-good mix of open and wooded holes
-nice variation of shots
-holes 4 and 14 allow you to bring out your biggest drivers yet still require good placement
-typically not too crowded
-fairways are (mostly) well kept
-11 has a really cool elevated basket
-next tee signs are mostly accurate

-rough is VERY tall in the summer. You'll spend at least 5 mins, if not more, looking for discs that strayed off the fairway.
-speaking of the rough, be wary of snakes, groundhog holes, thorns, and clingers while looking for discs. I came out of the round with many cuts on my ankles and clingers stuck to my socks and shoes
-wooded holes are rocky and tricky to navigate. Watch your footing!
-the park includes a baseball field and picnic pavilion which get busy on the weekends. People will park right on holes 1 and 2 making them difficult to play. We skipped these to avoid hitting cars.
-very hilly! 4-9 brings you down and back up an 80ft elevation change, and then up some more to get to the back 9
-the walk from 9 to 10 is very long
-not very beginner friendly
-baskets without next tee signs make it tough to navigate if you havent played there before

This was the first course I had ever played and back then I had no problem with it. But as I play more and more and on different courses, Hackett's Park struck a bad chord with me once I returned to play it again. We went on a beautiful Sunday afternoon but the park was insanely crowded because a baseball game had just finished and people were barbecuing at the pavilion. I didn't remember just how overgrown the course is, or how rocky it was up the middle of wooded holes. Even though I threw my first ever 400ft+ drive on 14, I can't give this course a good review due mostly to the cons above. It's an interesting course to play, and as long as you go in prepared you should have an okay time

Great layout concept.

Tee pads are obviously being constructed, some holes have new concrete tees, some have none. The signs that are there are misnumbered, it's obvious someone is tending to the course to make it better but according to the course map downloadable here on dgcr, hole 1 is marked as #11 on a sign. 2 is #12 and so forth.

I really enjoyed what this course is shaping up to be. Definitely needs signs, I got lost multiple times and had to ask others on the course. As it is heavily wooded in parts you aren't always certain which direction you need to go.

That said, I plan on going and playing this course again today as I now know where all the tees and pins are.
