Good 9 with a new 18 option. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- 18 Tee Pads: This is a recent addition. Although there are only 9 baskets. The "back 9" does a great job of altering the shot shaping of the "front 9". You also now have the option of only playing 9 and just deciding which tee pad looks more interesting to you. Hole #1 even has 3 tee pads (1A, 1B, 10).
- Kiosk Map: Somewhat newly added and helps with the navigational problem from #1 to #2 and from #4 to #5 that has been mentioned previously.
- Baskets: Cosmetically worn 2 chain Disc Catchers but all in good functioning condition.
- #3: This is the only long open hole (471) and provides a chance to air one out before going into the trees.
- Shot Shaping: a good mix of types of shots on the the wooded holes. Especially when going back and playing the alternate pads.
- Park Amenities: There is a restroom and pavilion near hole #1 and the parking lot.

Cons:

- Navigation: The course could definitely use 2 next tee signs in particular. One going from 1/10 to 2/11 and another going from 4/13 to 5/14.
- Flow of Round: The decent walk that separates 3 of the holes and 6 of the holes, interrupts the flow of your round. Especially if it is your first time playing and you are trying to figure out where to go with no next tee signs.
- Benches: There is one good bench on #4 but the course could use more. Particularly one after walking up the hill to 16 tee pad.
- Park Users: This park can get quite busy and you will most likely find yourself waiting at some point. Multiple drives cross over the walking path.
- #7 Tee: Needs to be elevated to prevent mud overflow.
- Back Nine Signage: The signage for the "back 9" only indicates the hole number. No distance. However, you have already thrown the front and have a feel for it.
- Practice Basket: No practice basket.

Other Thoughts:

Not pros or cons:
- Tee Pads: The carpet tee pads have been lengthened after previous comments on their shortness. The carpet pads are in good enough condition but could be better. A few in particular are not level and muddy.
- Trash Cans: There was one on the course. A couple more would probably help.
- Alternate Start: If you park at the bottom near the playground and start on #2, it helps the flow of the round a bit. However, you will miss the kiosk map.

My Home Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 23, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Hits close to home because my brother-in-law created this course, a great course to learn how to play on, some short holes and some long holes to mix it up a bit, in a moderatly wooded area so its nice to play and have some fun. restrooms are nearby and a few pavilions on a couple of holes.

Cons:

Needs new teeboxes and detailed signs of the hole layout.

Other Thoughts:

Fun little course with room to be a lot better. It was just created last summer so I believe, with a little hard work, that this course could be very nice.

Nice little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 21, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I choose good for the following reasons:
9 basket course, just built a few days ago.
Have marked off tee pads.
Good to practice on or for beginners.

Cons:

No signs yet.
Number 9 is far from where you park.

Other Thoughts:

It's a working process. I think once they get some signs up of where the next basket is, etc., it will be a pretty good 9 basket course.
