I know this course is young but the training wheels ain't even off yet... 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Aesthetic--plays through a very large, multi-use park. For the most part avoids areas where non-dgers will be BUT does cross the road at times so be wary of your plastic. Also watch for people I suppose

Baskets--New ChainStars. Numbers on the baskets would help with routing for sure as there are many areas where multiple baskets are visible.

Terrain-- A good deal of elevation is present here. I really dug this course for their use of elevation.

Variety-- a little of everything here. The shorts and longs actually provided unique looks, which is sort of a novelty sometimes.

Cons:

Routing and navigation-- tough. I am sure this will improve with time and age but the fact that the tee signs are fence posts and that the numbers have been scribbled out and rewritten many times makes it damn near impossible to find your way through this course. The fact that someone put electrical tape on the baskets to help tell you where the next tee box is is helpful but this place is in dire need of map or some other form of navigational tool. I deducted a FULL DISC for the navigational issues.

Teepads-- dirty scuffs, not really a con but I am picturing great things in this dept.

Other Thoughts:

This course has nowhere to go but up. When they fix the issues, I will rescore. Great start!!
