- Some tee signs/maps are missing

- Very easy to lose a disc on the back nine

Other Thoughts:
Overall I did not have a positive experience with this course. A few of the holes had some charm, but otherwise you are throwing within a "park" in the loosest description of the word.
You'll be near the park roads for half of the course, and holes 1-5 and 16-18 pretty much kill any charm this course might have had.
Holes 6-15 weave through the woods and take advantage of elevation changes, but if your throws are off you'll do quite a bit of searching in the thick scrub surrounding the fairways. There's probably untold amounts of poison ivy lurking in those woods.
That said, there were some fun and interesting holes, but nothing strong enough to overcome the negatives from the rest of the course.
Playing the Flat Rocks course (and hour south of the Horns Hill park) later the same just emphasized what a letdown Horns Hill was.
Glad to have checked it off my wish list, but I'll never play the course again even if I was in the area already.
