Reviewed: Played on:Sep 11, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fairly open and moderately short. The back nine does allow for those who have big guns to really let loose, as it holds five of the courses eight par 4's. Some holes do possess a level of challenge when playing through the lightly wooded front nine.

Cons:

Tee areas can be difficult to locate, mostly on the front nine. They are only marked with paint on the grass or at best a small flag. The back nine is more clearly marked. The grass was not well maintained.

Other Thoughts:

The river can come into play on four of the holes (2, 8, 9, & 10), especially for the beginner. Watch hole 8, it is a short one. Don't over throw it, or you will lose a disc.
Being a new course, I hope some improvements will be made for next year as far as the up-keep, tee pads, and tee markers. All in all, still fun to play.

Pros:

Very Open, Good for a beginner

Cons:

Not well marked (yet?), many of the holes are around other park fixtures

Other Thoughts:

There will probably never be T-boxes, I spoke with a park operator, and they don't want more things to mow around. They are just putting together some good maps. Over time this course may get some upgrades, but for now... it feels like they rushed to put it in.

McCurdy Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 7, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Cons:

The lawn maintenance is bad. The back 9 was mowed by a friend and I with our own mowers, just so you could enjoy playing it. Mosquitoes are TERRIBLE so be prepared. No markers to detail which hole is which. Occasionally "maps" are left on the ground next to orange flag marker # 1. Dont play on softball night in Corunna if you want to play all 18. Several holes are placed in areas by the game fields where unruly players have parked blocking the baskets and continue to do so week after week after week.

Other Thoughts:

Overall well worth playing all 18. I dont know who is in charge of this course, but it needs a lot of improvement. I have already started contributing my time towards maintenance and hopefully will be able to for the long haul.
