Pros:

Okay, I don't exactly know what that means but it obviously is not a compliment. Remember there is no gas for fifty miles once you enter the park. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration but it does seem like an awfully long drive through the park back to the course.

When you finally reach the beginning of the course, you'll find a small kiosk with one small course map on it. The tee pads are concrete while the signs are short poles with the number on them. The baskets are the DGA models with the always hard to read red numbers. There are next tee arrows and they are greatly appreciated.

I found the course to be remarkable mundane. The terrain is the same on every single hole. You're playing on the lake bank with the grass about six inches high. There are a very few trees here and there. The water is present and is pleasant to look at. # 6 does feature a water carry and if you cut the corner you'll only be needing about a 175' carry.

There is some elevation to play with. I think my favorite hole was # 16, which has you throwing to a basket down by the water with only the top showing. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing so hard that any throw near the water was scary.

Cons:

Strong wind blowing.

Just not a lot to work with here.

Uninspiring layout.

Terrain doesn't change. Many holes feels just like the one before.

Other Thoughts:

Sorry, this course didn't get my juices flowing. It really wasn't any fun playing here with the strong wind blowing something fierce. Too many similar holes. Too much similar terrain. Too many similar holes and too little shot shaping is required. I would not be interested in returning.
