Lums Pond State Park

Lums is an average to slightly better than average course. More woods than the other local courses exept of course for Iron Hill. (The trees to brandywine's breeze) The course has tight but fair fairways most of the time, with a few open shots mixed in as well. There are a few holes that seem dumb to me though.

Hole distances are on the short side, most are in the 200's. Heavily wooded. In ...

In need of some good maintenance, Tee boxes on some holes are just a bunch of concrete squares put together and it leaves grooves which can be a tripping hazard. Hole maps are hard to see and/or understand.
