Pros:
After passing by this exit nearly a dozen times on various road trips I finally found the time to pull off and play a round here and quite enjoyed myself.
-Nice, large teepads and new discatcher baskets
-Good signage showing all 3 pin positions with various pars based on pin position. There's also a Velcro marker for current pin
-Next tee signs in the bottom of each basket
-Plenty of parking
-Practice basket by the lot along with a course map.
-A nice variety of shots, including some lightly wooded holes. No true "woods" hole but enough trees to force a you to hit a line.
-Water carries but with the option to lay up safe if you don't feel like risking it.
-Some interesting pin placements that make putting a bit riskier. I noticed it most on holes 7 and 15.
-Lots of good amenities, including benches at each tee, trashcans throughout, bathrooms, shelters, picnic tables, on-site camping, water fountain near 8s tee, and plug in ports for EVs. Seriously some of the nicest features you could ask for.
-The park was well kept. The fairways were all mowed and the rough was never too bad, I even spotted a park employee out weed eating while I was there.
Cons:
-The biggest complaint is the long walks between several holes. The worst offenders were 9-10 and 16-17, each of which required walks of over 100 yards to get to the next tee. While this is a fair trade-off to create compelling shots and avoid other park activities, it was still quite exhausting after awhile.
-Some holes started to feel repetitive. There were several holes that we most open 250-350' throws in a field requiring little more than a power hyzer.
-There were a few safety concerns. At least 2 holes played over roads (maybe 5 and 15) while several others were bordered by walking paths. Hole 7 may have a bigger issue, the ideal line on the second shot of the par 4 was most likely over a playground area. A few other holes have you throwing close to the RV park, which never seemed at risk of being in the way, but it was in your head.
-This park is very popular with fishermen. On at least 1 hole I changed my shot to play plenty wide of someone bank fishing. Be sure to share the space!
-The park is also popular with geese. There is goose dropping all over several fairways so bring a towel.
-I played on a fairly damp day and didn't notice any issues but I'm told the course holds water, so be aware of that.
-A few of the Velcro current pin locations markers were missing from the signs.
-Navigation is tough. I'd recommend using UDisc or taking a picture of the course map by hole 1.
Other Thoughts:
I was tempted to give this course a 4 disc rating, it is quite good. If we had a more nuanced rating system I'd say it's somewhere around a 3.7 but the confusing navigation, long walks, and slight repetition ultimately landed me at a 3.5. It took me around an hour to play the course solo moving very quickly but I'd say a solo round would typically take around 1.5 hours here. Either way, it's worth your time.
