Jake Simpson Wilderness Park

Brand new open and wooded flat multi use park course. Definitely a “work in progress” short 12 hole course that is currently extremely wet and muddy with puddles and downed trees in the woods. Bring waterproof boots in the spring, the course should be nicer in the summer. The wooded holes have tight challenging lines. Most of the open holes have a few trees and the baskets are well placed.

Brand new open and wooded flat multi use park course. Definitely a “work in progress” short 12 hole course that is currently extremely wet and muddy with puddles and downed trees in the woods. Bring waterproof boots in the spring, the course should be nicer in the summer. The wooded holes have tight challenging lines. Most of the open holes have a few trees and the baskets are well placed. So far the course has tee posts with hole numbers and distances but no maps or directional signs, making for difficult navigation. Lacking UDisc maps…ugh. No pads yet. It appears some of the posts should be repositioned to face the new quality baskets. No water hazards besides the casual puddles. Hole 1 is at the entrance on the left side of the gravel parking lot. Didn’t notice restrooms, trash cans or benches/tables. Has the potential to become a quality B+ course in time. B-/B in current condition. Also, a short drive to the 9 hole Holland Woods course. Worth the trip to play both courses.

Fun 12 hole course. A short thrower like me can reach all but one of the holes, which is nice. The basket for hole 3 has obviously been moved. Tee sign and Udisc say 204', but it is closer to 280-300'. A few of the wooded holes (4, 5, 9) are tight where luck is too much of a factor. Holes 7 and 8 play next to, and maybe over, a large swingset. This is asking for trouble. Tee pads are nice but a bit short. Tee signs are adequate. Several holes have long tees which look challenging t ...

Several holes have long tees which look challenging too. This is a fun, well kept course they seem to be doing work on to alleviate wet areas in the woods.
