Decent, but could use a little love. 2+ years

Pros:

9 hole course located in a multi-use park, with baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and open space for use.

Nice Discatcher baskets, all mounted well enough, and caught well. One pin position per hole.

Decent signs, with hole number, distance, and a layout of the hole. It was odd, though, that the maps didn't necessarily point ahead. You have to do a little deciphering to figure out direction on a couple holes.

Navigation was relatively easy, with hole 6 being the exception. You'll need to do some scouting to figure out where the basket is.

Natural tee pads, but they were plenty serviceable. One tee per hole.

The wooded holes offer some tight, technical lines. Hole 8 is nicely tucked into some heavy pines, which will punish an errant shot. I thought the land was used pretty well, as a whole.

A little bit of distance on a couple holes, and some shorter, ace run type holes. A decent variation.

Even with it's wooded holes, this course is relatively beginner friendly. Still a decently fun spin for others, as well.

Cons:

A couple holes could use some cleaning, with holes 6 and 7 being the main culprits. They're not severely overgrown, but they're not exactly pristine, either.

A few of the holes play around the road, which could be a safety hazard. Hole 2 also plays right at the furthest left field corner of one of the baseball diamonds, which can be a conflict.

Other Thoughts:

This isn't a terrible little course, but it's nothing to go too far out of your way for, either. Some wood-chipping and general maintenance would go a long way here.
