Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 18, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice setting in Federal Recreation Area, camping onsite, access to Carlyle lake, good views especially at sunset.

-Decent variety of shots, but you don't need a lot of diverse shots to shoot well

-Decent course flow

-Nice lake hole (#3)

--Many ace runs

Cons:

-Tee boxes are a little ambiguous, they aren't well worn-in and marked only by a sign tell the hole and distance so I didn't know from which side of the sign to throw.

-A little repetitive, I found myself throw many of the same shots on back to back holes, a lot of hyzers, a few anhyzers rhbh.

--has the possiblity of becoming congested, although I was the only person in the entire rec area.

--all holes deuce-able

Other Thoughts:

-Holes range from 150 to 360 ft
-Playing 18 holes takes about an hour
-Bring your putter
--Bathroom facilities nearby
--Shelters
--Camping (Open may 1)
--Innova baskets
-- this is good for a warm up/ace possiblity course.

If you are traveling here know that this course is fun but lacks real challenge, for a real challenge you'd be well advised to head down to Centralia, Foundation Park.
