Good mix of open-bombers and technicality 2+ years drive by

Played on:Jul 22, 2021
Played the course:once
Pros:
+ Well upkept fairways.
+ The tall grass 'rough' in the field holes isn't actually that tall. A plus in itself - a good search should find most errant throws.
+ Concrete tee pads.
+ Some technical shots required.
+ Good navigation (for the most part).
+ Friendly locals.
+ Unlikely to lose a disc here except possibly in the case of Holes 14, 15, 17, and 18.
+ Course is essentially two 9-hole loops that end near the parking lot.
+ Baskets (Innova Discatchers) are in great condition.

Cons:
- Hole 1 plays next to the parking lot. Try not to park near the basket location.
- Walks between Holes 3 and 4, as well as 13 and 14 are on the longer side.
- Hole 4's tee sign is misleading. While it tells you it's a straight shot through the baseball fields, the entire hole was moved and is now a technical straight shot to the right of the bike path. An updated tee sign would help in this regard.
- Some of the holes play along the bike path, which can get used frequently. Watch for bikers and other people before teeing off.
- Hole 8 tees off (essentially) in the middle of a road where cars may pull in to park (there is another parking lot next to it). While it wasn't busy when I went, on busier days I could see there being issues between disc golfers and cars trying to pull through there into the parking lot.
- Navigation to Holes 12-14 from the previous basket can be tricky without a map.
- Near Hole 18's tee pad is an errant young sapling/tree stump. Watch your footing so as not to accidentally trip on it, as I almost did.

Other Thoughts:
Amenities:
- Parking: Plenty.
- Restrooms: There is one on the walk from Hole 3 to 4. Unsure if it's usually open though - on both sides there's a code lock on the door (both just happened to be hanging open though), and it's in a building for the baseball stadiums.
- Running water: There is a drinking fountain at the restroom. Unsure if it runs.
- Benches: At least one in the park in general, but none on the course itself.
- Trash cans: None that I saw.
- Bag holders: None.
- Tee signs: Newer tee signs showing a map of the hole, par, distance, and directions to the next tee.
- Next tee/direction signs: None - only on the tee signs. Have a map ready.
- Wheelchair/cart friendly: Mostly - not sure about the more technical holes.

Pros:
Good mix of tight and open holes. Most shots are friendly to both forearmers and backhanders. Great tee signs and easy to navigate for the most part if you have a map. I played this course for the first time during a lunch break and with some jogging in between played all 18 in 35 minutes.
Cons:
Hole 4 has been moved from the location on the map. This was probably REALLY smart because there is no lane at all to play it on in what was likely it's old position between the baseball fields.
NOW- hole 4 plays in front of hole 5. When you finish hole 3, walk west towards the cement walking path. The tee pad for hole 4 is on the far side of the walking path.
Also, the path to hole 13 needs to be marked better. Without a map I would not have found it.
