Redesigned and Now Worth Playing if You're in the Area
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 9, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
Much needed redesign and refreshed layout! It's so much better than the old one.
Fantastic for the area, although not a destination course.
The rubber tees are in good shape for now, an upgrade from just grass in the old course. With this being the opposite of a crowded urban course, I'd bet the rubber mats last longer than expected.
Nice tee signs, so much better than the awful flush-with-the-ground cinder blocks that were impossible to find in the old course.
Nice mix of open and wooded holes.
Nice variety of par 3 distances, with plenty of short ones for beginners and a handful of holes where more experienced players can throw something else besides a putter.
Beautiful water carry on #2. Definitely the signature hole.
Course looked nice the day we played it.
Tranquil park in the middle of nowhere.
Your younger kids will love the playground equipment.

Cons:
Navigation is a challenge at times. Having UDisc's map along with me made it possible to find my way around, and even with it I had to put on my thinking cap a few times. Without it I probably wouldn't have found #13-#17 because I didn't see any "next tee" indicators anywhere and you have to walk a ways to a bridge that enters the woods for them. UDisc was the only thing telling me where to go and what to do.
Almost all baskets are still the weird old homemade-looking ones, with at least one real Mach 5 (I think). The homemade baskets aren't pretty but they do their job for the most part.
Experienced players won't be challenged here. A series of about five consecutive wooded holes near the end of the layout are very short and easy, 150' and some even under that, and there are a few others out in the open that are sub-200' as well. I did fan grip putter standstills in those woods holes at the end and had easy deuces on all but one of them.
Hole #12 (a wide-open sub-200' ace run hole) plays real close to a small parking area, and while we were there one car was parked where a new player could hit it on an early RHBH release.
The main park road is close to several holes. It isn't listed as O.B. on any of the signs but probably should be.

Other Thoughts:
This Easter Sunday I got a chance to finally see the new layout, and I was impressed overall with the new design and the look and feel of the course. It's a substantial upgrade over the old one!
Even though I didn't like the little short dinky woods holes from #13-#17, I imagine newcomers and youngsters would enjoy them. This is essentially the area's only course and I see nothing wrong with some of the holes geared toward more experienced players and some aimed at those just starting out.
I'd bump up the rating for better baskets and concrete tees, maybe even all the way up to 3.0's "good". I think a 2.0 "reasonable" fits now. It's indeed a reasonable course worth playing and decent fun too. Stop by if you're in the area.
