Pros:
Course is a beginner to intermediate level course set in a large multi use park that surrounds a lake. Holes are marked 10-18 to complete an 18 hole layout starting at East park.
Baskets - 9 chain star baskets that catch great. List the hole numbers on them.
Tees - 1 natural tee per hole made of mud. Grass is starting to wear away where tees are but its newer so tees are even harder to find than East park.
Signs - Each tee is marked with 2 while blocks flushed with ground level. When legible, one marker lists the hole number and par, the other has a map that includes distance, terrain, and location of next hole.
Variety - No two holes were the same. 10 and 13 are uphill. 12 is downhill. The rest are flat. Multiple mature and pine trees on holes to help shape lines. Most baskets are guarded.
Very different than the front 9.
Easy to save par on every hole.
Starts and ends at same spot near parking lot which is technically outside of the park.
A few picnic tables, trash cans, restrooms, and a playground were on site.
Land was used very well. There is room to expand.
Scenic park with great views of the lake. Peaceful.
9 additional holes on other side of lake.
Cons:
Just like the East park, regardless of the solid play of the course, new players will spend more time playing "Find the next tee" than they will playing the hole. Signs on the holes were flushed with the ground. Could only read the hole on a few holes. Even though this is newer, signs starting to fade. Course needs tee markers that are not flushed with the ground that you can see from a distance. That alone will enhance the play.
Spent a long amount of time looking for the first tee (hole 10) so started at hole 11. Took 5 minutes to find 13. Never found 17. Ended up finding tee for 10 after playing hole 18.
No signs pointing you to the back 9 once heading to other side of park. You need to leave the park, take a few lefts, and go park near basketball courts to be able to start at the start of this course. No signs pointing you to where course starts.
Only one tee per hole. Tees were natural, would not cost much money to add second set.
Newer course so natural tees are still mostly grass. Definitely starting to wear away which is a plus but still hard to find.
Course desperately needs a map, better signs at each hole, and next hole arrows in between holes to help with first time players. Really took away from the actual play of the course.
Hole 10 borders a barbed wire fence, can lose discs in there.
Other Thoughts:
Just like with East park, This was a great starter course but needs improvement. I also wanted to give it a 2.5 but had such a difficult time finding the next tee on a few holes (10, 13, 17) So I couldn't give it that.
With better /visible signs, an added tee per hole, and picnic tables being moved out of the fairway, this 9 hole course could easily be a 2.5, maybe a 3 out of 5.
If considering east and west park a full 18, I would rate the 18 holes a 3 out of 5 due to the same issues (poor signs, 1 tee per hole, find that tee, etc) on the west course as the east course. West park has a completely different feel than east park but the issues carry over. With these improvements, the 18 could be a 3.5 out of 5 but no more.
If in the area, would definitely recommend the course but use the map on this site. One will still spend time looking for the tees but it does help. It was not too far from the highway and could get a quick round in.
