Pros:
• A number of interesting and varied shots
• Very good tee boxes (rubber mat type), although when these mats get wet you can slip quite easily.
• Good signage in places although inconsistent in spots, likely due to the park being new.
• Nice new baskets (I think they were Mach Xs but don't quote me as it's been a while since I was there)
Cons:
• No nearby restroom or water
• Very challenging to navigate in spots
• Not beginner friendly
• Wind can come out of nowhere and blow quite hard (minor con really as wind is a part of the game)
• Pay to park ($6. Minor quibble. No quibble at all if the money goes to the course.)
Other Thoughts:
Tips:
• Do use the map.
• A spotter is a must on several holes. Two spotters would not be a bad idea on a few.
Random Thoughts:
This is a tough course to rate. The front nine holes present an interesting challenge with a good mix of short and long (some very long) and a nice variety of shot types. We even witnessed an ace on #5. Yes, there are a couple holes where the exact basket you're aiming at is tough to figure out because it's not immediately visible and/or near another hole's basket (#4 in particular), but with a little walk ahead and a close look at the basket number you'll be ok. So things are cruising along all well and fun and then you get to #10 and the basket is BURIED in a set of tree/brush/crap but it's all good because it's the C position and it's supposed to be tough, right? #11 and #12 are fairly open and uneventful outside of a fairly close OB on #12. Then you get to #13 which is a tunnel shot, which is ok. I like tunnel shots but DO NOT go off tunnel because the 'rough' is nasty and quite dense with disc grabby trees. #14 is a flat miss. First, there's a sign that reads something like 'the basket is now in the D position'. Is there a map as to where D is? Of course not. But that's not the best part, because by the time you find D, which is a 90 degree left turn a ½ mile walk into the forest, you look back at how you're supposed to shoot the shot and it's quite ridiculous. You're basically blind firing into a grove of trees. I don't get it. #15 is ok. At least you can find the basket but #16-18 (at least in the basket positions we played) put you right back into the tree fun. I'm just not seeing the flight paths on these shots (outside of maybe #18) besides maybe a pin point tomahawk. My playing companion actually quit around this time because it just stopped being fun.
Bottom Line:
I'm not sure what to say about this course. We had a blast.......and then we didn't. Maybe it would have been different with the baskets in different positions but I'm not 100% convinced a couple holes don't need a rethink but if you're in the neighborhood and you've got at least an average game, give it a whirl and see how it goes.
