Pros: (1) This course is pretty new, but the lines and shapes seem like a much older course (which is a good thing).
(2) Clear lanes on each hole and the pars seem very fair, requiring the ability to throw some long and accurate shots throughout.
(3) The beauty of this course is really in the back nine, where you go down and play near a stream that runs through the park.
(4) Plenty of room for more holes.

Cons: (1) Natural tee pads. While these are some of the flattest natural tee pads I have seen, they are getting worn in and muddy and the course isn't even a year old. Some crushed gravel, or fly pads, or concrete would really help.
(2) Course appears biased to the left-handed player with a lot of right turning holes throughout.

Other Thoughts: Hole 1: Nice long uphill par 3 with a road OB on the right to watch out for.
Hole 2: Another long uphill par 3. A couple lanes present as you negotiate the trees in the middle.
Hole 3: This is a nice long open par 3 that makes a right turn and necks down into a lane. Neat layout. Pin is ticked in to the right.
Hole 4: Here you throw out of a tunnel and the road comes in from the right presenting an interesting OB penalty.
Hole 5: Here you throw down a big open lane to a pin tucked left and guarded by some older trees.
Hole 6: This is a long wider tunnel drive around some big trees. While the main line appears straight down the middle, there is also a RHBH hyzer line if you throw out towards the pavilion.
Hole 7: Is a shorter (than the previous holes) slight right turning drive.
Hole 8: Here is a shorter, wide tunnel with a basket tucked to the right.
Hole 9: This is a long, tight tunnel that bends lazy right. Keep track of your throw as a disc that creeps too far off to the left is going off of a cliff that drops about 40 feet straight down.
Hole 10: Still in the same tight tunnel track as 9. This is a sharper right turn.
Hole 11: This hole is a spectacular downhill ace race pin. Beautiful tunnel throw, nice trees, an old building, and a babbling brook in your view. Prettiest and most memorable hole on the course.
Make sure you turn left after this hole to find Hole 12.
Hole 12: This is a sweet S turn left par 4. It has a nice open front end, then tightens up as it Ss back to the right for a finish. Water very much in play to the left on your approach.
Hole 13: Another nice S turn left par 4. This is a bigger hook of a drive, then it Ss back to the right for a finish that is tucked in close to the stream. Don't go long.
Hole 14: This is a really tight right turning throw, out of a tunnel, through an open spot to a pin protected by a small creek and some saplings. Neat old electric building on the left.
There is a long walk between 14 and 15 down the paved jogging path.
Hole 15: This has a short opening run-up that present two lanes to throw into across the stream. If you can get it out of the lanes and into the open space beyond, you should have a nice approach to leave a short birdie putt.
Hole 16: This is a treed in shot where you need to navigate large old growth trees and an earthen wall on the left. Pin deep in a hollow where the earthen wall meets the stream.
Hole 17: This is a shorter tunnel right turn. Big water hazard left as the stream is close to the throw the whole way through.
Hole 18: This is a longer open field par 3. Drive out of a wide tunnel exit and into an open field.
Long walk from 18 back up the paved jogging path, then uphill to hole 1. There is plenty of space to add more holes back here, and it looks like this may be part of the design.

Report this Review Distance+Accuracy = Tomlinson Run
Pros: Baskets - newer course and the baskets are obviously newer. Nice Chainstar baskets.
Challenge - while I'm pretty new, I think experienced players will enjoy the challenge this course presents.
Scenery - beautiful park with about half the course playing along a shallow creek.
Amenities - restrooms, garbage cans present and in good condition, park offers plenty of other activities too.

Cons: Layout - There are some holes that are pretty tight to each other and some of the tee areas are really close to the previous basket. Holes 4,5, and 6 present a real possibility of hyzering into traffic (see more below). It's a bit of a long walk back to the parking lot, but at least its a nicely paved trail.
Tee Pads - there aren't any tee pads or even toe boards, I don't know if there are plans for them to be installed or not but toeboards would probably be adequate. Most of the tee areas were flat and free of roots, but on a couple holes I wasn't entirely sure which side of the tee sign was inteded as the tee area.

