North Ponds was a bigger course than I expected when I looked over the course map. The water comes into play on most of the holes. The park is clean and well maintained. The baskets are brand new. The course has a nice flow. The holes are mostly open with sporadic trees and those ponds being the biggest concern.
The course is still new so the tee areas are just spray paint with a little flag but I imagine that will change with more time.

Other Pros:
- 2 tees per hole
- scenic ponds
- weeping willows guarding baskets
- elevation used

I do enjoy water holes and this course has plenty of them but it does increase the chances of losing a disc. A walking path can come into play but paying a little caution will do just fine. Natural tees are fine but I hope the get marked better. With the course being so new, I expect improvements aren't far away.

#4 was my favorite hole, if you can't make the distance across the water then you can try to land your shot on a small strip of land between the ponds. This is the best 9 hole course I've played so far. I was pleasantly surprised with this course.

-Nicely woven into North Ponds park. Blends in perfectly with the walking track, exercise stations, bathrooms, and parking.
-The park was beautiful! Grass was well maintained. Very little litter!
-A tough par 27 with a variety of holes requiring a wide array of shots/discs. As a lefty, I had a few tough shots. I could see it being equally as challenging for a righty.
-Plenty of benches.

-The noise from 104. It's not too bad, but is a constant reminder there is a highway there.
-Tee pads (natural) are not well marked. They are marked with a small orange flag and spray paint on grass. I realize this is a brand new course. Hopefully they get some sort of permanent signage.

-This review is based on an amateurs point of view. I have been playing since July of 2012.

-#1 barely made it across the pond. Saw a few others go into the water
-#2 I see that tree on the left of the teepad being destroyed soon! Tight, slightly wooded fairway and an elevated basket here
-#3 Trees on the left (yay!) and water on the right (yay!). Tight fairway
-#4 2 of the ponds come into play here. Be careful of walkers/joggers
-#5 Tight wooded start with a nice wide open finish. A nice tomahawk opportunity from the tee
-#6 Wide open with the basket on top of a nice sized hill
-#7 Trees on the left, water and reeds on the right. Another tight fairway. I lost a disc there. If you go in the water, forget about it! Pond scum and reeds make it impossible to see anything
-#8 Easier, as long as you don't flub it into the pond
-#9 Beautiful, wide open finisher.
