Good beginner friendly course with a great view

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand new DISCatchers
Well done paver tee pads
Good tee signs, even though all holes are visible from the tee
Located in a nice downtown park
Does a good job staying away from the park walking paths
Nice, beginner friendly layout
Good use of elevation, uphills, downhills, sidehills and flat holes

Cons:

Not a lot of challenge from intermediate and up players
Ground was very soggy in a few spots, hopefully this is temporary
#6 heads away from the other holes, then you need to walk back that length to #7
Parking lot is kind of small, could get crowded on busy days
Looks like a popular park, other users may be in the way at times.

Other Thoughts:

The course info says this was installed in the summer of 2022 to judge interest in the sport, since it is still here, that must be a good sign. Dartmouth is located right across the harbor from Halifax, the Capital of Nova Scotia. With a population over 400,000 it would be nice if this area had more courses than this one. (There is another course about 30 mins outside of Halifax, but something closer would be nice for a city this size.)
All of the holes here are primarily straight, with a little bit of shot shaping needed. They range from 150' to 255', so not super short, but manageable for most newbies.
I didn't see any restrooms or water avaialble when I was there, so plan accordingly, although you probably won't be here very long, unless you play multiple rounds.
The Park is very well taken care of, well landscaped and no debris laying around, its located on a hillside overlooking the harbor and Halifax, a really cool setting.
