Nice little pit stop, with views better than the course

Pros:
I've driven by this park on 85 many a time but was usually in too much of a rush to play. This time traveling solo with nowhere to be in a hurry I decided to stop and stretch my legs at this little course.
As you enter the park you will see hole 7 on your right and I think the best place to park is in between the bathroom and the shelter by hole 1, that puts you within about 150ft of the first tee and the last pin.
At 18 holes and only about 2500ft I figured it would be short, and most of the holes are, but not without some charms.
Pads are mainly black and yellow turf possibly recently added since some reviews indicate natural pads. Baskets are mostly in good shape with only one that had been thrown off balance by a fallen limb.
Nice little signs as well, with some navigational queues as well, not that navigating this short course is hard other than the fact you can see 3-5 baskets at any given time.
The holes are mostly mildly wooded and some of the lines are pretty fun, though not terribly tricky.
It's one of those courses where I would say it's more fun than good since all but a couple are ace runs, but you could take new players, kids etc out here and have a good time.
The views of the lake on 13-17 are really nice and on a couple of holes you do have to try not to get wet.

Cons:
It's a little putter course on a small piece of property. This is not high art, it's more like an amateur drawing of a landscape, pretty decent and you can see the merit but if you are looking for a Picasso it ain't it.
The only thing you could have done differently in this spot is a more challenging 9 hole course, stretch some holes out, combine a few and it could possibly be a 2.5 9 holer. That's obviously not what they wanted here for whatever reason and getting funds for 18 baskets is hard, so power to them.
It almost merits the par2 course label, to the degree that I shot -17 and felt I could have done better. Hit metal on 2 and 15 though.

Other Thoughts:
I played with just a Scale, Stego and Swan and shot -17 in 30 mins with 2 metal hits. It's not hard, it's not inspiring, but it is kind of fun and a good quick play for your DG course bagger on the go. I did my work emails on the dock by the course so that's kind of fun as well. The lake is really nice in this spot.
