Reviewed: Played on:Apr 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Tee Signs (see Cons)
2) New Mach II baskets
3) Good use of natural elevation, water and trees to add complexity and a small amount of skill to what could have been a very lazy course.
4) Easy to find, easy to navigate, very easy flow.
5) Baskets are positioned far enough from the playground that it avoids any major trouble.
6) Plays incredibly fast. I played 1 round alone in just under 9 minutes. Great for lunch breaks/commuting/warmup.

Cons:

1) Tee signs are wildly inaccurate (1008 ft actually 215 ft).
2) Only 6 baskets.
3) Noise from highway can be distracting.
4) Dirt/grass tees.
5) Could get a little dangerous if busy.

Other Thoughts:

First things first: This is not a destination course by any means. I do feel that this will be very good for the community so i did not deduct any points for only having 6 baskets.
I have to wonder if this course will be expanded (maybe a few more holes in the woods to the east or north?)
I really question the use of inaccurate tee signs. In my opinion, if you list distance on the sign, the hole better be within a couple feet of that listing, not off by 600+ feet.
All in all, a fun course to spend 10 minutes on.
