Reviewed: Played on:Sep 7, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course offers a nice mix of moderate and longer length holes. The flow is logical and there is good signage and new DGA baskets with next tee arrows on top of them. The course is clean and plays around a park and school grounds.
There is a kiosk at the start of the course with scorecards.
Hole 1-slight dog leg to the right and plays slightly downhill
Hole 2-uphill shot with a sharp dog leg right and the basket is tucked into the tree row
Hole 3-dog leg to the left, tunnel shot off the box
Hole 4-wide open
Hole 5-plays on the backside of the football field
Hole 6-open shot
Hole 7-dog leg to the right with 2 trees off of the box
Hole 8-dog leg to the right and the basket sits behind the gap in the tree row
Hole 9-dog leg to the left

Cons:

Some of the signs here seem to be facing the wrong direction, don't know what that was about. The tees for holes 4-6 are a bit on the short side. There are no alt pins here either. The walk from 3's basket to 4's tee is a bit long, but necessary to bypass the soccer field.

Other Thoughts:

This is a nice 9 hole course that will provide you with a decent challenge. Wind could be a factor on some holes depending on which direction you were throwing. You will want to stay on the fairway because the rough is thick in spots and thorny in other spots. Getting back onto the fairway could be added strokes for sure.
Overall this is a pretty good 9 hole course that is worth the play if you are close by.

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Variety of types of holes and tee shots on this course, ranging from absolutely wide open to enclosed and narrow all the way. Poured concrete tee pads. Signs at each pad and an arrow sticker on each pin pointing to the next pad (not that you'll need it, the paths are pretty well defined and there is a map at tee box #1) Well kept park and mowed nicely.

Cons:

No multiple pin or tee box locations, so you'll be presented with the exact same challenge everytime you play. There are several spots where poison ivy is growing, so be mindful. Hole 3 could use some work, like thinning out some of the brush around the pin to give 2nd option on an approach shot. 1 or 2 more trees could be cleared out on #9 to make the tee shot more practical.

Other Thoughts:

Brand new course and not very busy. A good place to stop by if you're on your way to the lake.
