The gnarlier of the two 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Challenging wooded course with some testing lines and elevation changes. Good variety of length and type of shot.
Beautiful scenery; lovely park.
Long/short tee pads and some alternative basket positions.

Cons:

Although clearly still a very good course, this was less fun to play than the other course on site (Whitetail) - the lines are mostly tighter (and less like the flight of a disc!) and the rough mostly rougher. This section of the woods felt more overgrown and there weren't as many scenic views.
It felt like on at least half the holes the basket is not visible from the tee - even on some quite short holes. This made playing solo quite frustrating as the aforementioned tight lines and thick(er) rough meant that I spent quite a lot of time searching for discs (although I didn't lose any).
As with Whitetail, the dirt tees might be difficult in the wet or if you're used to massive flat concrete tee boxes.

Other Thoughts:

$3 all-day entry to park = bargain.
Lovely picnic area by the lake.
Fantastic to have two quality courses like these in one place.
