Now 18 Holes !!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 11, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Course has been upgraded to a full 18 holes. Holes 5-13 are new. What were holes 5-9 are now 14-18. This is a well laid out course using the terrain with some uphill and downhill shots. Two ponds come into play on holes 6,7,12,14,15 & 16 making for some interesting shots. Hole 12 has two pin placements, playing the longer pro pin makes for a much more interesting hole. Tee pads on the additional 9 holes (5-13) should be completed within two weeks along with signs. Currently, tee stations for these holes are marked on the ground with paint. You can pick up a map of the additional 9 in the park office across the street from the tank during business hours to make it easier to navigate until the completion of the signs and tee stations. Good signage with par listed for amateur and pro on each of the original holes, excellent baskets and concrete tee stations with good traction. Easy to follow course layout that starts and ends near basketball court. Convenient restrooms and drinking fountain near hole #1.

Cons:

The first 4 holes are not overly technical, mostly straight shots without too many obstacles, which could be a plus for beginner and intermediate players. Lacking tee stations on additional 9 holes that were just installed 7/29/11. Hard to find tee stations on additional holes, but should be fixed within two weeks. Water comes into play on 10 holes (4 on streams and 6 around the two ponds), for a more experienced player this could be a plus.

Other Thoughts:

Additional 9 holes are now available for playing in the north end of park. Very fun course. The additional 9 holes have added several technical shots that the course was lacking, along with several longer holes. Now, well forth the drive to play the new course. Park offers many other activities (tennis, horseshoes, basketball, playground, baseball diamond, sunken gardens, pavilions and several grills).

A good mix of 9 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Practice basket, very nice tee signs, a variety of holes, good use of park terrain

Cons:

Only 9 holes (there is plenty of room for 9 more holes), short tee pads

Other Thoughts:

This course is fun and utilizes many different shots. It's a shame that it is only 9 holes, but I usually play several rounds in one outing. There are not really any holes where you need to whip out a long drive as most holes are a bit shorter or obscurred by trees. I don't know about going out of your way to play this course but definitley play it if you are in the area or if you are passing through.
