Pros:
I had the opportunity to run this course with my brother a few weeks ago. I was feeling pretty optimistic when I pulled into a large, well kept park. Unfortunately, it didn't quite keep up with my expectations.
-The course really does have some nice holes. 18 was actually a great finishing hole, a 580' par 4 with pines throughout the fairway. Just enough to force you to hit a line, but also offering a real chance to air it out.
-Hole 1 was also a nice starting hole. A 337 slightly downhill shot that seemed to promise of great things to come.
-Hole 3 was another strong park style hole, with a few trees and a nice fairway.
-Hole 12 was a decent downhill shot with a large tree and a windmill in the fairway, a nice tie in given the fact that the windmill museum is next door.
-Plenty of parking
-Some wooded holes had some nice lines with shot shaping.
-Baskets were solid
Cons:
The course just falls apart in the middle sections, here's a few issues:
-At some point you start to realize you've played lots of holes in the woods that are <250', I believe there were 9 holes that fit this description.
-A couple of holes (maybe 7 and 8) were completely unplayable due to water. Several other holes had swampy spots or were near complete marshlands.
-A few of the walking paths between holes were flooded over
-A few fairways were completely overgrown. Putting out inside the circle on 11 I found myself in waste high grass.
-The first few fairways were covered in groundhog holes, don't twist an ankle
-The long teepads are rubber pads, not great, but passable. The short "teepads" were a single paver in the fairway
Other Thoughts:
This property actually has tons of potentials. The overall park seems well kept and popular, but they basically stuck the course on all the unusable space. I think you could have a decent 9 hole round by play 1-4 then 14-18, but a lot of the property the course is on doesn't seem redeemable. Still, it's better than the other courses in town so if you find yourself here you could do worse.
