Pros:

New addition to the city of Newton! Good signs, concrete teepads, and nice brand new Innova baskets. Lots of trees make for tough lines. Uses elevation well on several holes, and a couple of blind approaches will really test your ability to judge distance.

Cons:

Doesn't use the available space very well. The 776 ft hole 9 unnecessarily takes up a huge chunk of the park. Parking is very limited, and there is no place to park to get good access to the first hole, so most everyone starts at 12. Some of the teepads are dug into hillsides and mud runs all over them cutting into your run-up. They unsuccessfully attempted to grow some grass around some of these teepads last summer. Maybe success will come this year!

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad course, but not a good one either. Hopefully over time some of the issues can be resolved. For all my whining about it, there really are some cool holes here (1,2,5,8,12), I just think that the space has a lot more potential than is being utilized at the moment.
