Pros:

Nice course. Fairly wooded with a variety of ranges. Holes are spread out enough that being hit with shanked discs is very unlikely.

Cons:

i would like a course map at the beginning and maps on each hole which this course had neither when i played. there were 2 holes that i actually couldn't find

Pros:

Ok this is my home course, so I'm not about to bash this course but I will tell you like it is. The first two holes have wide open fairways, good for big arms. I like the hardness of #6 but I have not learned how to throw a disc straight down a path that is only 15 feet wide. Good course could be better with better management from the parks department. Has a couple of football fields to practice long throws on.

Cons:

There are a few cons at this course, not the best course I have played, but not the worst. The biggest con is no tee signs, so if you are a newbie you will have to walk the course first to figure out where to shoot. Not crowded, yes that can be a con, if you are new its nice to have someone tell you hints about the course and on most days you might be the only one on the course. Lots of wildlife, i'm ok with the rabbits and squires, but be careful when picking up your disc, there are snake holes in the woods and yesterday I saw a snake in the creek so be careful. If you throw into the creek yes the water feels great but look out for snakes. Seems like this park was thought out but never really was finished, On hole #13 the is an unsightly blush pile that was never cleaned up and trash is collecting around it. Be careful on #14 and #17 you might think you can clear the two swamps, but i'm betting that you loose a disc trying to. It's always good to have a few more disc than you need to play a round because you might loose a disc on these two holes.

Other Thoughts:

No par is set for this course. I play it as a par 61
hole #1 par 3
hole #2 par 3
hole #3 par 3 (can easily make in 2 but i don't believe in par 2's)
hole # 4 par 3
hole # 5 par 3
hole # 6 par 4
hole # 7 par 3
hole # 8 par 3
hole # 9 par 3
hole #10 par 4

Pros:

Multiple Teepads add a great variety of shots to the course. The Short tees still offer a challenge due to the tight fairways and OB creek that runs thru the course. The course design takes full advantage of the elevation the park offers and makes for some great risk/reward ace runs. The longer version ups the difficulty quite a bit and offers different and tighter lines for some of the wooded holes.

Cons:

Can be tricky to navigate and could use better Tee-signs.

Other Thoughts:

This course is well worth the drive and effort to play. Unlike some parks the Blue tees here give the course a whole different experience instead of just making it longer. Great playground area and plenty of open space make this park a good place to bring the family aswell.
