Pros:
My review pretty much echoes the previous few reviews as I had much of the same thoughts:
Nice city park course featuring 18 holes, each with a yellow (shorter) and orange (longer) permanent basket. Plays over mowed grassy fairways dotted with mature trees. A shallow creek with tallish walls is a factor on the first few holes- no real danger of losing discs, just an area of o.b. should you choose to play it as such.
Has all the essentials (concrete tees, color tee signs, Discatchers) and they are all very nice.
Has appeal to a wide range of players from beginner to intermediate, and to me is very appropriate for this park in this area. Relatively open and little chance to lose a disc. (Advanced/Pro would find this somewhat easy even to the long baskets, however.)
Ample parking.
Cons:
The first few holes started out great, and I thought to myself "if this is just a warmup for the rest of round then we have a 3.5-4.0, but by the time you cross the road, the last half to 2/3 of the holes just does not feel the same- a bit more cramped and repetitive. The first 9 features some length, the back is noticeably shorter, rather than a balanced alternating mix. Looking at the course map it seems there was more area that was not utilized better- maybe could have split 9/9 on each side of the road vs 7/11. But
Not a huge fan of "gimmicky" baskets, but I can play them within reasonable moderation, but this course has 4 ( all were orange). One was super low, one was built up on a pyramid tower of railroad ties (which got me thinking how high is too high for a basket- there is a limit right?), another was suspended on a cable (so high I chose not to putt because I am just over 5' and didn't think I could get my disc back), and one more elevated basket between some trees. My opinion, but I can justify maybe 1 per 9 holes max, but these type are usually signs of a lack of challenge on the hole in generally.
Navigating 7-9 from the longs. Not a logical set-up: requires a long walk between 7 orange and 8 tee, or a temptation to skip hole 8. Clearly the 2nd basket was put in later. Note- tee sign 7 also showed a 3rd blue C basket, it was not there, and was the only sign that showed this.
Some other navigational questions crossing the creek seemingly more times than you might think around 5-7. Again, mainly the orange baskets- which make the holes better, but the navigation worse.
Confusing at first in that the first two holes have 2 tees and 2 baskets, which makes you think it is this way the whole course, but it is not. Only 1 other hole that I found had 2 tees.
Some holes are close to other things, one hole in particular practically plays over a playground. Park roads in play on many holes.
Short 13 is a bit weird, about 130' but makes a 180 turn the left due to a mando around all the trees. I guess designed to be played as a sharp cutting roller, but again appears to be sort of a stretch due to space restraints.
Other Thoughts:
The first few holes started out great, but by the time you cross the road to the last half the course, the feel is just not the same- a bit more cramped and repetitive. That being said, there are still 18 holes of decent challenge, with 2 baskets per hole. Seems maybe like a work still in progress as the signs often did not reflect the 2nd basket.
I enjoyed playing here. I played a round to each basket set. I would play here again if in the area or visiting Pickwick Lake. Does not have tight technical woods or elevation, but sometimes it is nice just to relax and have a little fun being able to throw some long shots without being punished followed by some ace run-birdie opportunities.
I have this on the lower side of 3.0 (maybe around 2.85 with the 36 baskets giving it the bump up).
