Tee Pads, Tee signs, Multiple possible hole locations on some holes, requires a variety of shots on wooded and non-wooded style holes. Long and short tees really add variety to the holes with multiple tee pads. Might be able to use some more par 4 or 5 holes since most are only par 3. Also can flood pretty easily a couple times a year, but course dries up pretty quickly too.

I really like this course. It has some holes where you have to throw a bomb at least for the tournament layout of the panda open. Some wide open shots and some in the woods. A couple of holes have wat ... show more ›

I really like this course. It has some holes where you have to throw a bomb at least for the tournament layout of the panda open. Some wide open shots and some in the woods. A couple of holes have water danger. With the varied positions, the course never plays the same every month. The only thing that could be better for this course is to have 18 long and short tee pads.

Excellent local course! A few wooded holes, a few holes open holes with heavy woods on one side and road on the other, a few short holes, a few long holes, one or two really long holes, a few holes wi ... show more ›

Excellent local course! A few wooded holes, a few holes open holes with heavy woods on one side and road on the other, a few short holes, a few long holes, one or two really long holes, a few holes with mature trees and minimal vegetation, some of these force tight lines and some allow some flexibility. aka an excellent well rounded course. This course is extremely new, so a few of the holes have to be beaten into shape and you could loose a disc. The tees are either dirt or secure rubber pads, and I believe concrete pads are in the works within a year or so. The signs are just handwritten distances with the alternate pin distances, but I bet those are in the works as well. I went with some friends who have been there a few times already, so we knew where to go; but if I was by myself I would have gotten very confused. The course plays through a fairly busy parkway/park with lots of runners and bikers (never really in the way). You cross different holes between holes about 4 times. In summary, very well rounded course that is currently lacking a few amenities, but in due time may be taking Dretzka's or Brown Deer's reign of best course in the area.

I can see the courses potential and I'm excited to see it evolve over the next couple of years. We played on Sunday and there was a good crowd out tossing discs around. As long as people pick up their trash, I can see the city keeping this one going. We hauled out a bunch of bottles that were found laying on the course.

As far as the way it plays, it's very right-hand friendly, due to the fact that it runs along the road. The first few holes are short and currently pretty wet, but they play nicely. We'll be back to play this one, for sure, and once the permanent pads are in it will be a lot nicer for players.

It went from a rumor to a text saying its open come help beat it in to shape so day one everyone from the area came and did yust that, me included and it played like a brand new course and will till we where it down a little and the course has a killer pro golfer to make the needed adjustments as they reveal them selves over play time . The design will change a little and once it settles into what will be the concrete pads will get installed ( just like estabrook did after a year) provided people don't screw up the parks department relationship with litter ,vandalism and other bullsh!t behavior . It's a good course and we were overdue for a new one it's getting busy out there also one more thing[DO NOT THROW FROM THE ROAD GET BACK ON THE GRASS WHERE YOUR DISC WENT OUT OF BOUNDS

nice selection of shots, some short holes, some long, a few technical shots, a fun course to play The cons have to be the dirt tee boxes and that the course is not groomed well it is very easy to lose discs. It is new though and with some minor improvements and the addition of some trash cans and benches could make this course my favorite in the area next to Dretzka and Brown Deer
