Played the course:once
Pros:
Up front, this course is really a 9-hole course with dual tee pads. However, as indicated by the kiosk, it is to be played as an 18 hole course, with the A pads as the front nine, and the B pads as the back nine. My review, however, will be written considering it as a 9-hole course.
- Great signage all over the course. From pictograms on the "A" tee pads, to the map and kiosk, very well done.
- Great, new baskets.
- Pretty well perfect concrete tee pads. Dual pads (save #7) give a different look at the pin in most instances.
- #5 A & B both are pretty cool hole designs (safety aside)
- #6 B a nice little forced tunnel shot.
- #9 A & B are both cool downhill shots.

Cons:
- Safety is a huge concern on this course. Not only for other park goers, but if there are any other discers on the course, there could be major issues. Every single fairway (except for 6B) runs parallel, through, over, or into another fairway, basket, or teepad. Especially bad is the 6A tee bad in the middle of 5's fairway. The road is also very close on #1A, and is literally in play on both 5A & 5B. I imagine this park doesn't get a lot of traffic, but your disc will end up in another hole's fairway while playing this course, perhaps multiple times.
- Holes #1 - 4 don't look the same, but you can play the same shot for all of them. I threw a RHFH shot for all 8 drives from these 8 pads.
- Course doesn't loop, which is unfortunate. Probably weren't any real options, but #1 tee and #9 basket are at opposite ends of the park. You'll want to park in the first parking loop to be halfway between both.
- There had been a bit of rain over the last couple weeks when I played, and most of the many low-lying areas were still very squishy.

Other Thoughts:
- I certainly was disappointed in making the trip down off of the interstate, to find that it wasn't a true 18 hole course. Not to say I didn't enjoy my round, because of course I did. Just was a little misleading, and wasn't exactly what I was expecting to find.
- In full disclosure, most of the reasoning for my low-ish rating are my safety concerns with how much is packed into this park. Otherwise, this is a pretty typical rec 9 park course.
- Very glad this course exists, in the end! Lots of time and effort has been put into it, and it's a great place to grow the sport in a smaller community like this!
