Played the course:once
Pros:
Aesthetic-- plays through the "backyard" of a middle/elementary school. do not play before 4pm on weekdays please!
Baskets-- all present and accounted for. would be nice to have the medallions to know where to throw.
Elevation-- what little there is is used nicely. along with the trees.

Cons:
Routing and nav-- makes no sense whatsoever. Tough to nav even with the maps provided.
Teepads and signs-- Rough! teepads are all mud/dirt but are marked with rocks or treestumps. Teesigns where present aren't exceptionally helpful. As I said, it's tough to know where to throw.
Risk v Reward- None.
Variety- None.

Other Thoughts:
Decent middle school course. nothing overly special.
We were asked by local PD to pass along to not play the course during school hours. It distracts the students.

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Solid layout, good use of trees to force interesting lines and keep you honest. Decent shot variety for 9 holes, with moderate changes in elevation on a few.
Pleasant quiet setting on public school grounds in a nice neighborhood. Ball golf course as a backdropon a few of the holes.
Dirt "tees" easily identified by two stones or tree stumps (with spraypainted hole# and distance) on either side of the tee box give the course a very natural look and made made navigation pretty easy my first time playing here. Combined intelligent lay-out that flows pretty naturally from hole to hole and I didn't spend too much time looking for the next hole (only in a couple of spots).
Course would work well for a round of Safari.
Course looked and played well, baskets in good condition, not much chance of losing a disc.

Cons:
Lots of short holes, could have made a couple of holes 300' or more.
Can't imagine you can play during schools hours.

Other Thoughts:
Probably not worth driving more than 20 -30 minutes to play this course, but if you live, work, or visit nearby, it's definitely worth playing a quick round (or three).
Admittedly, it's hard for a 9 basket course to get above 2.5 from me. That being said, this is one of the better 9 hole courses in the area. I liked playing here and, wish there was more, but 2.0 is all I can muster for this nice little course. Best the area has to offer.
