Pros:
Fun open course, with limited challenges; inviting newer players to let loose and have fun.
Some nice views on the back 9.
Back 9 layout is a lot more fun and organized than the front 9.

Cons:
Not worth going out of the way for, but was fun on a stop through town and the Park itself is beautiful.

Tons of promise, just needs some work 2+ years drive by

Played on:Aug 27, 2017
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Beautiful location, lots of scenic views. The front 9 offers lots of open, easy holes that are great for beginners, while the back 9 offers longer, more difficult holes which bring the woods into play.
Cons:
No tee signs. Tee pads need work and are difficult to find. Layout of the front 9 results in some blind shots into areas where park visitors could be walking. Front 9 really needs a re-design for safety.
Other Thoughts:
A nice change of pace from CPS and JPark, I'd love to see a little more work put into this course to take it from pretty good to great.

Pros:
Edit: Tee signs appear to be in process of being installed.
Good mix of holes. Field golf along the front 9 with some technical shots to keep it interesting.
The technicality of the back 9 is a nice change of pace.
Last several holes play along the escarpment.

Cons:
Edit*******************
Hole 15 was one of the best holes on the course, a gently left to right moving fairway. The new bathroom caused a basket relocation, making it now one of the worst holes on the course, a simple chip-up RHFH.
It would appears whoever manages the course has doubled down on the obviously unsafe placement of the hole 1 teepad about 40 feet from the hole 7 basket.
**************************
Mixed use areas may prove problematic on busy days. Course plays directly over a firepit and along a mountain bike track. Hole 18 could do with some tree removal to make a real fairway.

Other Thoughts:
The teepads of 1 and I think 8 are far too close to the pin for hole 7. They need to be moved, otherwise on a busy day or in a tournament there would be no teeing off on 7 unless both those pads are clear.
This property is capable of hosting a championship caliber course with a little bit of care, hopefully someday a redesigned course will take it to that level.
