Played the course:once
Pros:
--- Just because I played this course during a crappy time of the year doesn't change the fact that during that part of the year the course was not good, and is why my review says so... knowing this before you read on, please don't say my review isn't helpful because you disagree with my score.
(THIS IS A TEMP. REVIEW -> Since this course was played in the winter when the park was pretty much shut down.)
PROS: Well it looks like it could be a fun course.
Baskets are all white and easy to spot. Detailed maps at the toll booth.
Two tee boxes for each basket.
There were a few good elevation changes, and a few different shot types.

Cons:
(I like free courses but still don't mind paying) this course was on a state park so it is $2.00 per car to get in.
Baskets were home made and made well, but only had a single ring of chains, which I've seen a disc go through the chains and bounce off the center poll out of the baskets as well and a disc going through both sides of the chains past the poll and out the other side.
The tee pads are dirt (mud in the rain) and are marked only by a 4 by 4 laying across the front of the tee box area. It looked like they had painted the number and par on the top of them.. but it was mostly faded on all of them and un-readable. These 4 by 4's also presented a trip hazard since they were at least 3 to 5 inches higher than the rest of the tee area from prolong use and erosion. The tee areas also had un-even ground and roots coming through them, as well and being spread out to the sides from players making their own tee area.
There was no one at all at this park when I was there and I still felt crowed for some reason.
Course flow was not very good.
No distance markers on the tees, no numbers on the baskets... without a map this course is close to un-playable.
If it's wet, don't go... it's a muddy course.

Other Thoughts:
I still plan to go back in the summer and hopefully they will have painted the numbers again.
(I only played 9 holes, and it was raining so the rating could be higher in the summer and with the park getting a little more work.)
They need concrete tee boxes not just for the golfers, but to save the ground as well.
They need tee signs that are not at ground level if they don't get tee boxes that are more visible.
Need more chains on the baskets.
I WILL RE-REVIEW THIS COURSE IN THE SUMMER.
