Pros:
Nice tee pads and baskets. For a player of my skill level it's nice to play a course for fun and be -9 or so after 18. A great place for beginners to get some confidence. I've played here for 2 years anytime I get to town. They have added signage with a really neat feature. You use can QR scanner to scan the sign and see a drone fly through of that hole. For big time courses here is an example of catering to players.
Cons:
Nothing really negative to say given the course is designed for family fun instead of a challenge to experienced players.

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
This short 9 hole course is a perfect fit for the plot of land that was available.
There is an excellent kiosk next to the parking lot with a good map and printed scorecard/map. Good Innova Discatcher baskets.
Large gravel parking, and the cleanest Porta-Pottie that I've ever seen. From the sticker inside it is serviced twice a week. Nice!
Dirt tee pads outlined with landscape timbers are adequate, given that you likely won't need to use a run-up on any of these holes.
No tee signs, but with typical hole lengths of 150' it is not difficult to see the basket. The scorecard/map provided hole distances.
This is a perfect course to work on approaches and putting. Some may not care for the lack of driving opportunities, but play a few putter only rounds and work on that aspect of your game. There are enough trees to provide some opportunities for line shaping.
Hole 8 is a 259' Par 4, so gives a great Eagle opportunity (?!?).

Cons:
It is a short course. Period. No reason to come out here if you want to practice long drives. No elevation change.
Other Thoughts:
This is the perfect Pitch-n-Putt course. Not particularly challenging but a perfect place to practice a short game.

Great Blue Level Course 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Dec 20, 2010
Played the course:once
Pros:
Great design for a Blue Level course. All teh baskets are new, there are benches on every hole, there are trash cans on every hole, there is a nice kiosk, & good signage. Although the course is short, it forces different shots (hyzers, anhyzers, flicks, etc.)
Cons:
This course is very short. VERY SHORT.
Other Thoughts:
Even though this course is short, it is, IMO, better than Nani Falcone which has a lot of longer holes. Just take a mid range and a putter and have fun on this course. It does a great job of meeting its intended goal, being a blue level course.
