Pros:
- Enough forest to add challenge but not frustration
- Good infrastructure for course in the park. i.e parking, paths, mowed grass, roads, rangers
- Great views of water and nice breeze
Cons:
- Busy because it's a good course
- 1 dinker hole (you'll know the one)
Other Thoughts:
Course is great especially considering they didn't lop down sweet mother nature to make it. They left in some old growth fallen logs, so you can tell they understand the film fern gully.
Course designer kept giving everyone finger guns like non-stop and asking if we had a "tea time". He had a mug of yerba matte, so that was the joke but the finger guns combined with his tiny black spectacles were very intimidating. Eventually apathetic golfers behind us would answer him with a nervous laugh while he finger gunned them relentlessly and left his matte on every hole.
