Cons:
-natural tees are not rutted yet but it looks like they are about to get there soon
-beware the fenced yard on hole 3, it's easy for a beginner to shank a hyzer in there and the fence has barbed wire
-no stand-out holes or memorable shots

Other Thoughts:
Haley Nelson Park is a nice, clean area that seems like it doesn't see too many patrons. It's a flat piece of land with many scattered oak trees that give you options for shaping lines off of many tees.
There isn't much to say about this course. It doesn't have any issues but it doesn't really have any strong points either. It is a great place to bring kids or beginners as there is no underbrush and not overly wooded. That said, it's a little on the longer side for a kid's course with the average hole length being 340'. Also beware of the fence on the left side of hole 3's fairway. There is a grouping of trees on the right side fairway so it's easy to push too far left and bring the fence into play.
The natural tees are in good enough condition for now but eventually it will become an issue. A few of them have softer soil that will rut much sooner. The tee signs are good and it's nice having a course map at the start but navigation can still be a bit tough the first time through.
Haley Nelson serves its purpose well but I imagine most players will be more attracted to the Galloway Hammond course down the street. That said, this is a quick stop and you might as well check out both courses in Burnet if you have the time.
