Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee areas: All holes, except #13, have tall tee posts, containing a map of the hole, and bag hooks. 10' long, rough concrete, trapezoidal tee pads near the tee posts. Many holes also had alternate (shorter) tee locations, 3'x6' rubber mats. Benches every few holes.

While I'm generally wary of playing a course sans map, this course was a cinch to navigate. All baskets but 15-17 had a "next tee" arrow atop them.

Practice basket.

Number-18 is nicely appointed - a mound of red mulch at the midpoint, with '18' "written" on its side using small white stones, with another mound guarding the basket, and an American flag far in the background.

Cons:

FLAT.

Mostly need to just throw straight, although a few right-turns are needed.

Other Thoughts:

The course plays in the flat, open space, located at the back of a public park, and is bounded by hedgerows and farm fields. Obstacles are few and far between on this course, so the length (average ~350'), and the seemingly omnipresent wind, will provide the greatest challenges. Other challenges include:
- About ½ the holes border fields/hedgerows, so too much turn/fade could cause problems
- About 1/3rd of the baskets are located behind man-made mounds of grass/mulch (or a stone wall, as in the case of #17)
- Holes 13 and 15 have alternate hanging baskets. Holes 5 and 11 also had alternate baskets
- A lot of small trees and bushes have been planted where 8-16 reside, but they are many years away from affecting flight paths

Course has lots of nice touches, but there's only so much one can do with a flat, open field.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 4, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very few players, never a wait. Pond comes into play. Many mounds and other minor hazards.

Cons:

A lot of wind. After hole 8, course seems to become redundant.

Other Thoughts:

As a beginner, too many of the holes seemed to consist of "throw it as hard as I can, then do it again". And once the wind took my disc way off into the adjoining farm.
