Pros:
- Driving range on site, with distances marked. Some sort of enclosure encroaches on the right side of it now, but I don't know what it's for.
- Concrete tee pads, decent sized. Two per hole, except 16, which has one natural tee area marked. Locals often play a long tee for 16 from the corner of the property close to houses that border the park, but it is not marked. A middle tee has been added on 1, but there is no pad there.
- Playground on site.
- Trash cans throughout.
- Distance variation is good and is helped by six holes where the long tee is more than 100 feet longer than the short tee.
- Best holes are 3, 5, 10 and 16. Three (296/351) is mostly open, but you've got the ditch to clear about 100 feet short of the basket; you've also got some trees on both sides of the fairway after the ditch, and a backstop of a bank behind the basket. Five (214/255) has the creek left and a low-hanging limb about 50 feet in front of the tee. Ten (375/457) plays up a 30-foot wide alley with thick brush on both sides. The basket sits on the right edge of the bushes, with a tree and a few bushes that stick out and block some of the path on the right. Sixteen (220) plays as a triangle island. Surrounded by gravel and paths, you throw through a moderately wooded fairway with about 190 feet needed to reach the island. Seventeen long (403) is also good. A RHBH shot clears the water quickly, but it also fades toward the water, adding some danger.
Cons:
- Course flow is mostly good, but crossing the small ditch (not the creek itself) causes some issues. On both 1 and 2, you are likely walking up the fairway toward the tee you just threw from to use a bridge. There used to be a bridge 2-3, but it no longer exists.
- Tee signs are non-existent. Tees are marked by yellow metal poles. At one time, distance was listed there, but the stick-on numbers are almost completely gone now.
- No seating at tee pads.
- Holds water for a long time after a rain, especially holes 12-15.
- No elevation. I don't think any holes has as much as a 10-foot change in elevation.
- Water is underutilized. The small ditch comes into play on the first three holes (262-296 feet from the short tees), but it takes a really bad throw or a bad kick off a tree to get wet. Five (214/255) brings the bigger creek into play left because of a low hanging limb. After that, a 20-25 foot wide creek runs through the middle of a chunk of the course, but there is basically no water carry (17 from the long tees is a short carry) and no baskets placed near the water. Only a really bad shot is going to find that water.
- Gravel makes up most of the fairways for holes 8-11, so discs can get chewed up.
- No map on site.
- Seven (498/651) is a long, open, boring hole. The creek is left, but it's easy to avoid.
Other Thoughts:
- Nice restroom on site, but it's part of a pavilion that can be reserved, so you might find yourself walking through someone's party to get to it.
- Some people will call this a pitch-and-putt, but the long tees give you the option of four holes longer than 400 feet.
