This course rounded out my recent visit to the Dayton area, and it was played on a balmy March afternoon. The state park provides a nice environment and offers modest natural beauty. There is an ample sized parking lot at the course and the layout starts and finishes near this lot.

Overall it's a fairly typical state park layout, you get a pleasing mix of parks style holes around mature trees coupled with areas that dive into a more wooded setting. Decent use of elevation and enough variety for repeat playability. Two concrete tees on each hole. Some of the tees we played are significantly misaligned to the basket, enough to detract from the fun factor. Multiple pin locations also provides for good variety for those who are regular visitors.

Good signage and course flow, no issues with navigation but there is an odd long walk along the beach area between two holes. For being a fairly new course I felt the overall layout was nicely cleared and playable, however a few holes come to mind where additional clearing should be done to create more defined fairways. The ground was very wet and sloppy in some areas, and although it's the wet season these areas are likely slow to drain and tighten up.

Some stretches felt a bit repetitive, but again this can be remedied by mixing up tee pads and pin placements. Overall it's a fairly well thought out design, and the course installation was done nicely. It's a good course, not great, but good and there's nothing wrong with that.
