"H15: Welcome to the only piece of park property beyond the soccer fields ideal for a hole. It's a shame that you have to make terrible filler holes to get to it. Blue tee is an awkwardly angled dogleg left without a well defined fairway through a patch of nice woods. White tee is, care to guess? STRAIGHT! But much better. Then it gets open for a bit and then you have parking lot on the left, pasture on the right and some short, ornamental trees between you and the basket. Risk OB or throw rollers under the low ceiling of these short, pesky trees. I would love to see holes 14 and 15 combined into one good hole. Move 15's basket shorter and just inside the start of the tiny trees and put the tees where drives are much less likely to go into the soccer field, good drives landing smartly inside some natural tunnels through the woods. It would play open>wooded>open and might even be a strategic par 4. Probably won't happen b/c Mike Avillion ably demonstrated his inability to hit a gap through unaltered woods at dusk during a walk-through."
"#15- the long tee here is at a odd angle which doesnt really spice it up but I guess it nice. I feel like where these tees are the basket for 14 should be and bump these tees to the edge of the trees because there really isnt a great line to the basket. With Parking lot OB on the left and the fence on the right. I feel like this would play better with playing from the edge of the woods."
