+ Varied holes for a park: some open, some with spots of trees, one really wooded

+ Holes #8 and #9 take you out of the main park for a narrow out-and-back pair of holes bordering a creek on #8 and a line of backyards on #9. The basket on #8 is up on a steep bluff that requires a pretty precise left-to-right through some woods about 250' out

- Hole #1 is the one heavily-wooded hole. There's a creek all along the left side, and I think the original design allowed for a great risk/reward RHFH or anny over the water at the basket that's only 180' away. But it's become so thickly overgrown that it's eliminated that shot, leaving only a very narrow line up and over a steep cliffside that pushes in from the right. That makes for a fun high hyzer, but again, it's all so overgrown that you really don't have much of a line. It's too bad, because this was probably a "signature" hole when the course was conceived

- Hole #9 is pretty narrow, with woods along the right OB backyards along the left, and a sprinkling of large trees up the fairway. It's a good hoile, except: there's a mando tree about 175' forcing you to play to the right, along the woods. I'm guessing it's there to reduce stray shots into backyards, but it really forces the "best" shot (RHFH) out of the picture. I understand the need to protect the neighbors - it;s just too bad that the last hole you play feels compromised by a mando

~ Course Amenities Summary: Very good poured tees, good baskets and signage, easy to navigate (although #1 tee is a little hard to find)

~ Much of the park is in a "bowl" - probably gets very wet

~ Park traffic will definitely interfere with play on several holes

~ The second tee is closest to the parking lot, and easy to find. You can backtrack to find the heavily-wooded #1, or just play your way around, and find it at the end. That's what we did, but it meant that we finished with the two most-compromised holes (see above): #9 and #1. That risks leaving you thinking about the course weaknesses, when actually it's a solid 3 park course on balance
