Aesthetic - There is a little creek running thru many of the back 9, the thick woods are nice, the cairns are well placed and add a nice backdrop at hole 3, I like the look.

TeePads/Baskets - First time on woodchips for me, and I didn't mind. I am a BIG FAN of the hanging basket hole, I couldn't hit that thing the way I landed, but it was so fun Putting from all around.

Signage - It's all right, above average. Reasonably eye-catching, includes distance, hole #, hole layout.

Variety - This could go be a con as well. FH and BH shots required. Easy water in play, very technical shots with very tight windows and tight runs, so tight that you need to make right angles. Short and one moderately long 430' run. However, no elevation, no real water risks.

Congestion - I was here in November, there were a few sets of people, but easily skipped over the slow group, and never saw the others.

Fun - I would say I had more fun at the start, the variety more so and longer runs in the first 2 to 4 holes. But the next 10 were so technical and I just wanted to throw, I felt bottled up, confined. It was fun, but not as fun as others in the area, and this park is out here a ways, even for people in the Northern suburbs.

Locatability - Easy to find the park and 1st hole. We did get tripped up finding the next hole a couple of times because we didn't expect to have to walk across the fairways and backtrack and sometimes there wasn't a "Next" arrow sign. Like after hole #1 we found #17 in the path clearing to the right, but don't go that way, follow the road. It is pretty easy, most of the time you'll see the next Tee Sign or there will be a "Next" arrow sign.

Challenge - I struggled with pro or con for challenge. There is challenge. No elevation changes. As of yet, there are good lines to throw as though they were designed in like other courses like Holly Woods or Seymour Lake so if you get a good drive, not a lucky drive you're getting a birdie. The challenge like others says, S curve runs, or throw a wall of trees in front of the basket so you must have your disc come back.

Maintained/Bugs - I went in late November, no bugs, and I can't say they would have to maintain leaves, but.. This place was overly moist and muddy. It's a park, I get it. But we go out a lot. Drainage probably wasn't considered, but it's not the end of the world. We didn't lose a shoe, its mostly the walk between holes.

What's holding it back from higher rating - Hole Design. Looking for a good line that doesn't run into a wall of tree's so you can drive and sit next to the basket within 15 to 30 feet and not be obstructed for a birdie shot if you had a nice drive.

Kid Friendly - My son liked it, and there were other kids here. They liked that each hole was short and very wooded so their drive was closer to their dads.

Older/Less Active Player Friendly - not sure on this, there is a long walk between some holes, and the muddy nature may cause some problems.

Rookie & Average Player Friendly - The short drives might make for some fun, and give them a chance to work on the technical shots as long as they don't get frustrated with all these trees and difficult S and L shots.

Pro Player Friendly - I think a pro may like aspects of this course but may get frustrated at some of the tree placements or lack of tree removals. And also the length of the overall course (i.e. length of holes in all).

Fairways and landing areas are cut back enough that it's not an exercise in bushwhacking. it's not an open course but I wouldn't call it tight.
I like the way the really short holes are set up so it isn't an easy throw.
The cairns on #3 are a neat touch
Well marked, hard to lose your way.
Low branches trimmed back on trees in fairways to make it a little more open.

By far the biggest is the fact that you have to walk into/across fairways to get to the next tee, it was not crowded the day I played so no problems but it has the potential to be a big problem.
A bit of mud when we played and there hadn't been much rain.
No course map on DGCR
lots of little trippy stumps.
Woodchip tees weren't to my liking, uneven.

The S shaped fairways are different, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. People complain about easy holes and hard holes, hey, play the courses you like and play the holes the best you can, I don't like 800 foot holes but that's just because I don't throw long, doesn't make the course bad.
I found it to be an interesting course and I've played a lot of them, I'll be back.
