Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a small town park that is very well kept. It's a very quiet and peacful park.

When you arrive park near the restrooms where the pop machines are located. There is a practice basket located nearby. The tee pads are not marked so finding them is difficult. Look for wood chips. I asked the park guy to mark them with flags.

The course flow is pretty good. There are no long walks.

There are mature trees, rolling hills, and a pond which add challenge.

This is a very beginner friendly course and a good additon to an area that does not have many course.

Cons:

The tees are very hard to find. There are no tee signs. They are wood chips laid on the ground.

The land offers some really awesome holes which the designer did not utilize.

This is a pretty short course. More skilled players will throw a mid range or putter on most holes.

Other Thoughts:

I talked to the park worker and this course is still being worked on. Tee signs are still being made and they may possibly add more holes.

Tee locations.
#1. Near the road under the trees.
#2. On the elvated area framed by wood.
#3. Just right of the basket near the road.
#4. Across the road by the tree line.
#5. On top of the hill.
#6. On the flat just back of the path that runs down the pond.
#7. Right behind the building.
#8. Between 2 trees near the creek.
#9. Just northwest of #8's basket.
#10. Walk up the stairs and hang a left. The tee is in the grass.

If you are in the area i'd stop to play it. I wouldn't drive to far out of the way to play this course. If it had tee signs I would have rated this course. 3.0.

This review is no longer accurate as all 18 holes have been installed and the existing 10 have been revised. New concrete tee pads and signs have been added as well.
