Pros:
This course offers a large variety of shots. It is one of the best pros about this course. Most of the front 9 forces excellent height control or you must be able to throw rollers. The back nine is a welcome difference after playing the somewhat technical front nine. There are a few long holes that allow players to grip and rip but still must be aware of where the disc lands because there is still OB and trees to contend with.
I have been to a number of courses where I find myself using the same few discs because the holes don't force different tee shots. This course offers many shot types off the tee including, rollers, hyzers, anhyzers, hyzer flips, force flex shots, and most of the holes have multiple options.
Cement Pads
Practice Basket (although pretty low to the ground)
The back nine has all the same baskets (Chainstar)
Restrooms open during the season and a portable available during the off season.
In addition to the cement tees, two more sets of tees. One set being shorter/combined with cement tees and the other set being longer. Other than the 8 combined white/red tees, these alternate tees are natural. For the most part they are good for footing but after a heavy rain, a few of them can be slick.
Cons:
Other than the 8 combined white/red tees, these alternate tees are natural. For the most part they are good for footing but after a heavy rain, a few of them can be slick.
The front nine has a few baskets that are Chainstars and the rest are older mach 3s. The mach 3s don't catch as good as other premier baskets I have played. It would be a welcomed upgrade to replace these baskets.
A few of the baskets are lower to the ground. they don't seem to be cemented into the ground which would explain some of the sink that has happened on a few of them.
A few of the holes can be unplayable (unplayable meaning that you have to skip it because there are pedestrians too close to the fairways) due to other park activities taking place such as soccer or flag football. This is not often but it does happen during the busy sports season.
What the course makes up in shot variety it lacks in elevation change. The course is flat.
Other Thoughts:
Hole 6 is something that many players don't like because it is challenging. I will take hole 6 at this course over a poke and hope wooded hole or wide open hole every time. The reward for throwing 2-3 good shots consecutively is very evident on hole 6.
The local leagues happen weekly and usually yield between 10-20 players.
There is a bit of a walk from 18 basket to hole 1 tee pad. This is unfortunate but is part of the design to use the park the best way the designers saw fit. I personally don't mind the walk but sometimes after a bad round no one likes to look in the distance and realize they have to walk over 500 feet back to the car.
The title of this review is hidden decent course because it is located right in the middle of Fort Wayne and Toledo. Unless you are from the area, most people venture to Toledo or Fort Wayne to play when they are up this way. I would say that this course is as enjoyable as any course in Toledo or Fort Wayne with the exception of maybe one course.
