Pros:
18 holes
Well done natural tees
Numerous next tee signs, although a couple more would be beneficial
Elevated baskets on a couple holes
There are some really fun holes
Fun woods golf
Makes a complete loop back to the same spot
Good mix of open and wooded holes
Some holes play from the open to the woods, while a few others play woods to open
Cons:
The first issue is SAFETY. Several holes play along a walking path, including a tee shot that you want to finish left with that sets up blind for a shot fading left.
The rough is somewhat unforgiving; some woods holes have recovery lanes if you hit an early tree, while others you're pretty much just pitching back to the open
Layout can be confusing at times
No benches or tee signs; just a post with hole number and distance, which is better than nothing.
Natural tees, for those who don't like them
Some baskets have loose chains
A few too many elevated baskets
Favors right handers a bit too much
Other Thoughts:
McWilliams park is a fun course to play. You mostly play around the edges of athletic fields in both the open and the woods. While it might not be the prettiest or most challenging course ever, it does the best it can with what it has. You can tell that there are some folks who really care about the course, as the natural tees are framed and there are some next tee signs, as well as most holes having a post with the hole number, footage, and occasionally par. Most of the baskets are painted different colors, and a few have some loose chains, although they still catch well. Several holes, especially the first 6, and holes 13-16. Some others are also fun. A couple of the holes play along a walking path, but the only really bad hole is hole 7. It's a U turn par 4/5 according to the tee post, and your tee shot has to travel straight and then fade hard left, right along a walking path which you can't see any of the left portion of it from the tee. It's a fun hole, but I don't really care for the safety issue. The wooded holes are a mixed bag; the gaps are tight but fair, and you can recover from the rough on some holes. However, on others, there isn't really a chance to get up the fairway and you just have to pitch out. My favorite hole was probably hole 15; this is a 345' par 3 with a couple different routes to the basket, which is set beside tennis courts. I threw a flex shot and was circles edge for a putt, which I missed. Overall, McWilliams park is a fun course, and, with a set of tee signs, would be a good course. Really, the tee posts are fine, I'd just like to see the addition of hole maps and par on all of them like on the post for hole 7. I will eventually be back here to play again!
