Pros:
Harrisburg Park features a nine hole, beginner/pitch & putt course that has DISCatcher baskets, concrete tee pads, and nice tee signs. The tee signs all list hole number, distance, par, and the hole's sponsor. The course features a mixture of open and wooded holes. Some of the holes start in the open, and finish in the woods (and vise-versa). There is even an optional water carry if players choose to play from the long tee pad on Hole 9.
Experienced players aren't going to need anything more than a putter to score well here, but they will have a chance to run the ace on every single hole.
The course seemed well maintained and the last 4 holes were set in a scenic field with a small pond in the middle of it, creating an idyllic setting for the final few holes.
The park played host to plenty of other activities: mountain biking, picnic shelters, ball fields, playgrounds, a pool, a library, etc.
Cons:
The park is pretty massive and the course is tucked all the way into the back corner. Signs indicating how to navigate the park and find the course would have been nice. Being tucked away in the back corner also caused the course to have awkward flow. The first four holes play around one small field, the last four holes play around another small field, and Hole 5 connects the two areas. With a noticeable walk back to the start of the course.
The hole length, even for a beginner course, is pretty tiny. Hole one is less than 80' and plays downhill. At least some risk/reward went into the design of this hole as a missed ace run will sail even further down the hill.
The concrete tee pads were not built level. They often follow the slope of the ground they were built on. While not really an issue because every tee shot here can be thrown from a standstill, it was still noticeable.
Other Thoughts:
It has a little bit of everything and would be a great place for beginners to learn the game or for parents to teach their kids how to play. For most though, it is nothing more than a 9 hole, putter only, ace run challenge. Luckily, some of the holes have a bit of risk/reward. Hole 1, which is nothing more than a jump/step putt, if you miss the ace you are sailing down the hill.
Holes 6 through 9 were really stood out to me, for some reason I really enjoyed that stretch of golf.
UPDATE: After looking at other courses I've given similar ratings, I am slightly bumping the rating I gave Harrisburg Park up to a 1.5 rating. The fact that the course has concrete tees, finishes with memorable holes from 6 through 9, and the general upkeep of the course are large contributing factors to this decision. It is a strong beginner course, but not much more than that.
