Pros:
It's a complete park course. Water, distance, elevation changes, good tee boxes, and multiple pin locations, some short, some long, some open, some tight, what's not to love? Of the courses I played in Washington this one so far, is the most complete course. It has all sorts of different shots and even has more than a couple holes that are open, which is rare for Washington. Sixteen is unique with the basket in a "tree hole" and then there is a mildly confusing walk to seventeen. The first five holes are pretty tame and treeless. Seven-B plays through some interesting trees on the side of a hill. A pond comes in play on the back nine. My favorite hole on Lakewood was twelve, it was playing 650. I like the way the disc golf course uses space that would otherwise seem wasted like hole 10 behind baseball fields and the nearby neighborhood.
Cons:
I played just as a nearby Jr. high or high school got out and I was invaded by about 100 kids for about ten minutes, it was strange. Because its in a big park it loses Washington's woodsy rain forest setting that Washington is know for. I rate this course just behind NAD Bremerton, but it has more variety than anything I have seen in Washington.
Other Thoughts:
It was at Lakewood that I learned a hot tip. Play new courses the day AFTER a tournament. The course is in tournament shape, the signs are all out, unvandalized and there are still maps in the kiosk. I know the local "guy" who takes care of the course would front but I'm willing to bet that two weeks before the tournament there wouldn't any maps in the kiosk, just random notes from people slandering the good "guys" name. A note from some dude wanting his Wraith back if found, but not a map, I'd put 20 bucks on it. (That's a big reason why sites like this are so helpful).
