Other Thoughts:

Enjoyed a late October afternoon round during peak leaf season. The backdrop of the reservoir around the brightly colored trees make this course pop in Autumn Glory. It's a beautiful park and the course is spread across a wonderful tract of land.

A solid mix of technical wooded lines sprinkled with some long open holes provide good shot variety. Overall the average hole lengths play to the intermediate skill level, but the tight lines required on most holes will create a fun challenge for most skill levels.

The course has concrete tee pads, post and panel signs at each hole with two basket positions available allowing for even more variety on the layout. The baskets are green Prodigy models and the color can blend into the landscape at times. Navigation was a touch tricky at first since there is some minor criss-crossing and backtracking required. Navigation is helped out by "next tee" arrows on all tee signs and tape on the baskets. After the first 4 or 5 holes it became much easier to find my way, but I did have to pull the map up a few times to be sure.

Good amount of elevation, and wonderful terrain. You'll be walking near the water's edge initially, and the course weaves it's way around a few distinct sections of the park. Holes 1 and 18 are right near the parking area so it forms a convenient loop. It's in a fairly primitive park area so traffic is minimal and peaceful serenity is maximized.

It's a fun course where I mostly threw mids and fairways with a handful of holes allowing for the distance drivers to come out and play. A touch basic overall, and would benefit from restroom facilities, and some picnic tables. Would not hesitate to throw this one again.

Really nice park, good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tees, tape on baskets and good signage directing you between holes, variety of distances and elevation change, solid usage of the space provided. Really enjoyed the wooded portion for the most part and that part of the Course will only get better as it matures.

Cons:

Still pretty raw areas on the wooded holes, though that's to be expected on a newer course. The park section was hard to navigate without signs, multiple times i was standing on a tee not sure which direction to throw. I won't count lack of tee signs as a negative in my score because course is still young.

Other Thoughts:

I had an enjoyable round overall, there's a hand full of holes that I really enjoyed (2,12-13,16-18) some of those with pin placements that left me deliberating on the tee which line to try. Hole 5 and 6 were perplexing, 5 taking a pretty much 135° angle and 6 with a very bad tee pad. Also listing hole 18 as a par 3 seems a little crazy given the maybe unnecessary Mando. The park being closed and having to park right by the street was weird also.I started on hole 12 and thru 18 was really enjoying the round, but the park holes fell a little flat for me, some strange distance choices and shapes at times IMO. A few holes felt really short that would have been more interesting a bit longer, then you'd throw a hole that need pro power to even have a putt, not a lot in between.Good time overall through, I wouldn't make a long drive to come, but I'd definitely play it again if I'm in the area.
