Windy and open 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 23, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course is installed on an old landfill. Mostly open fairways are hilly and grass covered. Town has unlimited supplies so all pins have a mulch circle around them. Long and short tees are well packed stone dust & wood framed. Basic tee signs aid with navigation but no hole diagrams or distances yet. Bathrooms/water are a bit of a haul unless you stop on the way into the park. Walking/biking trails are also within the park so keep an eye out for non-golfers. Ball golf driving range is useful when there are no ball golfers around.

Cons:

Being a landfill presents an occasional odor, depending on wind direction. Barking dogs in the dog park may be an issue for some people but only two holes are near it.

Other Thoughts:

The Town installed the back 9 tees. Some are not as well done as expected but the local club is working to improve them. Thorny rough in some areas. A few holes border on a wooded ravine and disc retrieval can be tricky. These are not cons IMO.
Awesome view of the Mohawk River on tee 9.
