Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 24, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is really fun!

First of all it has some really big open elevation drop shots. Who does not love big open holes?

Secondly, most of the landing zones or greens are small areas between the sidewalk and creek that winds through the park. You have to be able to hit these defined zones or it will cost you stroke.

The creek is not really deep enough to lose discs in but it still provides a good pucker factor.

Cons:

Not much technical requirement to play this course other than being able to land in a specific area. Most of the holes are big air (which I actually love so I put this as a pro also).

No restroooms.

No distances posted which would be nice to know, especially for first timers.

The teepads are a little worse for wear. Concrete would be nice.

I don't like the long chain link fence that defines the left side of one of the fairways. If you fade over it you have to get creative to get your disc back.

The only water you can really lose a disc in is the little pond and the only way you will do that is if you make a serious mistake or hit one of the newly planted trees in front of the teepad.

Other Thoughts:

This was the first course I ever played so it has a fond place in my heart. I'm glad they revamped it and I'm glad they did such a good job on the revamp.
