Pros:
Weichsel Park DGC is a decent little 9-hole featuring some challenging holes. The course, which borders the junior high school, is fairly hilly, has water hazards in both a small creek which runs through the park and a small pond/large puddle of standing water, and plenty of trees and some snarky underbrush. The starts with two fairly challenging holes which on both of them a tunnel shot is needed to clear the creek on # 1 and the lake/pond/standing water on # 2. The course has some decent distance to contend with but I think the water and underbrush and trees and wind are the major challenges here.
The course has two sets of tees, the longs are concrete and the shorts are natural marked with pink ribbons. I tried some of both. The excellent tee signs are located by the concrete long pads. If you can remember to closely observe, the tee signs have an arrow pointing to the next tee. Helps with navigating.
If there is standing water in mid-May, what would the course look like in winter?

Previous reviewers mentioned that getting across the creek presents problems. Let me tell, getting across the creek as a senior citizen is a little daunting. As I carefully made my way across the creek on hole 1, A crossing that I know you younger guys would bound across looking like a deer escaping a wolf pack. Myself, I looked like a old cautious man trying not to slip off those slippery rocks and get all wet or injure myself. Gees, I am old!
Missing tee sign on 7.
Other Thoughts:
This is a solid little 9 hole course. There were plenty of players there after work on a perfect May evening. I don't adding any more holes here. Concrete short pads with some signs would be nice. A couple three bridges over the creek would be my first choice for improvements. Maybe wide ass bridges with guard rails? Would life guards be asking too much? Wheelchair and walker approved?
