Beautiful! Every tee has two great concrete pads, a bench each, an informative nicely illustrated sign that is an A+ guide to each hole, a broom on a hook to sweep each pad, another (3rd) beginner tee up close, beautiful baskets - uniform, numbered, white, with course logo on each. Excellent parking area with putting basket. Beautiful terrain...for a hike or a mountain bike ride, or maybe two holes. Excellent steep undulations and hummocks abound, could be great for a game. Yes it was buggy, very, but mostly in the swampy searches for discs pinged into the woods off trees - the cons.

The trees. I love trees. I see markers on some that look like they may come down. I'd prefer not to lose any trees in this beautiful pristine area by the manchester river. But the course is unplayable. Every hole is marred by, oh say ten to forty trees on the fairway. Not thin targets through trees, those too, love those. Not branches or obstacles with "personality." So dense I don't see how this was approved. PDGA? C'mon. Let's hear from the real pros after a number of tourneys.

In conclusion, full respect for getting the land in the city area for free use and access, to the designer for completing this serious effort, to all the hard work and care that did and still goes in. Courses are so rare, you take what dedicated park land "available" you can get. They got so much so right. Their heads and hearts are in the right place. The course, even if you love woodsy courses, is not.

Perhaps they can move some holes to the edge of the field for some variation. Can't fault course for baskets, but faulting baskets: What is with the trend toward the 4" wide band around the top? It's 4" of no basket for no reason. Is there a shelf on an NBA rim? Preferable is same wire width of basket wire.

I think the answer is more trees down. Baskets, like 18, can always be moved. A remodel in a few years.
