This was a very hard course to rate. I almost gave it a 4.5. I almost gave it a 3.5. I even flirted with the idea of giving it a 3.
The problem is: the course, by itself, is phenomenal. I've only encountered one course (out of 50+) that I thought had better holes and a more consistent mix of throws needed, and only a small few that are at the same rank. But it's got some bad downsides.
Starting with the neutral stuff: the tees are acceptable. Most, maybe all of the holes have two tees, but they're usually only ~20 feet apart, so it's not like it adds much to the game.
There are benches throughout the park, but most of them are showing their age, either wobbling or missing chunks of them here and there.
I didn't find any place nearby to get food or drinks within 10 miles or so, so keep that in mind when coming to the area: bring what you need.
The course's end (holes 19 and on) is somewhat disappointing: mostly flat, not many obstacles. They did a decent job with what was there, but maybe should have cut a few holes from the end of the course. I may well skip some of the end whenever I'm there, just because.
Those, however, are mostly minor annoyances. There are two real problems with the course. The first is navigation. Many of the holes are missing signs, and there are a few long walks that aren't labeled anywhere. I didn't find a course map, not even one pinned to the board that looked like it was placed there specifically for it. There are a couple of 'next tee' signs on the course, but most of those are placed where you can pretty well guess where the next tee is. Going from 5 to 6, and from 12 to 13, involved serious hunting for me.
But the real problem for me was something that other reviewers raved about: most holes have five possible basket placements! That's great, right? It's easy to mix up the appearance of the hole, not just in two directions or maybe three, but in five!
Except... when you're standing by the tee sign, which shows B in a blind throw to the left, C in a blind throw to the right, D in a long blind throw to the right (over the hill), E in a long blind throw to the left (over the hill), and A directly in front of you in what should be an obvious location (unless it's actually just past the top of the hill), and the tag on the pole says "A", but you don't see a basket, what do you do? You climb up the 60+' hill, spot the basket (not in the "A" position), climb back down the hill, just to throw up the hill, which seems to have grown by at least 20' since you climbed up it the first time...
If you're going to do multiple basket placements, make sure the signs are kept up properly! And tag both tee signs. And replace any downed/lost/removed signs. I did mention the missing signs earlier, right? Yeah, there are a few blind holes without any signage I could find at all. At least these had an obvious general direction you where supposed to point towards, and the baskets were usually spotted quickly once you got past a few specific trees.
This particular multiple basket placement has another problem, as well. Each hole seemed to have 1 novice placement, 2-3 regular placements, and 1-2 championship placement. Which is cool. Except for any hole that's set either below or beyond your comfort zone. Baskets mostly in the championship range? That's going to be annoying for my non-championship arm. Set it all to novice? Experts are going to really hate the course.
Multiple basket placements are great when they're all mostly near the same challenge range. If you're going to have different difficulty levels, then please, have multiple physical baskets per hole, with different colored rings, so players can choose their target. Or if you can't afford multiple baskets, get your multiple-difficulty levels through multiple tee placements, far enough apart that there's actually a difference in challenge levels.
Despite the negatives and the fact that it's nearly three hours from my house, I do plan on returning there in the reasonably near future, though I'll probably do it when work takes me within an hour or so of the course. Yes, the course design is that good. I just wish the upkeep was better.
