I should mention that I never played the original 18 and any reference I make to the "old" configuration is in reference to the more recent 9 hole course- which was perhaps my very favorite in the area.

Most of the front nine was swamped out so I will confine my comments to just the holes that I played and update later when the new holes are more playable.

I like the new sidehill hole whose basket is near the old 8th tee. It isn't long but there are many tree obstacles and a fairly steep fallaway to the left that will penalize errant throws. This hole will also be largely affected by winds which can sweep up from either side- they were blowing very briskly from the right on the day I played. I would have preferred keeping the old 8th tee box position- the new tees are positioned in grass on the hillside- but it is still an incredibly picturesque and challenging tee shot. And unless it's a tournament day one can tee from the pavers at the top of the hill anyay- at least until they are completely removed. I have a mixed feeling about the hole that follows the old #8. They have positioned the new tee behind that basket for a tight uphill drive with a very small window with the basket now placed at the peak of the hill near the sidewalk. It is a more challenging hole than the old #9 and won't surrender nearly as many birdies or aces- and that's fine. But again it strikes me as a curious decision to not utilize the old tee box which, while somewhat decayed, is still far superior to a dirt (or mud) tee area.
The old #1 now has the basket at the bottom of the hill and is much more reachable for a rec/intermediate player like myself. This hole will certainly allow way more birdie opps with the new position.

While I like some of the changes I cannot understand why they chose not to utilize the paver tees that are in place. The ones at old holes 2,4,5,7 and 9 are in perfectly good condition and the one at 8 could be easily restored with a little effort. And the old #2 hole has been completely abandoned. To me that was a classic and picturesque tunnel shot, if not a particularly difficult one. I do not understand the choice to remove that hole and essentially replace it with a wide open hole near the practice field for which they have broken the old #4 in half. The old #4 was such an interesting and challenging long hole that I have played a dozen different ways depending on the wind and where my drive landed!

The new 17,18 as well as 1 and 2 which all surround the art building are o.k. They make interesting use of the elevation change but they are really short with non-level tee areas that will be susceptible to deterioration as the course gets used more.

The parking meters have been moved to a more convenient location in the lot in front of the Art Building. Two hour limit and they do accept credit cards.
