Pros:

The course is located along the south side of the YMCA. It starts out with 4 wide open holes playing across the grassy area by the road. The last 5 play to the east of that area and feature shorter wooded holes. Solid mix of different hole types packed into nine holes. Elevation is present, though not too extreme on nearly every hole. All except hole 2 basically.

The design is well executed to even fir nine holes in here. The course starts and ends up by the parking lot too, which is always a bonus. The course is probably never too busy I'd assume. They appear to take really good care of the space the course is on. The grassy holes were all nicely mowed with a few longer strips outlining the fairways. Not lose a disc long though.

Nice large rubber mats for tee pads on the open holes. The mats are about half the size for the wooded holes though. Not really a big deal since all those holes are around 200' or under. One tee pad per hole.

There's tee signs by every hole. This helps with locating the tee pad, especially in the woods, but even in the open areas. The signs have the hole #, Par and distance. Pretty basic but at least they get you to where you need to go.

Navigation is pretty straightforward once you find hole 1. You may get a little turned around in the woods with there being quite a few holes near each other. A maps not needed but could be helpful. Still pretty simple once you're oriented without one.

The baskets are Gateway Titans. This is a McCormack designed course so that's kind of the deal with that. These were all in good shape and caught good. One basket and position per hole.

The course is permanent and free to play.


Cons:

The open holes are kind of repetitive. Standard prairie/park style open holes. At least there wasn't waist length grass like on some other courses of that style. Those are the worst.

Kind of the same deal with the woods holes. They're all shorts, tight little holes. A little poke and hopeish feeling on a couple.

The rubber mats were fine on a scorching hot summer afternoon. These look to be the really slick type of rubber mats though. I'd bet these would be a nightmare in, or after any kind of rain. Even in the morning with dewy grass.

The pads in the woods are really short. They don't need to be super long or anything, but a little longer would've been nice. My main gripe with the pads is many of them aren't level. Not even close. Hole 1's was the worst I felt like. Angled quite a bit downhill.


Other Thoughts:

This is a decent course for an area with nothing real close by. It's worth a round if you're in the area for sure. It's not worth going out of your way for though. Good for what it is. Reasonable course.
