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

Pros:

- The course is in a nice city park, with mature trees and a creek in play on a couple holes.
- New DGA baskets
- The two sets of tees offer angles different enough to change my shot selection on most of the holes.
- Tee signs (at short tee pads) include map of hole and location of both long and short tees.
- Encourages good mix of backhand and forehand shots. I even threw a couple rollers. A lot of the holes offered several choices with varying degrees of risk.

Cons:

- Natural tees were a bit muddy when I played, but they've had some rain recently. The tee signs are only at the short tees, but both tees are marked with a toe board, and there is a white plate on each board with hole number and distance. Tee boards are harder to find with leaves (or snow) on the ground.
- A few of the fairways run close to other holes, so be aware of others on the course.

Other Thoughts:

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. There are enough trees in the fairway to make drives challenging, and some of the baskets are partially guarded as well. The placement of the tees and trees encouraged a good mix of forehand and backhand shots for me.

Between roads, the creek, and fenced-off woods, there is quite a bit of OB.

Hole 5 is a RHBH hyzer over the creek.

The baskets on 7 and 8 are located on small hills.


Family Friendly Rating - 4.5
PROS: Mostly flat course with a few small hills, so it should be pretty easy for strollers or young kids to walk. There's a nice playground and restrooms near the parking area. Course is set up as 2 small loops, so you'll be back to the start every 4 or 5 holes. This is one of the most family-friendly courses I've played.
CONS: The course plays fairly close to two side streets and a creek, and a few of the fairways are pretty close together, so be aware. It's not the most friendly course for beginners, and all the trees could be a little frustrating for young players.
