Pros: - I've played this course twice now, and I feel like it has a good variety. As mentioned before, the front nine is out in the open while the back nine is wooded. But, aside from that, there are holes that sit atop hills where you have to take rolling discs into account. There are longer holes - one that even exceeds 800 feet. There are holes that put a small creek in play. One in particular has the creek framing the right boundary of your drive, but you actually have to throw your approach shot through an opening in trees to reach the basket on the other side of the creek. On the back nine, there are holes that go uphill, some that go downhill, and one that even partially hides the basket behind a group of large rocks/boulders. The course really seems to have a little of everything.
Cons: - It can't be said enough: the homosexual liaisons continue to be an issue. We saw many of the same cars circling the park again and again, parking, guys getting out and walking into the woods, etc. The police came through once during our round, causing one guy to rush back to his car and hightail it out of the park. Hopefully with some more foot traffic, this problem will die down some.
Other Thoughts: - To give you a feel about how the course is laid out:
You've got the lake (which is separated from the park by a fence) at the outer edge of the park. The 800+ foot hole is next to the lake. The creek then runs parallel to the lake, and a few of the front nine holes run along the other side of the creek. Then, you've got a good-sized hill that has the last three front-nine holes atop it. The back nine goes further up the hill and meanders through the woods.

Pros: The most memorable feature of the course is that the terrain is so different between the front 9 and the back 9 that it's like playing two distinctly different courses. The front 9 is relatively open with some trees and lots of OB while the back is in the woods, so there should be something here for everyone to enjoy.
The tee signs on the front 9 are among the best I've ever seen! They're innovative boxes with plexiglass fronts so the excellent hole maps can be easily replaced or changed as needed.
On the front 9 there's tons of risk vs. reward from OBs (mainly from the park roads) so you have to play smart. You'll be rewarded by keeping the disc in play, even if your shot is shorter.
There's good length variety with 4 long holes over 400 ft. Long layout: 2<199/ 8<299/ 4<399/ 2 of 400-499/ 1 of 655/ 1 of 821.
Little yellow arrows throughout the course make it really easy to navigate the course.

Cons: The course was still new when I played it, but it needed tee signs on the back 9.
The park roads add a real OB hazard, but to me the roads detract from the natural beauty of the course.
There are also many potential safety issues on 8 holes from proximity to the park roads and pavilions.
The park has a reputation as a place for gay liaisons.

Other Thoughts: Course Level: Blue (best for 950 Rated players)
Course Difficulty: 9 out of 10. It's pretty long.
My favorite hole- 14. It's in the woods with scenic terrain, a challenging S shaped fairway, downhill, and a well defined fairway.
You be the judge…
Fairway variety (Long layout) - 6 Straight/ 2 Left/ 8 Right / 2 S shape. Good to have 2 S shaped holes, but dogleg right holes predominate. Lefties should like that.

Pros: It is like 2 different courses between the front 9 and back. The back 9 is more challenging that will go between the trees; some are thin shots and a thumber or overhead worked the best. 2 of these wooded back 9 (#11) is long uphill and only about 20-25' wide, and the basket is tucked behind trees to the left.
Cons: back 9 is not marked other than a number post, and the front 9 could be more challenging.
Other Thoughts: Overall it is a nice course. I do agree with the last review there is a good bit of hokie cars sitting around (all men; looks like Homosexual Sex soliciting) seriously. On mid afternoon I saw at least 12-14 and other slow drive throughs.

Pros: Front 9 and Back 9 are like 2 different courses. Challenging course with some long holes. On the back 9 you need to use a variety of shots to make it.
Cons: Several Holes were just long drives with a straight fairway (with some obstacles) and then a sharp turn at the end. Those types of holes got a little monotonous. Some wierd "activity" goes on at this park. Not violent or criminal but wierd traffic (Homosexual Sex soliciting, parking) seriously. Local police backed this course for that reason. To get more good traffic in this park to hopefully cut down on wierd stuff like that.
