If you're allergic to poison ivy, you will probably get it if you play this course.

If it wasn't so bad, I would LOVE this course. so much fun.

Pros:

wide variety of hole types, long wide open, heavily technical, some really fun elevation change shots - mostly from high to low. you can get some really good exercise on this course at least more so than other nearby courses.

Cons:

Natural tees, some are sand and it is very hard to throw out of. holes are wooden posts no baskets. some of the posts are not secured very well and are leaning. The fairways are mowed but they are very narrow, and nothing else is maintained. sometimes the grass can get about three feet high. its by a river so in the summer it gets really buggy, I mean really buggy, I have turned around and went to another park after the first hole before.

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course in the spring time, it is very fun to play and it can be a good challenge. unfortunately the park is just not maintained very well. I have heard that there used to be baskets but they were all stolen. If this story is true you can understand why the county doesn't want to put more money into it.
