Misleading Course Score 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

It was a very scenic park lots on interesting and cool waterfalls. Some really cool holes. Especially the first one down the ski slope.

Back 9 was a solid course. With actual lines to baskets and interesting ways of getting there.

Cons:

The front 9 was boarderline unplayable. Hole 1 and 2 where good holes using available space and trees to make them difficult holes in a reasonable fashion. The next holes 3-7 aren't really holes as far as I'm concerned. There is throwing in a highly wooded area which imo should allow for some sort of line to the hole to exist. Instead on some of those holes I was throwing into a highly tree dense forest with no possible way to get where I was going. Holes 8 and 9 brought us out of the forest and gave us some lines to throw so they where a welcome sight compared to what we had just been thru.

Tee pads? What tee pads? Finding the tee box at every hole was a chore as we searched around for the 2 colored stones about 4 inches long and 2 inches thick almost always grown over by grass.

Restrooms at this park and even in the surrounding area where practically non-exisistant.

Other Thoughts:

I was driving thru Canada on the way to the finger lakes in NY. I chose to stop at this course because of its stellar ratings. It wasn't worth the stop. Maybe if I would have just played the back 9 it would have been ok.

This course has a ton of potential thou the ground is so muddy thou it would require cement tees, a couple guys with chain saws, lots more signs clearly pointing to the next tee.
