Johnston tends to do things right, and this is a great example. This course fills a niche for those that want a quick game. The location is convenient for a lot of areas. It's a mostly wooded course that could be completed over a lunch hour with a friend in about forty minutes. (Try that at Walnut Woods or a trip to the East Side.)

The restrooms here are very nice. During baseball season, you'll find the concession stand open too. It's located in an upscale neighborhood, so you're not going to encounter anything shady here.

The tees, holes, and signage are all nice. The combination of woods, stream, and Beaver Creek are all scenic. There's some challenging shots too.

Mud in the spring. Given the new course construction, wooded area, and grasses not established yet, consider wearing old shoes if there has been recent rains.

Number seven is right behind the ball field fences, so you may want to keep an eye out for home runs over the fence. Also, spectators walk and even sit on hole seven.

Hole nine is trickier than it seems. You will have to go around the obstacle of trees in the middle of the fairway. If you go right, the edge of the creek is closer than it seems, which sends even experienced players into the water.

You may not know where you are after completing hole nine the first time. Just keep going straight on the walk in between the ball fields on the sidewalk, and you'll end up at the parking lot again. (Signage here would help.) This area is circus of activity if a game is going on.

It's a great, nine hole course in a convenient location.
