Pros:
Cement Tee pads
Tee signs
New Patriot Baskets
course designed well for the park
Cons:
As what usually happens in a park, long holes are put in wide open areas and short holes are put in the more technical area.
The course is a short walk from the parking lot.
Other Thoughts:
In general, this is a reasonable course. There are a lot of tree's in this park and the course does make use of them as much as it can for an 18 hole medium size park.
It is a short walk from the parking lot over to hole 1. The first two holes are longer holes out and back into a rows of trees.
The course does have several longer holes that are not long enough to be par 4's, but are harder par 3 holes.
Hole #9 sign is currently in the wrong place. They have moved holes 9 and 10, the tee sign for 9 is about 50ft from the basket. The tee pad is behind the tee and down the hill. Still only about a 150ft shot.
Hole 10 is a sweet turnover shot down a hill behind the trees they planted that took out the original 9 and 10.
Hole 11 has a creek hidden on the right, you don't want to be in that mess.
Fun hole 15 throws down a hill with the creek far enough behind the hole to go for it.
Hole 18 is interesting to say the least. It is a hard dogleg left to right. There is no direct shot over the creek to the hole. A nice turnover roller or long skip shot might be best to play this hole well. the ditch your throw around is dry.
In general, this is a good course. A sign on hole one says it was an eagle scout project, that might have been to replace the baskets. They were all brand new.
There were quite a few people out playing, that is always good to see.
Would I play here again?
it is not a destination course, but it is a fun course to play a casual round. Several birdie attempts and some hard par 3 holes. I would enjoy playing this course again. But with that said, the 2 courses out at Lake McMurtry are much better and more challenging.
