(1.768 Rating) A typical parkstyle nine.
- PARK SETTING - I struggled to come up with a standard Pro comment on this one. Every key attribute I use to rank courses I found to be sub-par, minus the natural beauty of the park setting. The course traverses a mature park with some water features and subtle 10 to 15 foot grade changes. A few shots take advantage of these features such as on the tee for both (3) and (7). I thought a few shots had some modest luster to them, although there is nothing exotic here. The gameplay I thought was better than the average niner and there is room to expand to 18 holes if they ever decide to do so.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - The course is a bit too long for newer players, but it will be hard to get into trouble. Water is on two holes, but only terrible mistakes will make splashdowns. Searching for discs will rarely occur and new players will have opportunities to work on both accuracy and distance.

Way too many issues for this big of a park.
- DESIGN - The course starts off just fine with a simple open bomb shot and then has somewhat respectable gameplay through 6 holes. The ending unfortunately is terrible. Basket (7) can easily be black aced from tee (8). There was plenty of room in the park to avoid this. Tee shots from (8) can also hit players standing on tee (9), which is blind. Holes (8) and (9) cross as well. Again, this was completely avoidable as the park could easily have had 18 conflict free holes, yet failed to do so with just the nine.
- WALK BACK - To make matters worse at the end, players will be presented with a nearly half mile hike walk back as basket (9) is the furthest from the parking lot and tee (1). Supposedly there's a reverse flow nine, but I never saw any markings regarding it's existence.
- TEES - The tees are mostly natural with a few that borrow the adjacent paved walking path. A few of the natural tees have roots protruding and a few are also slightly unlevel. I've seen worse tees before, but the tees here are well below average from what I've seen across the country.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - No course map on site. Tee (1s) signage is missing and tee (2s) post was lying on the ground. The information on the tee sign is just a number. There are no navigational aids, but a majority of the tee posts can be seen from the prior basket.
- AMENITIES - No amenities or extras besides baskets and numbered posts.
- TIME PLAY - Due to the walk back and the longer than normal par 3s for a niner, the course doesn't go as quick as it would seem. It was over 40 minutes for me from bag out and bag back into the car.

The Warhawk Nest definitely counts as a course played, but it's not destine to find anyone's wishlist except for course baggers like myself. I liked parts of the course. The gameplay was satisfying at times, but several elements were well off key. It's cool that locals will be able to switch it up. Perhaps there's even a league that uses both of the local nines as the two courses are about 5 minutes apart. Anyways, a 1.75 tweener course to me. Considering the land, this should have been a strong 2.0 or even a 2.5 course with the same budget constraints. There are a lot of design misses. It reminded me of a bunch of northern rural parkstyle niners such as Markesan in central Wisconsin, SIU Campus Lake in Central Illinois, Donner Park in Central Indiana and Northwestern Michigan College near Traverse City.
