Much better than rated 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Tee pads are in and they are nice. Baskets are Predators with next tee indicators on the top. This course is not technical in that you need to find your line through a jungle of trees and brush but don't let it fool you. Lots of big mature trees, plenty of elevation changes and plenty of holes needing a good anny or hyzer means it's no walk in the park. Add to that some low ceilings on many holes and you have a challenge unexpected by its rating. This is no easy city park course. It's long, extremely fun and there are only a couple gimmes. 1 and 2 are great warm up homes, short enough for a mid toss. Don't go long or you'll clear the 8' fence that separates the frolf course from the golf course. (If you do, walk down the fence line. Someone did a job of making a large round "gate" to get through.) Not only are the holes long, the tee pads are not right on top of each other. You'll get a good workout here.
We played this course on a perfect Saturday and it was not at all crowded. Plenty of space and a beautiful course. This course ranks up with Idlewild, Lincoln Ridge and others in the area but for different reasons. Think of it as a really big Belmont. As I said annies and hyzers but not simple. Elevation changes mean you must account so you have room for the flex. Rollers will get eaten by the trees. It's a course that will challenge anyone to place your shots carefully to have any chance at the birds.
Lastly, it's open, the grass is mowed and there really isn't a chance to lose a disc unless you go way off the mark. Overall, a great course. I could easily see Pro T's here in the future.

Cons:

None really but there are no restrooms out on the course and its open nature means you can't duck in the woods for a break. The first couple holes are close to picnic areas but we had no issues with people getting in the way but you have to watch.

Other Thoughts:

This course has a relatively low rating I think just because of the lack of pads. That's fixed. The signage is good, the pads are good, the space is great and the course is now one of my top 5. It's worth a drive if you want to challenge yourself.

Pros:

Nice park
Long course
Good location
Great signage and teepads

Other Thoughts:

Very well maintained now. The course has undergone some much need changes and the teepads are superb now. Hole changes and some tree clearing. And they have the Top Notch Predator baskets as well. A must stop and play Course
