious, a lot of work has gone into this course. Paint Creek has the potential to be very good. I would rate it higher if the things that I expect are on the way were actually in place today...namely, the remaining tee pads (or permanent tee's of any kind), the much needed signage, allowing the course to season/beat-in, and perhaps a thining of the fairways in the back nine. However, I can only rate it in the condition it is in when I play it.
I will absolutely be back to this course to see how it progresses...and I will edit the rating accordingly.
