Super creative basket placement, concrete tee pads, clear throwing lanes, and lots of elevation changes come together to make this a great community course. Holes here include shorter, heavily wooded fairways with gentle turns, S-turns, and J-hooks (mostly favoring lefties), uphill, cross-hill, and downhill shots, and wide open, cross field shots with bigger distances. Many of the baskets are blind, but the obvious lanes make this a challenge rather than a frustration. The hidden over-the-hill and between the trees #4 and the between the trees down the slight hill and right to the clearing #9 are probably my favorite holes on this course, while the consistent wind gusts on #7 continue to thwart my putting attempts.

The lay-out, has plenty of flow and works its way from the bottom of the local sledding hill, around the right side, up the front, across the top, down the left side, through the woods, then down the hill and across the field back to the parking lot.

While there are lots of other activities happening in this smallish park, the designers have done a FANTASTIC job of placing the course to avoid throwing at or near the parking lots, the playground, the elementary school, and the tennis courts (one of my biggest pet peeves in course design!).

The lack of any signage at all makes navigation a bit frustrating, so it's a good idea to go with a guide the first time. ***UPDATE*** 4x4 posts with the top area painted road marker yellow, and hole number, footage, and an arrow showing general direction of the first throw have been added. they are bright and easily seen and haven't yet been destroyed by vandals like those at Kenwood Park. The lay-out includes a figure-eight design with a criss-cross and short hikes that disrupt the flow a bit between 7 and 8, and 16 and 17, but the features used on those hole make the walk worthwhile. Just go past the #17 tee and continue up the trail to the right to get to 8. Navigation can also get tricky where 10, 11, and 16 come together. Be sure to follow the trail outlined by logs and other deadfall. ***UPDATE*** The trails between the holes have been beaten well, so navigation has gotten much easier now.

There's plenty of sand on the course, which is to be expected since the entire area is basically a giant sand dune.

Watch for heavy poison ivy on holes 2, 3, 6, 8, and scattered throughout the fairway on 17.

A quick note on #3....#3 is a very tight right J-hook and the basket that you can see a short way up the fairway is NOT #3 -it's actually #18.

The navigation issues really didn't take away from the pleasurable yet challenging nature of the course. By avoiding most instances of hiking straight up and down the hill, they've made this course sustainable for a long time, even in our sandy area.

You'll want sturdy hiker to play this course.

There are no facilities at the park except for a water fountain at the top on the far side of the tennis courts. ***UPDATE*** A port-a-potty has been added at the tennis court parking lot. It was clean and stink-free today. You'll find this lot at the very top of the hill, to the left of and behind the school.
