George George, watch out for that TREEEE 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice Red Disc Nation baskets
Great Tee pads that are all level at the moment (I worry that they built up sand under them, I worry about erosion)
Takes advantage of the elevation in the park, specially on the dam.
Takes advantage of the trees
Several 400 ft 2 shot holes.
Most of the holes are cleared out pretty good
Map next to the parking lot
Good tee signs with distance and "next tee" arrows.

Cons:

Some of the fairways and holes are a little too close to each other. More than once did I land on or across another fairway due to hitting trees.
Course has some narrow fairways.
Holes 12 to 15 are WIDE open and play on the Dam and spillway. (you get a lot of elevation on those holes)

Other Thoughts:

The City is a GREAT job clearing out the area for this course. Several of the holes are back and forth in a grove of tree's. But no <300 foot holes in the woods, these holes are 400ft and more with dogleg right or left on a few of them.

I do like how the course was laid out so that hole 9/10 are back at the parking lot, you don't see that enough anymore.

This course is trying to be a championship level course, but it the property isn't right for that. HOWEVER this course will be challenging for the more advance players.

So why did I only give it a 4, if it were not for those dam holes (12 to 15) with no tree's I would give it a 4.5.

Once this course gets broken in (recently cleared so it is pretty rough right now) it will be a destination course.

So, will I play this course again?

YES, but not when it is 90+ and sunny. (or just skip 12 to 15 as 16's tee is close enough to 11 basket)
