18 holes on the "advance/novice" layout (concrete pads), and 20 holes on the red/tiki layout. Course plays around the edge of a spacious city park. Decent mix of forehand/backhand holes with some low ceilings on a few holes and some challenging OB (but also see cons). Baskets are DIScatchers in good condition, and the grass was short and well maintained. Easy to get to, and bathrooms/water fountains are available by the larger parking lot. Tee signs are good, and also there are QR codes to download the course map.

The course is bordered by lots of water, which will come into play on a lot of holes. Most of the holes that are not bordered by water are bordered by a pair of baseball/softball fields that have locked up fences and will be hard to retrieve errant throws from, not to mention can be pretty packed. Football teams also like to use the area near 5/14 as a warmup area and that can be unplayable at times. Despite a red/tiki layout (not on the signage at the advanced pads), I would also not call this a beginner friendly course for the water hazards/baseball field hazard).

It's not my cup of tea, but there are enough likeable things about it. The course/park is really busy on the weekends, and you'd be better off if you can come here during the week. Lastly, you can play glow golf here, as the baskets have lights on the top, kind of a plus.

Has concrete tee pads

Has tee signs

More open than wooded fairways

Has next tee signs under baskets

Good use of surrounding water

Well-maintained

Free Parking (very limited if there are any soccer or softball games)

Restrooms

Fairways intersect on many holes

Some fairways are way too close to the softball field - not good if there is a game in progress

Course doesn't flow well

More tees than baskets

Park can get very crowded with other parkgoers - had to park in overflow parking on a Sunday afternoon

This is a beautiful course that is unique to me where a basket served two holes. This course really lacks the space of a 18 hole course and it shows that the designers made the best of what space they were afforded. With PGA National Park as the name of the park, I was expecting a lot more in better design. I think it would be better if the designers would trim this down to a 9 hole course.
