Pros:
- Course that's less than a year old. Always nice to see new courses, no matter the difficulty.
- GREAT addition to an already busy city park. Park has a long walking path, gardens, benches, playground equipment, half court basketball, a large splash pad (heavily used), a shelter, and bathrooms.
- Course is pretty well set aside from other park happenings, aside from the walking path.
- Nice concrete tee pads, and good baskets.
- There is some varying distance here, between 180 - 365 feet.
Cons:
- The course is wide open, with no obstacles. A few trees here or there on holes, but nothing to make this course worthwhile. There are trees and options here where they could have made this into a more formidable layout, but they obviously chose not too.
- No signage to speak of, and the tee pads aren't labeled. Finding the first tee required me walking out the #1 basket to ensure it was the correct one. FYI, #1 pad is directly behind the octagonal shelter house.
- Very windy the day I went, which is probably abnormal. However, the south and west confines of the park are nothing but miles of farm fields, so there's really nothing to stop the wind if it's out there.
Other Thoughts:
- Great to see this as an addition to a nice city park. It's just unfortunate that time and money was spent on nice baskets and concrete pads, but the course layout wasn't made the least bit challenging or interesting.
