Pros:
+ A very good course in an easy to find park, with varied holes and terrain
+ Baskets are great, very good concrete teepads (see my pictures for reference)
+ I really like courses that combine wooded and field holes, and Moore really mixes 'em up, with 7 very technical wooded holes (9-12 and then 14-16)
+ Most of the wooded holes tend to be on the shorter side, but they require varied shots. A few of them incorporate a small stream
+ I like a chance to let it rip on the finishing holes, and Moore delivers. 17 asks for a good long forehand, and 18 is almost 700 feet down and across a field
+ Many of the "open" holes have been laid out to use the existing trees to cause you to shape shots, and not get away with wild bombing
+ One very nice touch: big pine trees play a significant part on some of the early holes, most especially #4. And tall pine trees tend to catch discs. You'll find a half dozen 12-15 foot lengths of plastic piping leaning up against the trees on #4 to help you knock down discs. I lost mine, but found a Roc that I was able to return to a guy who lost it two years earlier thrown at South Mountain (South Mountain to Moore Township? That's a hell of a shot!)

Cons:
- Finding the first tee is a bit of a challenge your first time there. There's a gravel parking lot across the road, so it's easy to access once you've confirmed you're in the right place
- No signs on any of the tees (although the posts are in). I understand this has been the case for a year or two. That's really the only thing missing at this course, but it's important. Without uDisc, I would have thrown at the 17th basket from the 13th tee
- Some of the baskets have arrows pointing to the next tee, but there are a few places where basket-to-next-tee navigation is a bit tricky. Most notable is heading to #14: take the trail back into the woods on the left, or you're going to find yourself backtracking from the 16th basket. But navigation is no problem after you've played the course once

Other Thoughts:
~ Moore Township Park is a good design, it's clean and well-maintained. The lack of signage is really the only negative, so make sure you have juice in your phone to use uDisc
~ Moore is a good course by itself, and it's location gives you the chance to put together a great day: with Yetter Park to the North, or a variety of excellent courses nearer Allentown to the South

Pros:
Variety of lines on holes.
Differing terrain: Woods, wide open bombers, short technical, elevation, creek comes into play, etc.
Clean park, zero trash and plenty of trash cans.
No overgrowth anywhere, course seems to be regularly maintained.
Concrete teepads.

Cons:
Some fairways play close to each other.
Navigating the front nine is a bit hard if its your first time.
Sign posts at the tees, however no signs are attached.
Is QUITE out of the way for those coming from the PA Turnpike.

Cons:

-no signs on the tee pads. they have concrete pads with a post for signs in the future.

Nice easy casual course. If you get beat up at some of the more difficult lehigh valley courses come here to work on your game.
