So I went out and found the Beacon Hills Park. You can find the location here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.453229,-111.801259&hl=en&sll=40.45311,-111.801018&sspn=0.002422,0.002411&t=h&z=17 It looks like this location had some great potential for an 18 hole course however there are a few things you should know before you go. No official tee pads or baskets yet. Itu2019s laid out with some signage and surveying stakes for each tee pad and pin location, but no baskets yet (except a portable on #18). Also holes 16-18 need some work as they play through some tight scrub oak that would need some clearing to provide flight paths (my opinion). I talked with the developer and for some short term improvements he is looking to have trash removed and trails improved. He said it would be a while before we see baskets there because he needs some donations. He really wants players to comment on hole layout before pads get installed.

For Beacon Hills I can't say for sure on the whole course. I only looked at the first couple holes which were wide open other than some houses to the far right. As for some of the back end holes, they currently are lined out in some thick scrub oak that in my opinion would need to be cleared out a bit. Overall the terrain here has what appears to be some really fun elevation changes and several holes play on or near grass. Not sure what future development of the park may hold. This course looks to have a good combination of some long bomber holes as well as some short technical ones. Of course its all subject to change based on player feedback for final layout.
