Pros:
It gives me great honor to be the first to review this course in six years. Unfortunately, not much has changed.
It's still a very short 9 holer on the top of the hill in a neighborhood park. There are baskets (whose condition isn't ideal) and a couple tee signs. It seems to be a nice neighborhood and the park was clean (maybe because it's not used much).
Hole #8 is fun.
It's biggest pro might very well be that Fireman's Park is just down the street.

Cons:
Only baskets 3-8 were in the ground. 1, 2, and 9 are missing.
The tee signs for about half of the holes were also missing. Fortunately the flow is pretty easy to understand and intuitive.
No obstacles. Not an exaggeration. There is no elevation change and there is not a single tree on the course. A couple of the baskets are on slopes (#4, #6, #8), which can lead to challenging roll aways, but that's about it. I think the biggest challenge here is the wind.
With the lack of obstacles and lack of distance comes a lack of a challenge. I suppose the course is fine for beginners, but the enjoyment stops there.

Other Thoughts:
Previous reviews are all still relevant. There's really not much attraction here, outside of bagging a course. I'm not sure there is really much more to say about this.

Pros:
Distances are marked. Course is clearly defined. Area is well groomed.
Cons:
All the holes are very short. There really isn't a challenge, getting at least a par should be simple.
Other Thoughts:
The only difficult thing is about this course is the fact that the course is on top of a hill, which the designer used to make some of the holes slightly more difficult than the others.

Pros:
What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == D+
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == D+
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == D+
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == C
5) Bonus points for multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A

Other Thoughts:
It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (125 18-hole, 64 9-hole as of mid 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.
Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage...if what I can add anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.
I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.
