Pros:
- I considered the biggest pro to be the (what appears to be) newly planted grass really defining the fairways on most holes. The grass alleys show you the most obvious line available and direct you to the basket on a couple holes where it's location isn't immediately noticeable. The fairway definition is reminiscent of the feel of a ball golf course. Hopefully it takes well to the ground and lasts.
- Two sets of tees on most holes (red and blue). This is always great but don't get too excited. If you are reading this, you will almost definitely want to play the blues. The reds are a great addition for someone brand spanking new to the game. 3 of the reds could come in handy on the 3 longest holes for a rec player still developing an arm.
- When there are tee signs to be found on a hole, they are above average featuring read and blue distance. These also help with navigation as they have a bright number on them that can be seen from a distance.
- Good shot lines. The lines are really clear/defined and most of them are interesting enough to entertain good players.
- There are a couple little creeks in play that add to challenge and beauty without being too deep to easily retrieve a disc.
Cons:
- Red tees have basically no signage at all. Maybe an old 4x4 with a faint number on it here and there.
- Signage is missing all together on 4 holes.
- Most of the tee pads are carpet. I'm not opposed to carpet but these in particular have definitely seen better days. One had been completely take over by mud and grass to become a natural pad.
- Distance between holes on multiple holes are longer than average. This can make navigation challenging. Fortunately there is a course map at the kiosk.
- You will almost certainly deal with park users walking on the walking paths that are often close to tees, fairways, and baskets.
- 17 is incredibly wacky. Rare for a par 3 to be 100% un-aceable. Not just a dogleg, but a 180 degree turn at the end.
Other Thoughts:
This course could win some major points with new concrete tee pads on the blues and at least new carpet on the reds. Replacing the missing tee signs would also be a big improvement. The grass fairways and beginner red pads are a really nice touch.
