Really nice mix of open and wooded shots on this course. The wooded holes, in particular, not only give variety to this course, but to the Rocky Mount courses in general - no other park in Rocky Mount really gives you that deep woods feel.

All the fairways on the course were reasonable and required a variety of shots to set up for a birdie.

Overall, a huge improvement on the NCC course - I'd say it's now my favorite in the RM area (which is already AWESOME).

Some holes have gravel tees, which are pretty good, but others have "natural" tees. Some of these weren't even close to being flat - they were inclined and covered in roots, making it difficult to really put power behind a shot.

There were also a couple of areas in the wooded portion of the course where navigation was spotty. I would recommend having a copy of the course map with you when you play it for the first time. A few next tee arrows would easily fix this.

The road is a factor on a few holes, but in my experience it's not especially heavily trafficked.

I can't believe a city as small as Rocky Mount now has five full-length courses, but I love it. Kudos to whoever is behind this in the community.

I would encourage anyone who has written a review previously (for the former 9 hole layout) to play the course and update their review. I would hate for anyone to not play this course due to the low rating.
