Nice little course 2+ years drive by

Played the course:once
Pros:
The course is laid out through a small park with scattered mature trees and a little bit of elevation. The course designers did a good job with the space they had to work with, and used the available elevation well.
The course has a decent mix of ace run holes and slightly more challenging shots. It also had alternate tees on every hole, so you can play 18 holes. On many of these alternates, there was a very different look at the hole, which kept the second nine interesting.
For the most part when I played, the course was pretty easy to follow. On most holes, there was a reasonably accurate tee sign that gave distance, and the location of the alternate tee for that hole.

Cons:
When the wind blows, this course is downwind of a lot of cows, and you really notice. The course does get a little repetitive, though this is mostly dictated by the land available.
There were a number of non-DGers wandering around the park when we played, and many of them seemed baffled by what we were doing, though they were all nice about letting us play through once we explained.

Other Thoughts:
This course is a nice place for inexperienced players to learn the game, and also offers a few holes with a little more challenge. I wouldn't drive way out of my way to play this course, but I think it's great that there's a place here to play!

Pros:
new baskets that have been well kept. some hazards and trees that make some holes less easy than the majority of the holes. when windy, which it is often, birdies are not as easy.
Cons:
I have been playing for a month and a half and I could drive the majority of the holes, all except the par 5s. launching pads are extremely hard to find. only 3 or 4 of the holes have signs, when present the course is easy to follow and easy to find the next tee, when absent it becomes interesting. I started on hole 8 accidently and did not realize it because there were no signs on 8 or 9. half of the holes had no trees or hazards and the other half only made you use a sidearm or a little extra hyzer to get around the tree.
Other Thoughts:
If the course were used more regularly or if the course had better signage it would get a higher rating. dirt launching pads already grown over with grass due to lack of use.
