Nice layout, needs TLC 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Beautiful layout in a very nice park. Good use of trees and waterline as obstacles. Shot shaping is needed on most holes.

Cons:

Signs at each hole are terrible and need replaced and upgraded. Tee pads are dirt behind a toe board. Concrete tee pads would be a great improvement.

Other Thoughts:

I didn't play hole 3 because I simply couldn't find it. An overall course map would help. With signs and pads this would be a 4-5 star course.

Bagged 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Aesthetic/safety- plays through a lakeside park. We played in the winter but from the other reviews, it plays through very popular areas of the park. Safety might be an issue

Teesigns- nice, "standup" DGA signs with diagram and distances of the two pins.

Baskets- nice and in good repair.

Multiple tees- though not immediately apparent in the winter with heavy snow on the ground, this is a nice addition that we did not benefit from.

Cons:

Routing and nav- this place needs a map, seriously bad. Hole 1 is not obvious from the parking lot or kiosk (which has ads for discraft and innova but no other real info)

challenge- Most of the challenge here comes from the lengths of the holes (moderately long for a 9-hole course) and uncontrollables like the wind (very windy). Other than that, it's wide freakin open. no real obstacles.

Teepads- in the winter, non-existant. Dirt otherwise.

A short nine hole 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 8, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

water hazards on a few holes makes a other wise bland course a little harder and less boring .
good mix of long and short holes .
Basket were in good shape
the course was easy to navigate

Cons:

Hole 9 your throwing close/over the parking area ,which not only puts cars at risk also people getting in and out .

the first 5 holes uses parts of the park that are mostly unused but when you get to the last few holes theres lots of other activities going on and you have to throw close to picnic areas ,which puts people at risk .

when I visited the course ,there was trash all over the place .

Tees were either in bad shape are missing on several holes .

all hole are rbh friendly and can easily
made with a hyzer shot so shot vary is limited .

lot of filler holes that are just boring .

Course plays mostly in a wide open with little to no obstacles

Only nine holes

Other Thoughts:

A decent course ,I wouldn't drive any distance to it ,but it's a ok time if your in the area and have time for a round .
