Pros:
2 sets of tees for most holes. nice baskets. restroom between 17 and 18. beautiful scenery. great use of elevation. variety of left and right turning holes. benches on most holes. concrete tee pads. signs on every hole showing the basket location. navigation fairly easy
Cons:
I can see where water could be an issue after rains but course was dry when I played it. couple of holes where a road is in play and park users possibly as well. $4 per car to get into the park.
Other Thoughts:
This course went immediately into my favorites. Mostly short and technical. heavily wooded with a few more open holes. windows are often small but they are there and even if you miss the shortness of most of the holes allows you a chance to recover. lots of up and down with some beautiful scenic holes. I play DG to have fun and the fun factor is high here. I played the short tees and the long tees give a bit more challenge for those who want it. I would play this course anytime I could. I know that course #2 is higher rated but for me course #1 is far superior. If you want an extreme challenge play #2 but if you just wanna have fun course #1 is the ticket. beautiful state park with nice hiking and cabins for over night stay
