Okay, I have mixed feelings about this course. The front 9 is ultimately played on ski slopes on the side of a mountain, where the fairways are strictly the slopes; anywhere else is generally super thick rough. The back 9 is mostly more open feeling, with some really good disc golf holes. Off the fairways especially on the front 9 is danger. Elevation changes are all over the course: far downhill tee shots (I'm looking at you 6 and 10), tight fairways traveling high uphill. 10 par-4s and 8 par-3s. Love the back 9 overall, the front 9 I like but also hate due to the navigating strictly on ski sloped fairways. Extremely tough layout that pushes your limits as a player in terms of distance, angle control, and mentality. Overall, it was generally fun to play due to the large variety of shot shape requirements and do-what-you-want bomb holes.

1st time playing this course and I enjoyed it. It's a nice park with cool elevation changes and ever-changing winds, but a few holes need to be reconfigured. On my 2nd round of 9 I had to ask the folks at the volleyball court if I could throw over them (which resulted in a polite glove clap from the gallery upon parking it) & I was contemplating playing a third 9 holes, but a large caravan of several vehicles was BBQ-ing directly on the no.1 fairway... lol

This course is very open. Only 1 hole has a lot of trees to avoid. The 2 major downsides to this course are, 1) The course plays through a horse shoe course, a volleyball net, and the outfield of a baseball field. 2) The tees are relatively close to the baskets, making it take longer if there are a lot of players out. This is a lot longer than Harvey, but with how open it is, its more fun and less frustrating.

I stopped by this course while I was visiting my aunt who lives down the street from it. At the time, early fall of 2011, it had a few problems with design and course flow. If the course could use more space in the park and had a designer's touch, the scenery and harsh lake shore winds could make this an awesome place to play.
