Other Thoughts:

This private course has few redeeming qualities other than the holes that play around the pond. There are lots of other park amenities in play and lots of residents around so there are a number of safety issues here. The holes that share a basket are all basically the same hole; the two tees are usually within 40' tops from each other with identical shots. So this is really a 10 hole course.

If you actually live here it is probably a decent place to practice. You'll get lots of experience playing the wind on these wide open holes. Anyone else should just go to Wilco if you're looking to play in this area. For you course baggers that will come here anyway you shouldn't have much of a problem playing here so long as you are friendly to any locals that might be at the park and don't throw to close to anyone.
