A bit of a disappointment 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The front nine runs through a pretty, well kept park. The grass was watered and mowed and the baskets are in good condition.A couple of holes with some challenge - one over a pod (I went around since I didn't have a retriever with me) and one through a narrow tunnel in thick woods.

Cons:

The "2" rating is generous if you consider the whole course. There were several tee posts missing and the pads were hard to find. The back nine is nearly a 1/4 mile walk away and the term "tone poles" is generous. It also runs through a park with a playground nearby and I had to skip several holes for safety.

Other Thoughts:

Since the last reviews were two years old I thought the course would have improved. Evidently the park department has not yet seen fit to invest any further. I was glad I didn't go to the trouble to pack my whole disc bag for my trip to the area. There is no map on the site listed. At least i can add another state to my play list.

Improved! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets are now DisCatcher 3 chain models on 1st 5 holes(with 1 Mach 3) and tone poles on last 4. Nice park layout with a couple of longer holes and a couple that a bad shot puts you in a swamp. fairly open but they put challenge in where they could.

Cons:

Grass tees that are only marked by a stick with the number. No signs or numbers on pins or any indication where next tee is. would not want to play w/o local help first time. Depends on distance for much of challenge on holes. Looks like park can be busy.

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad park course. Locals I played with(thanks Nick!) say the back 9 is in but very rough and didn't have time to show me. Don't know if home made baskets ended up there or not. Still room for improvement but that seems to be ongoing. Will be curious to see it again in a year.

Hard choice between 1.5 and 2 rating, might have rated lower if there was anywhere else to play in area. That and it was a pleasant place to throw a few holes and was not a birdiefest. :)
