Pros:
A new course, Lenape in Skippack that is practically in my backyard, and has quickly turned into my favorite amongst my area community parks -- Upper Salford (USal), Boyertown Community (BC), Kenilworth (Ken), Rez Park (REZ). The care this course was made with, from the tees to carefully crafted fairways to the wood chips laid down is pretty evident.
It's completely forested and plays mostly on hillside or on top of the hills, much like back half of REZ or Green Lane's Green Monster, but without the rocks or constant up and down of the latter.
The distances are mostly Community Park but it's more challenging than numbers indicate. The fairways are shaped with trees that have been heavily magnetized towards attracting flying plastic in some secret, proprietary process.
Elevation is there and variable but not excessive, the front two go up up up and there's a corresponding climb down near the end. In a perfect game. A good number of hillside holes can have a bad tree kick, or good old griplock, can have you chasing down a disc downhill, sometimes even over a hundred feet. Sometimes it's steep.
The middle holes become tamer hilltop and plenty of good forest fare. A lot of the baskets are straight on or hyzer shots. There's a few holes ending on the right, but our LHBH and RHFH friends will get more love from scramble shots than off the tee in general. Even with my tree magnets, I enjoyed scrambling here because there is very little brush to contend with throughout.
This time of year, October and November autumn, tends to be very windy around here, and where some nearby open courses become unplayable, like USal, the forest and hillside here will shield it from breeze and drizzles.
The asphalt tees are always most generous and well laid (I'm jealous), and the new park pavilion with tables, benches, grills and bathrooms are just gorgeous and still have that freshly cut cedar smell. The bathrooms were actually open, which I rarely see this time of year around here.
Solid, fun course, my new local favorite. Just writing it up makes me want to play another round. Especially close to USal and 15 minutes from Green Monster.
Cons:
There is little to complain about but those who regulary shoot over 300' and have a very solid approach game in forest will find this course wanting in distance.
RHBH biased. Almost every hillside hole is left-high/right-down slope and just works better with a fade left. Especially the ones where discs can roll, roll, roll down the hillside.
There are two big uphills upfront and two downhills at the end, but #2's steep climb really isn't rewarded with it's own downhill. #17 is bought by #1's climb. #16's downhill is won through the barely noticeable cumulative climb of the middle holes. A bit of a bummer, but inevitable with the landscape as there was no space for a safe one.
Tee numbers are on posts but distance and layout signs, yet. There is no big course map to photograph either. There were Tee Maps at the beginning, in a plastic holder the first time -- they quickly ran out.
No hanging Next Basket arrows iirc. It's mostly self-explanatory but there are two sizable jumps. #12 to 13 and #16 to 17.
Other Thoughts:
Beware, this course may be a bit of a Bermuda Triangle for plastic. I have already found 5 lost discs in just 6 rounds. It's a good 30x my normal find rate. The named ones have been returned, but a drop box would be nice.
The asphalt path winds throughout and walkers are generally out of the way but I already had several bad kicks land them on the path. Like on #9.
