Other Thoughts:
Early November visit provided a secluded round within this wooded, technical course. I played the red tees for this first time visit and was overall pleased with the course. The park is beautiful and the course fits well within it's boundaries. Huge parking lot with a highly visible course map kiosk and practice basket right by Hole 1.
Tee signs are top notch and have a unique 8-bit Nintendo vibe. Good information on the tee signs including next tee information. Navigation throughout the entire course was made easy with ample directional aids, no map or GPS needed to find your way around. The course forms two loops (1-9 & 10-18) which is always a good design feature for those looking to play a quick nine.
Overall it's a mid-range dominant technical wooded layout, I did throw fairway driver on some holes, but this relies on shot shaping and hitting lines instead of bombing drives (which I don't mind at all). There are a few holes that break out of the woods, but you are mostly immersed in trees. Red and blue tee pads provide variety to different skill levels. The fairways are cleared out nicely and the rough isn't overly difficult to scoring potential is there. Plenty of benches throughout the course.
Being a wooded course the ground fall can be thick at times. Just be careful to avoid trip hazards and you'll be OK. While I enjoyed the layout overall, it did get a bit repetitive with many holes sharing similar distances and lines, however there is good variety overall and many holes have multiple fairway lines to the basket.
This is a really fun wooded course in a beautiful location, it's worth the visit, and I would not hesitate to play it again.
