Pros:
Intermediate course that would challenge beginners and provide minimal challenge for advanced players set in a neighborhood park. Holes are on the shorter side.
Baskets - 18 grippy baskets that are fairly new. Most of them have the hole number on the basket. Very grippy and deep.
Tees - 18 large concrete tees per hole. Holes 8 and 10 have an alternate dirt tee to avoid throwing over water.
Signs - course map at new start of course. Some of the holes have been changed since map was made so it is labeled on map. Each hole has a nice sign labeling hole number, distance, and a decent picture of hole.
Variety - Almost all of the holes are under 300 feet. 16 is the longest hole at 510 feet. Most holes in the 200-300 range. Hole are mostly open but have several mature trees to create challenge. A few blind shots due to wooded area and elevation on 13, 14, and 15. 4 water hazards can get into your head.
Water hazards - Holes 1, 8, 10, 11 have water hazards. 8 and 10 throw over water. Errant throws on 12 and 15 can make their way into the water.
Elevation - Holes 3, 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18 have slight to moderate elevation.
Holes recently renumbered to create better flow and to provide more parking. Water holes start at hole 8 as opposed to hole 2 in the past.
Benches or picnic tables near 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and the walk to 17
Trash cans near holes 1 and 7
Playgrounds are on property to distract the family.
Very peaceful and scenic park.
Cons:
The signs are brand new and not very accurate. An accurate map of the holes were drawn with sharpie on top of the map on the signs.
Only one tee per hole. Being the only 18 hole course in Kokomo, this could get real repetitive real fast. 2 of the holes have alternate tees which are nice, but all holes need them.
Course could use more trash cans and benches to help make this park more peaceful and scenic.
Creek can easily overflow leaving entire holes under water.
Lots of goose poop on the fairways and sometimes the tees. Be careful.
Other Thoughts:
I like this course. The concrete pads really helped to elevate the playability of this course. I used to play it more often when Shady Pines was 18 holes and I would make a loop from Indy. Even when I lose discs in the water, I have not had a bad time here. Always fun and challenging.
I would like to play this course more but it's out of the way. I would recommend it to any intermediate or beginner player looking for a challenge. Kokomo could use a second course in the immediate area.
There are many better courses within a half hour of this course if it is not challenging enough for you.
