Pros:

This course is intended to be beginner friendly; however, some holes were purposely designed to make intermediate players or better work to get birdies.

Hole #1 while intimidating it may look, that's the point. Don't feel comfortable with a backhand, try an overhand, sidearm or roller. Consider yourself lucky if you are a lefty.

Hole #2 is fairly straight forward.

Hole #3 does have a route(s). I've found three so far. Straight, anny sidearm, or f you look up spike hyzer. All the of those can get you a birdie.

Hole #4 is an easy bird. Don't mind the horshoe pits, they are not used from what I've been told.

Hole #5 is straight forward.

Hole #6 the "garden box" as a previous poster called it is actually a bocce court (Italian bowling) and yes you actually do play the game on a court, not in the sand at the beach or in the yard. Back to the hole, righty's can throw an anny shot, sidearm, or hyzer between trees over the parking lot.

I'll refer the final three holes to their current number as nine holes have been added to this course for a total of 18.

Hole #16 (formally 7) is the longest open hole around the main park (~330 ft). Bigger arms can easily get there, but beware of OB behind basket.

Hole #17 (formally 8) is somewhat interesting OB right, but beware keeping left as there is a large sign there that makes putting a challenge.

Hole #18 (formally 9) has a straight route or anny route. Both require to keep the disc low with a lot of power.

Cons:

Some of the natural tee-pads are uneven and can effect disc release.

Other Thoughts:

This course originally had nine holes, but now has 18. The holes added are numbers 7 - 15. These holes will be on the opposite side of the road from the park. After hole #6, walk over the gravel parking lot and across the road and you should find hole #7. I have not played the new holes as the baskets were just installed;, however, I did assist in the course layout. 2 or 3 of these new holes will be legit par 4's. You will have to layup on some shots, otherwise you'll have fun throwing threw young growth getting back to the fairway. Holes 7 - 15 should be more professional and challenging as this land does not weave around ball fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, bocce courts. etc. This land is mostly stand alone accept for some equestrian use, but the baskets and fairways should stay clear of this.

One more thing, these new holes will have elevation. Some of the new holes will be 400+ feet (hole #7 and #11).
