~ New signage just installed. They're just numbers without any images of the hole layout, but given the old signage was non-existent this is an upgrade.
~ Some new tee boxes. Some holes have concrete pads, but those without concrete now have a leveled pad covered in turf.
~ New layout starts and finishes at the rear parking lot. The flow is slightly easier to follow than the previous layout. Recommend using UDisc app for first-timers as they have updated the layout there.
~ A pleasant mix of holes. Some water hazards. Some very tight / technical holes. There are now a few Par 4's on the course. (Old course only had Par 3's).

~ Some of the old baskets are still set up even though they aren't used anymore. This can be confusing.
~ Some of the Par 4's are *really* long or somewhat boring. They seem to be included to make the course flow better between holes so you aren't walking long distances... but you can really feel the design stretching to accommodate them.
~ Some of my favorite holes from the old layout didn't make the cut, and some of the new holes don't live up to the others.

I'm really glad to see that Lakeview Church is making renovations to the course. It always felt somewhat neglected as the old layout had missing signage and some tee pads were just marked with surveyor flags. While this isn't a huge facelift for the course, it definitely makes it feel more 'legitimate'... Kudos to whomever did the new layout and got everything together!

~Parking right at the 1st tee.
~Nice variety of hole layouts / good mix of shots needed.
~Ample elevation changes.
~Peaceful setting.

~Lack of concrete pads & poor condition of current tees.
~Tough navigation for a first time visitor.
~No trash cans throughout the course.
~Permanent tee signs/hole maps are needed.

First visit was to play in the Lakeview Open C-Tier on an unseasonably warm and sunny November day. The weather was wonderful, and course was a blast to play. Layers of fallen oak leaves covered the ground, so a watchful eye was always needed to keep tabs on your discs. Long tee positions are newly established, taking the challenge of this course up a couple notches. Currently most of the tee pads are natural and uneven. Concrete tees would automatically up the rating. As a LHBH player an understable mid and fairway driver always kept me near the fairways on the right handed favored holes. There is a nice balance to the layout catering to both righties & lefties alike. There is some variety to distances as well, but the majority of holes are playable with mids and fairway drivers. This course has been in for a while now, but you still feel it's slowly getting broken in and comfortable. With Tri-C & Veterans both nearby, Parma has a tantalizing trifecta in it's backyard.

Great use of available land. Lots of abrupt elevation changes. Currently, nobody seems to know about it, so it's a good alternative to the crowded Veteran's, nearby. (Tri-C is also a decent course, but doesn't compare with the other two because it has no woods.)

One hole (5, I think) is too close to backyards.
I won't play two holes, as designed: 10 goes over the lake, and 13 has a tunnel fairway with tall marsh grass that I'd never want to look for a disc in. For 10, I shoot at 14's basket, and for 13, I shoot from the edge of the grass. I make them par 2s.

There was a bit too much muck on the course, last year. It would be nicer if the brush on the ground was cleared away, to dry out the ground near the water hazards, and to deter spiders from building their nests where beginners seem to bomb their discs. I recommend checking out Roscoe-Ewing for some examples of cleaner shores.
