- 18 holes tucked between the Calumet and I-80, this semi-wooded course tries its best to be a secluded oasis in an otherwise bustling and noisy cityscape.
- The course starts with the grassy park area, huge mature oaks dotting the first several fairways. Hole #'s 1 & 2 each have a mando: keep an eye open for the arrows. Hole #'s 3-5 play back to the wood's edge. Hole #'s 6-8 are cute short little hobbit holes. Short putter shots with stonework on the paths and tees. Brick flower garden beds and similar touches show someone cares.
- Hole #9 starts airing things out with a longer wooded hole and the rest of the course plays through varying lengths and shapes of technical wooded golf.
- Signs, bag holders, benches, trashcans, reasonable mixed tee pads (brick and rubber mostly). Good intuitive flow to the course.
- Good use of the little wrinkles available, but mostly flat. Unless you go down one of the steep riverbanks to the water. Speaking of water...
- ...staying dry should be easy for all but beginners along the river. Hole 18 throws over a small creek, but this too should be easily avoidable.
- Technical lines through the woods needed to score well, even on the shorter holes.
- A lot of good work has gone to transform this course from the old layout to this new full 18-hole design. The course is well-groomed and maintained.

- A pleasant enough round in a nice little pocket of nature tucked away near a loud, noisy freeway. The constant sounds of city detract from the nature vibe, if that's your thing.
- Just not enough in this sliver of wilderness to make this course stand out. The designers certainly did a good job teasing out a very good 18-hole design from the available land.

- Club chill-out area near the parking "lot"...
- Not really a "parking lot" per se, but rather a "parking alongside the roadway" kinda dealio.
