Other Thoughts:
The short version: It's a pretty nice, challenging course in a beautiful, well-maintained park.
The tees and signage are good and the baskets catch well. There's enough variation in shot shapes that it doesn't favor righties over lefties or vice-versa. There is a reasonable variation of hole distances. However, there are a couple of holes that are of a distance that is just a little long for a par 3, yet too short to be a legitimate par 4. These holes are at least fairly wide open, so a player can really crank off the tee and not have to worry about hitting a tight line.
There is water on the course, which comes into play on 3 holes, which are done very well. It's a reasonably challenging carry to the pin, but there is plenty of room to safely bail out to the side. True risk-reward, which is quite fun. There are also quite a few low-ceiling shots, so one would do well to have a roller shot in their arsenal, or an accurate low air shot.
I have two gripes with the course. One is the tee shot on the longest hole, #6. It would be nice to have a more defined fairway, or preferred route, off the tee. You're expected to get a big drive off, but you're faced with a tight-ish stand of trees with a low ceiling to boot, making this less of a test of skill than a game of chance.
The other problem I have is the holes that are in close proximity to the walking paths that run through the park. When the weather is nice and the park is busy with visitors, there can be the danger of hitting a pedestrian with an errant shot.
Overall, the course has a few minor annoyances, but the level of fun outweighs the cons.
