Pros:
Great little low-country, southern pines course.Played this for a tournament and it didn't disappoint. Perfect beginner course as none of the holes are longer than 300'. Challenging hyzer and anhyzer tee shots, but little to no rough. All the pine tags and leaves keep the underbursh to a minimum. Seven wooded holes, with two open holes that have a creek running down the righ-hand side of the fairway. Walking paths, roads, mandos and the creek make for some challenging OB to contend with.
Cons:
The raised mulched tee pads can be slippery when wet. This is s new course, so they haven't installed signage, benches or a course map. it was easy to navigate as long as you know you have to walk around the baseball fields when you finish #4 and go to the tee for #5. No bathrooms or Porta-potty.
Other Thoughts:
This is a short course, so big arm throwers will want to play elsewhere. If you want to practice your short game though, this little course is a good indicator of accuracy. If the park is busy, as there are two baseball fields, basketball courts, a playground and a shelter, there is limited parking (probably 40 spots including the road). There is a flagged set of long tees, and it does change the line to throw on about half of the holes.

Pros:
This course is new and raw. It is the only course in Norfolk and the entire area could use more courses, so this is most welcomed. It mostly play through a wooded area with a couple open shots. I think the distances are perfect for introducing the sport to a new city while still being challenging.
Other Pros:
- logical navigation
- long tee areas
- nice use of space available

Cons:
The course is new and the details to make it better are lacking right now. So you won't have benches or tee signs yet. You may need to walk up the hole to find the basket and then back track if it's your 1st time.
Other cons:
- rough is very thick and hard to retrieve an errant throw
- mando signs are being hidden by the leaves growing in
- I had to kick the wood chips in the tee boxes to get them even for where i wanted to throw from

Other Thoughts:
I hope this is a start to grow DG courses in the area. This is a fun 9-holer and that can get more people playing. The extras will come so just be patient with the course until then.