Other Thoughts: This is a really nice park and a very solid course. It offers about 7 long par 3's right off the bat that will require distance and accuracy to have a chance at par. Most of these holes have a few trees scattered about that will require you to hit your line to maximize the distance.
Holes 8-10 are a bit more wooded in the form of tunnel shots. 9 and 10 add a steep cliff down to the creek along the left side creating some tense moments while watching the disc flight (especially for us RHBH throwers without a solid FH). Get off the fairway on these holes and it could be a pretty rough second shot.
Hole 11 is a really sweet, short hole (shortest on the course). The tee sits atop a cliff with the basket nestled in the valley nearly tucked behind a tree. I almost skipped a shot into the basket on this one.
Holes 12-18 play through the woods and are pretty standard wood holes with just a touch of individuality to each. There is some decent distance on these holes, but you'll likely have to hit a tree gap to get into a good upshot/long birdie position off the tee. 14 is a pretty nice anhyzer shot near what looked like an old mill.
I was a bit concerned with my throws off the tee on 4-6 because they could easily have hyzered into the road. The roads aren't too busy, but cars travel fast on them so I'd recommend being mindful of this and wait for a break in traffic. I don't think the park gets too much play (we did see maybe 3 groups out) but some of the tighter holes/fairways could be hazardous to players if a disc gets away from some one.
I know distance and accuracy are key skills for a well rounded player, but this course really seemed to put a premium on the two coexisting. Some courses seem to focus on one or the other by having tightly wooded holes that are short or long holes in open fields. Tomlinson Run does a really nice job of blending the requirement of the two skills together. A lot of the holes will appear similar but they all seemed to play unique.
I really enjoyed the round I played at Tomlinson Run and look forward to heading back in the spring time. This course will present a good challenge to those lacking distance and accuracy. However, if you can consistently hit your lines and have a good arm you'll be rewarded with birdie (and even eagle) chances. I definitely recommend hitting up this course whether you're experienced or newer to the game.

Tough Course
Pros: Once you get to the first hole there is a wooden box that has a nice map and scorecard that you can take. The signs are pretty good and it makes getting from hole to hole pretty easy. The back nine is a lot of fun back in the woods.
Cons: The first hole was a little tricky to find, but once you find it the signs are good to get through the rest of the course. The natural tees aren't really worn down at all, but if the course sees more traffic they will get leveled off and worn down some. The only other con was the walk from the end of 18 back to the parking lot. It isn't the worst walk I've had, but it is a bit of a hike up the road to the parking lot.
Other Thoughts: I'm surprised this course hasn't been played more or had any reviews written.
Holes 1-7 are simple, level holes that make a circle around the pool near the parking lot. They are a bit tougher than they would seem because they are a little long(Some over 400 feet) and there are some trees in the way so you can't just fire away.
Holes 8-10 are still pretty level but they take you into the woods where you have to navigate some tight spots through the trees.
Hole 11 is a fun hole that tees off from the top of a 10-15 foot cliff. The hole takes you down into a small valley with a creek runnng through it.
Hole 12 is runs beside the creek, it opens up a little bit and you have some distance to cover to get to the hole.
Hole 13 runs you back through the same field that you had to travel across on 12. With a couple of big trees in the way, it makes for an interesting drive.
Hole 14 is another cool hole that has you shoot out of the woods across a small clearing into another patch of woods. There is an old building in the clearing that you have to shoot past.
There is another short walk to get to hole 15.
Hole 15 makes you shoot across the stream that the course plays beside. If you dont hit any trees the stream doesn't really come into play, but it is still a neat tee shot for this hole.
Holes 16-18 criss-cross through a small wooded area with another small clearing.
After 18 you finish near a mini golf course and have to take the road back up to the lot.
