Pros:
- Concrete tees & baskets are in good shape
- Plays a loop
- Well maintained, not much chance of losing a disc here!
- Good use of terrain's elevation (2, 3, 6 & 7 come to mind)
- Awesome view of the mountains to the west
- Great for beginners, as a warm-up or possibly ace run round
- Fun for gripper 'n' rippers albeit on the short side
- Kiosk at parking lot w/ large map and bulletins of upcoming events in the area
- Potential for aces - Holes 6 (RHBH) & 7 (RHFH) come to mind immediately
- Fairly easy to navigate (especially after your 1st time out)
Cons:
- Fairways not terribly defined, potential for crossing fairways as well
- Possibly crowded at times
- Not much of a mix in terms of distances and shots needed, not much in the way of challenge
*Many of the following are debatable here, see Other Comments*
- Other than number impressed on the actual tee and numbers on the baskets, there's no signage whatsoever.
- On the short side
- Lack of amenities - only one bench/trash can (at #3). You might be allowed to use the rec center restroom but I'm not positive
Other Thoughts:
Harlow Platts is a great 9 holer for a barebones, fast and easy round. If you're coming for crazy distance or major obstacles or huge challenge, proceed elsewhere. If you absolutely positively have to have all the amenities like benches, trash cans, water fountains, bag holders, bathrooms, tee signs w/ distance & maps, etc - proceed elsewhere.
IF however, you're looking for a place to bring a beginner, a place to warm up, or just a quick, easy round, look no further.
Some of the cons listed above are debatable b/c if all you're looking for is a quick round, you don't really NEED the signage, distance or amenities. That said, the first time you're out, bring a map or take a pic of it at the kiosk - you won't need it your 2nd round though.
I wouldn't call it a destination course by any means, but it's nice for what it is plus there are plenty of other courses in the area to proceed to after this warm up.
***UPDATE 6/11/18*** The course now has two baskets per tee, one yellow, one red, making for a quick 18.
