Decent place to play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 22, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through a large flat park. Most of the holes play in mostly open areas with stands of trees. The design uses these tree clumps as much as possible to add some challenge on otherwise open holes. There is a good mix of distance on these open holes, with some ace runs, and some longer holes including a 700'+ hole with water in play along the left side. A few holes play through a small area of woods and add some tighter lines to hit and a different challenge.

The course has decent concrete tees, basic signage on most holes, and decent baskets. It's always great to have multiple courses in the same park, definitely a plus. This course does a better job of avoiding roads and walking paths than the high water course (though there are still some issues).

Cons:

The course is pretty flat and open, which makes for a lot of holes that feel rather repetitive. More holes in the woods would be a welcome change, though the wooded area is a bit limited. The signage is lacking here, many of the early holes have decent signs, but the end of the course is mis-numbered and several signs are missing altogether.

There are some navigation issues, especially with the missing signs. A few places are really not obvious where the next tee is, especially in the areas where the two courses play near one another. There are a couple holes that play near or over park roads, a bit of a safety issue.

Other Thoughts:

I liked the High Water course a little better than this one, but both are worth playing while you're in the park. This one just gets a little repetitive on it's own, though a breezy day brings a little more challenge on the open holes. I would have liked to see a little more use of the water to add some risk/reward opportunities. This course is a little long for beginners, but doesn't have too harsh of punishment for errant shots on most holes. It won't test the best players, and it's a little lacking in variety to bring better players back for multiple rounds.
