+ 9 holer with two sets of tees to make it an 18. Most of the alternate tees create news angles, and the lengths are often different enough to re-think your choice of disc, so it comes pretty close to being an "18 hole course" with only 9 baskets


+ Pretty municipal park setting, and after the 1st hole, you cross a creek and spend the rest of the time separated from other park activities


+ Mix of open and wooded holes, with surprisingly dense wooded holes midway through each 9

+ Good use of available elevation with a mix of uphill, downhill, sidehill holes

- I guess if there's much traffic on the course, you'll have problems because you're doing two loops using the same baskets

~ If you're playing 18, I suggest you swap the last hole (9 and 18) in order to finish your round with a par 4 closer. They're both good, but it's just my personal preference to have a longer final hole


~ The first tee is a bit of a walk from the main parking lot (walk down the path past the tennis courts. But as I was finishing up, I noticed an alternate parking lot near the final basket. To use it, travel a bit farther North on Manada Gap Road


~ Back when I used to play golf with sticks and balls, I enjoyed municipal courses. They were less formal and cheaper than other public courses. They could be crowded and weren't particularly memorable, but they provided adequate challenge for playing multiple rounds. East Hanover reminded me of a "muni" golf course in every good way: playing on a quiet summer weekday morning, this course did exactly what it's designed to do: it's a pretty and varied layout in a town park that's easy to play, good for newbies and fun for experienced players


COURSE AMENITIES:
Excellent signage, 18 poured concrete tees, excellent baskets. Porta potty, plenty of parking. Very cart-friendly.


RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS:
Close enough to South Hills, Shank and Riverside, but I suggest combining this with a few other nearby 9's, like Hotel Hershey and Schiavoni Park
