Pros:
The Outflow course near Mosquito Lake is a nice addition to the course across the road at Mosquito Lake Park. There is a decent variety of hole types here with the course playing through open fields, patches of woods, and near water with the adjacent creek. For being only ten holes, it covers a lot of distance measuring over 4,000 feet and having three par 4's and a par 5. This is definitely a bomber-type course with a few wide open shots over rolling hills as well as an uphill and a downhill bomb.
The aspect that I enjoyed the most about the course is the designer's use of multidimensional holes. Holes like 3, 6, and 9 change scenery and either play from the open to in the woods or vice versa. Hole 6 is a highlight and is probably my favorite hole here. It's a downhill throw that starts out in the open but plays through a tight gap in the woods.
Pin positions are well thought out and the greens are sometimes carved out within the woods to add to the challenge.
Mach 2 baskets are in great shape.

Cons:
The course flow is confusing and doesn't naturally go from one hole to the next. There were numerous times where I had no idea where to go after finishing up a hole, and there are a few times where you have to take longer, backtracking walks to the next tee.
The confusion is coupled with the fact that the tees are natural and some of the tee signs are faded.
Maintenance is good for the most part, but 9's green area was overgrown to the point where it was not even worth putting.
I can see some conflict with other park goers with the course playing near picnic tables and near the water where people fish. I didn't have any issues, but I had to be careful.
Keep in mind that it is only open from May-October, according to the course page.

Other Thoughts:
The designer made good use of the land offered and there is a nice variety of holes here. It offers a good mix of both challenging, longer holes and shorter, birdieable ones. This course has potential, and would really improve with better course flow and clear signage. Worth stopping by since it's so close to the other Mosquito Lake course.
