Cons:
Where to start..........
No tee signs.
All the tees are on the walking path, most are really faded, some are almost impossible to see unless you have the map in hand.
what the heck, I have to walk back and forth to play 5 holes in a row?

Other Thoughts:
Oh my, There is no way a course designer did this course.
I will admit that each hole by itself are sort of ok, it is just a very poor course to play.
If you look at the map you will notice there are suppose to be long and short tee's for each hole. The shorts are all sort of marked on the sidewalk. The longs were marked with a different color pain and it has mostly faded away.
Hole one is simple enough, a too long of a hole over a field of mudbugs (Crawdads, or crayfish) to a basket near a tree.
Then you have to walk back across the park to hole 2 that throws down the side of a field with some rough on the left and the soccor field on the right. Against, loaded with mudbugs. It is an ok hole other than you are throwing down a popular walking path. (same one you are teeing off from)
Basket is in the edge of the park in a nice green area.
Hole 3 is a interesting hole. You again are throwing down the walking path with one large bushy tree in front of the basket that is actually back into a very very small clearing in the rough. You wan to land between the basket and that large bushy tree to have a chance for the putt, miss your putt and you are in the deep stuff 3 foot behind the basket.
Not much to say about the next 5 holes. Look at the map on this page. You basically are throwing from the walking path 5 times in a row threw a group of trees to the basket about 250 to 270 in the open area between the trees and soccer field.
I am sorry, it is horrible design to have to walk back and forth on 5 holes in a row.
Hole 9 is again, back to the sidewalk to a basket down by the tennis courts. (across a field of, you guessed it, mudbugs)
I can see what the course designer was trying to do, I just think it could have been done MUCH better.
I can not recommend wasting your time playing this course.
I know I will never be playing it again.
A small town 9 hole course in a small park like this should be a pitch and putt course. Re design the course going around the park, you could make a more fun recreational course out here. You can always make up a safari tees if you want a challenge.
