An Unexpected Treat 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 baskets in good repair.
The concrete tees mostly feel like a large concrete brick that is a touch small for a tee pad, but it works.
Great variety of holes. Open, tight, long, short, huge downhill shots and a few uphill, lefts, rights... yadda yadda yadda...
Easy enough to navigate.
Water holes are fun and are not too hard, but will definitely eat plastic if you screw up.
Really fun course design that kind of eases you into things and gets you warmed up for a much more challenging back nine, but without being boring or repetitive.

Cons:

The back nine still has some holes that are in rough (new) shape, but that will come I am sure.
The signage could be better, but with a map it really isn't hard to figure out. It basically makes a large oval loop following an established walking path, without interfering with the walking path too much.
Would be awesome if there were multiple tees/pins on each hole, but I'm sure that isn't the number one priority here.
Hole 9 over the water feels a bit gimmicky. I feel like it is too short and too hyzery through a fog of trees on the other side. The water really shouldn't come into play here ever. Would be super neat if a long tee pad were placed closer to the walkway on this hole.
Hole 18 feels kind of like a disappointment. After such a great series of holes, to end on that note just doesn't do enough for me.

Other Thoughts:

I have full confidence that this course will mature as the community around it keeps building it up into a 4.0 course. Lots of potential and lots of great stuff already going for it. Great job, eh

Coming Along Very Nicely 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 23, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It's been an absolute joy watching this course come together. I have been playing it since the very first basket went in ( even when it was the only one)

There is a good mix of righty/lefty shots, short holes and long holes, and definately some elevation changes. (Hole 6 !! )

There is also some water that comes into play, mostly on 9 where you have to throw across the old canal, but is also ready to claim your disc on several other holes if you hyzer out too much.

The park is scenic and historic, and the totem pole in the middle of the park is definately something you don't see very often (well not myself anyway)

Overall, an enjoyable course to play and am excited to be able to play the back 9 when completed.

Cons:

Still a work in progress, but very much playable and enjoyable.
