Solid city park course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

*course was fully finished in 2014. Earlier reviews that mention navigation problems should be read with a grain a salt. There are now tee signs at every hole and a large map on the kiosk (take a picture) to guide you. The club also stocks score cards (with maps) at the kiosk and the map on UDisc is accurate.

This is a well maintained city park. Grass is mowed frequently and permanent restrooms are open most of the year.

Challenging course with a lot of low ceiling shots, line drives and a roller game really help you to score low. Some form of OB exists on almost every hole, such as park roads and the pond, greatly increasing the difficulty. It may look like a normal city park, but read the OB rules on the kiosk or the provided scorecards and you will see why this course can have teeth. Keep the disc in the appropriate fairway and you can shot a good score.

Cons:

It is a city park, so it can be busy at times. These do not usually impact the play, but do require some public interaction. Most park users, when asked nicely, will gladly move so you can throw. Rarely a large party such as graduation or family reunion will force players to alter or omit one hole.

There are a few crossing fairways that can create backups on really busy days. This seldom happens, but it is good to be prepared for a little backup on two or three holes.

Other Thoughts:

This is the course closest to my house and I play it often. It has gradually gotten better, growing from 9 holes in 1994 with homemade signs and natural tees to its current finished state. The local club has been responsible for all those upgrades, through player donations or money and labor. They have done as good as can be done on the property that was available.

Good Course for Weekdays 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course layout with good signage on the tee of every hole.
Flat layout with good placement of baskets to make it a challenge to get close or go for the birdie.
Well maintained concrete tee boxes (for the white tees)
Variety of shots required, most have to keep low to avoid low hanging limbs of trees.
As a novice (I've been playing for 1 1/2 years), this course makes me try a variety of shots as a LHBH player.

Cons:

I played this course on a Wednesday late morning and it was fine to play but with all the kids activities and sports fields that the course winds through, it would be unplayable and not safe to play on say a Saturday morning.
There is a lot of walking that needs to be done between holes but nice job of fitting 18 holes in this park.

Other Thoughts:

There is a map at hole 1 tee and I took a picture of it so I could find my way around. I had to check it once during my first round and if I played there again (I'm vacationing in the area and this is the only decent 18 hole course I could find) I could find my way around without the map.

A Fall Classic 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 11, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

If you really enjoy a challange I think this is a great course. Its a great course to utilize a roller and there aren't many where rollers are so rewarded. There's a ton of o.b. that add to the challenge here.

Cons:

The crossing fairways are really the only negative I see when I play.

Other Thoughts:

I play this course in november for the haunted waters tourney so I can't speak to any issues the rest of the year.
