Beginner course. 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 1, 2009
Played the course:once
Pros:
*Absolutely do not drive out of your way to play this course if you are looking for a challenge. It is super short and easy.*
The course is located near a large popular lake. The drive to the park is scenic. The course is flat with water in play on several holes. There are some scattered trees in a few places but most of the course is fairly open. The parking lot leads to a boat launching area.
Nice cement tee pads, tee signs, and baskets.
Super beginner friendly.

If you like to fish and camp this might be a good destination.

Cons:
-weird/long walk from front to back nine
-hole one has play ground equipment in play if bad shot
-hole 5 plays over 3 picnic benches, will be dangerous/unplayable if people are there
-fishermen park right in front of 8's teebox
-only 6 holes over 200' none over 300'
-not a big variety of shots the majority holes that are either straight without obstacles, straight with guard in front of basket or hyzer (rhbh), this excludes hole 6, and 11
-fun but too short for anything serious

Other Thoughts:
This is a good beginner course, the back nine is wide open mostly and the front nine is a bit more wooded. I would avoid this course on a busy weekend, as it looked like it could be a popular family area and thus dangerous.
It is a fun course however and you can definitely work on your putter tee shots. Every hole is aceable.
