Pros:
Great redesign over the old layout. 18 actual tees and baskets, while keeping some of the flair that made the old course fun.
Easy parking all over the place, and easy to get to. Course is pretty well maintained except for around the treelines and creeks, but there are too many kids in this neighborhood to expect much more. Good thing is the creek is very easy to get down into for disc retrieval if needed. Grass has been maintained every time I have ever played there over the last 10 years.
City planted some trees a few years back that really helped on some of the open areas to add some challenge here and there.
The new backside of the course has added some fun challenges to this course. And the redesign made navigation a no brainer. I remember the old course and watching newbies have no idea where they are going.
Hole 15 allows even the big arms finally push some distance while allowing the rest to challenge for a good 3.
Hole 16 over the valley while not a hard shot, is aesthetically a pretty hole to play.
Hole 17 is a really fun hole if you play sidewalk and beyond right as OB. Really good challenge with lots of trees to dodge.
Hole 18 there are a couple of different lines available to play bringing in the pond and both FH and BH shots.
Such a great change to the old overlapping 18 holes.
Favorite hole on the course is hole 7. It is short, but you can throw anything on this hole. RHBH, FH, spike shots, OH, putters, skipping fairways. Always enjoyed this hole in the old layout, and still enjoy on new layout.
Cons:
There are a few of them here on this course.
Course is not in what I would consider a bad neighborhood, however I have always had sketchy vibes here. Definitely not leaving anything lying around in the back of the truck or in view while I get a round in.
Holes 5&6 are fun holes, however release early on RHBH and I've seen many discs end up in front yards.
Hole 17 as mentioned above can be a very fun hole. However due to the path around the lake, this hole can sometimes take a while to play. If there are walkers or just people hanging out and not moving, this can be a severe slowdown to finish your round.
Hole 18 is also another hole that is a fun hole, however same path can be a hinderance. Add the walkers on the path, and the parking lot in the very near vicinity. This hole can also take a while to play, and a bad shot the never comes back and you are bringing some cars into play also.
Worst hole is 18. Potential is there however that walking path is just a nightmare. And that teebox sign is so close to the box. City could not have moved that back maybe 2 feet???
Other Thoughts:
Great re-design. One of my son's favorite courses. I always park in the lot by hole 4 as that was the norm back in the day. Also due to walkers at the lake, I end up skipping 17 and 18 quite a bit so it is easier just to start on the old layout side.
Teeboxes are a great improvement over the old run out grass divots. Added trees also add much needed difficulty from the old course.
And glad they kept some of the design of the old course. Good mix of longer and shorter holes, open and with doglegs.
Go play the course and have fun.
