My regular course, played here easily 50+ times.

Pros: nice variety of shots, good for beginners with some holes still challenging for seasoned players. Long bombs, some shorter holes, a water hazard (shallow creek, easily retrievable discs), appropriate use of trees.

Cons: tough to navigate. Starts on one side of river, hole 2 is on the other side of the river (no maps or arrows), next tee usually not within eyeshot of basket. Also the basket for hole 3 is now gone, removed for terraforming to stop soil erosion and never replaced. Disappointing since they have a practice basket at the start of the course. Can get very wet and marsh like around holes 1, 8, and 9.

Pros: Course is great for beginner and experienced player alike. Has some very nice golf shots, great park, and mature trees. Fine course to learn how to play without being completely discouraged. ... show more ›

Pros: Course is great for beginner and experienced player alike. Has some very nice golf shots, great park, and mature trees. Fine course to learn how to play without being completely discouraged. Liked the possibilities of longer holes and making up holes as playing through. Nice baskets.

Cons: No signs = confusion. We didn't realize that there were only 8 baskets, plus a practice basket. I'd move the practices basket and make 9 individual holes. We wandered aimlessly trying to figure out which hole was 2, where hole 3 was, where 6-8 were....We pretty much just make up our own layout.

No tee pads = potential for injury. There were a few holes where the tee had tree roots through. When you are more worried about your footing, your shot suffers.

Seems like Holes 7/8 play to the same basket. Both are nice shots (well the ones we made up), just could be hazardous.

Overall: This course/park has a tremendous amount of potential and is very close to Reading. There were a lot of people on the course while we played and nothing seemed to back up. This course would greatly benefit from tee pads (recommend concrete) and signage (a must for first time visitors). The course has a great mix of straight, hyzer and anhyzer shots. Well placed mandatory, great use of mature trees and pin placement close to water. My brother and I had a blast and will definitely return. We stretched a bunch of holes out to over 400 feet just so we could air out a few throws. I think the park/course would benefit from adding at least 9 holes in the woods across from the parking lot. Think this place just needs some TLC and for Alvernia Univ. to mow the grass more often.

Pros: If you're looking for a quick but challenging nine hole game, then Angelica Park is what you're looking for. The course has many interesting shots. Stream comes into play on some of the holes. Very nice park.

Cons: I would love to see tee pads. The course is fairly easy to navigate, but hole info signs, and arrows under baskets would be a nice touch. Lastly, I wish there were more holes.
