I live close, so this is my home course. 18 baskets and 2 sets of concrete pads. Highly recommend playing the short pads your first time, but try to find both. This will save you some lost discs, and prep you for the challenge of the longer pads. From some of the long pads, it is really hard to determine the location of the pin. Also make sure to wait at least 14 days after a significant rain, as the entire course can be under water... And stays muddy afterwards. Suggest avoiding the last 2 holes during mosquito season. I enjoy the course, but it has some pretty tough shots. The creek is very much in play on 10 holes... You need disc retrieval devices. Crossing the creek on 4-6 of those, depending on your line. Although the creek is fairly small, there are deep pools that can consume discs. The course is fairly well marked, but is a bit tough to navigate the first time because it uses every inch of this large park. Hole 8 is a bit ridiculous.... Short with thick trees, and not much of a line. Hole 17 is a blind shot over a hump.... Very tight to a deep pool in the creek. Hole 18 long pad makes for a "close your eyes and pray" shot, as the creek has eroded the original line. Plenty of risk/reward here, tons of water, and plenty of trees. Overall, I rate it as a "b", mostly because of those three holes detailed above, and the challenge of first time navigation.
