If you've played any David McCormack you'll know aspects of this course. All the staples are there and those are both good and bad. First off, the things to like about this course

1. Multiple Concrete Teepads. This may not seem like a big deal but when you are the only course in a ten mile range it is important to add to allow for better tournaments and variety. Sometimes the long Blue teepads just add a little extra distance off the tee, other times they require a different line all together and make the hole play very differently.
2. Navigation. There is nothing more frustrating than wandering around a course in the woods where you can see multiple teepads and baskets and not know which one is next. Thankfully, not a problem here. There are arrows or spray paint any place where you may have a question.
3. Tee Signs. The signs are good. (however they do not have a marker to denote basket location.)
4. Technical. Tiny windows, elevation, poke and hope shots and designated layup zones. All aspects of his course design style are here. (some good, some less than desirable)
Holes I really like

first off, in general, holes 1-3 are a nice warm-up. For RHBH you get a straight/hyzer on 1, a turnover/flick on 2 and a definite flick on 3.

Hole 2. nice little turnover or flick with 2 well placed basket locations and very specific guardian trees. turnover is the shot for me but cut it too sharp and it will roll left and potentially far into the woods. The flick would require a bit more touch control

Hole 4. This is the first hole where you start to figure out what this course is all about. The gap you need to hit is 160ft down the fairway and is a 20-30ft across. This is really the only line to either location that isn't poke and hope. It's tough, but hit the window and it's right to the basket.

Hole 7. you really need to control the speed of your disc and it must land flat to slid up to the basket in A or B from the white pad. The Blue pad is difficult but fair as well.

Hole 14. If you have an anny flick in your bag then this is a getable eagle. If not it becomes a solid Par 4. You need a good placement drive and you really need to control your approach on a very fast green. Like hole 2, if you get either shot wrong they can roll far into the woods and guarantee a 4 at best.

Hole 16. A staple of McCormack designed course. If there are power/telephone lines you can almost guarantee a hole will have a downhill throw underneath them. The Blue pad to either placement is very difficult. The disc has to turnover right out of your hand but then immediately stable up but then stay straight. The fairway is wide enough to allow the disc enough room to the left to let the disc flatten out but its a very touchy shot (unless you throw a comet like MJ.) The big evergreen at the bottom of the hill on the left gobbled up all of my turnovers from the blue pad. They felt good out of the hand but stabled up before dropping. I think if I threw them a bit lower...who's to say really still an easy 3 at least. I put multiple throws inside circle 1 from the white pad to the B location.

Wooded courses can be a great equalizer for folks that don't have big arms or really want to perfect control, but then there are holes like those which I am about to describe. These types of holes can be found on several Gateway designed courses and all these do is frustrate you

The common theme on this course is that the Par 3's are standard fare and the Par4/5 are not

Hole 5 - Par 4. For this Hole you must throw a short putter down to a landing zone because the double mando right off the tee. Why not cut down a few trees and let aggressive players try to go straight up the gut with a big hyzer or give two options? The landing area is to big. The only risk is hyzering out too quickly but the punishment is still a par. An Anny flex with something like an X-Cal, Stiletto or Machete is possible but you need big power. As a Par 4 it's a very simple hole.

Hole 6 - Par 5. I get it. Tunnel shots are cool. They look the business and require accuracy. However when you stick the basket in the B location you are telling people there is no way to get a 2 (yes it's a "par 5" but really this should be a Par 3 in the A location and a Par 4 in the current B location. There is a 1% chance of a 2 in B. You would need 450ft power and a flair skip that went 80 feet left uphill and flared somewhat backwards. As a Par 5 it's an easy birdie and a 50% eagle for me. Just poor design. The A location should be about 20 feet closer and the B location should be in between where A/B are currently and they should both be Par 3 . Also it's really only playable when trimmed back like when I played it. The fairway could and probably does get too narrow if not trimmed. I did some light pruning while I was there to remove several low hanging branches 40-50ft off the tee.

If you are a beginner or Rec level player prepare for frustration ahead. if you thought the tunnel placement in B was ridiculous.....

Hole 10-12. What is up with these Par 4 and Par 5 holes. Poke and hope. forced short layup zones just off the tee. Sure they are Par 4/5 but making holes like these is just overthinking. There is actually enough space to make 4-5 holes out of the land used to make just 3. Worst of all is that you will still come out likely under par on these holes because you can just throw short putter shots and make it to the basket for par. No need to describe all the holes but briefly, hole 10 is total poke and hope off the tee, hit and tree before the hill and it's a 4 or worse. Hole 11...a forced layup zone hole.
Hole 12. It's 400ft and a Par 5...Exactly.. more specific landing zones. so much more could have been done here. 3 holes could have been cut from this 1 hole. The drive off the tee is just making sure to get the corner while staying on the fairway. If all of your shots land in the fairway it's a bird.

Hole 18. Why is there a double mando? In my opinion its to try and rule out eagle opportunities. The same with those 2 little trees left on the left side of the fairway. I would remove the right mando tree and the little trees right next to it to open the fairway a wee bit more. Those changes would make this a great score separation hole for those who can smash their drive up there

I like technical holes with lots of lines and this course has the potential to be that. a tree down here or there and this course will really be special.

My perspective. 925 rated player and still going up with a crummy forehand but excellent throwing putter/mid game. I loves wooded courses and hope to one day be the next MJ or Cale Leiviska I played this course from both pads. First round Blue, 2nd round white. The course plays better from the Blue pads with the exception of Hole 16.

My scores for the day
Blue Pads.. 58 from Par 63 -5
White Pads...57 from Par 63 -6

Nicely laid out. Holes 1 and 10 start by the lot, 9 and 18 end by the lot so playing either 9 is easy.

Variety - lots of tight, wooded lines, elevation changes and doglegs. You can use a variety of throws to work on your repertoire.

UPDATE 11/22: They have started pouring concrete for the tees. Most look like they will have 2, except for hole 5. Not sure what they will do there. Most are pretty close together. Time will tell.

No tee pads, just grass. (UPDATE 11/22: Pads are being poured) However, you can get away with never having to drive, so it is only an issue if wet.

Can be frustrating at times because it's so technical.

Great park that gets better each time. They keep clearing out more areas, added 10 benches (because the back 9 is a little hike), and plenty of trashcans.
Despite all the trashcans, there is a lot of glass around the area, leftover from years past.

Its fairly easy to navigate for a first time player of the course.
Has 2 different tee pads and pin locations
Fun mix of forehand and backhand
Personal I like the tight tight tight lines its very challenging

As a brand new course its hard to nit pick the course it's a young course that's still being worked in so I can't say there are too many flaws in the course design.
Only draw back is the poison ivy all over the ground but they will go away with foot traffic.

Its a challenging course for players of all skill levels, as this course matures and gets worked in its going to become a great course.
It does punish the player for missing the line that is cut
