Surprisingly strong, well-rounded course with a good mix of tight wooded holes and longer, more open fairways, generally tight but fair lines throughout. • Best stretch is holes #4–9, a varied and engaging run that mixes elevation, wooded shots, doglegs, and ace runs, easily the highlight of the course. • Front 9 is clearly stronger and more polished, while the back 9 still feels unfinished in spots, with some walking-trail fairways and leftover elements from older layouts. • Three tee options provide variety, short and mid tees play well and feel intentional, long tees feel forced and detract from the course. • Major weaknesses are signage and navigation, confusing transitions, overlapping walking paths, and lack of on-course amenities. • Overall: a solid, underrated course with real variety and fun shot shaping, especially from the short and mid tees. Worth playing and closer to a 3.5-level experience than its reputation suggests.

This course could be excellent with some upkeep, tee pads, and usage on the white and blue tees to break in the course. The signage is excellent, though a direction sign or two wouldn't hurt through the woods. Holes 1-13 are wooded, sometimes heavily. Holes 14-18 are much more open. The course has three tees - red, white, and blue. Reds are average length, whites are long, and blues are crazy long. The white and blue tees are seldom used by golfers, thus they are not broken in - lots of vegetation/growth around them. Beginners learning to throw would benefit from playing 14-18 repeatedly. Advanced players only from the blues on 1-13!

3 sets of tees (Red, white, blue) I played the red tees. Fun with tight & open fairways. Mostly small, tight greens. Fairways were cut by Park staff but some weedeating needed on tighter fairways. 3 ... show more ›

3 sets of tees (Red, white, blue) I played the red tees. Fun with tight & open fairways. Mostly small, tight greens. Fairways were cut by Park staff but some weedeating needed on tighter fairways.
3 sets of nice tee signs with color top to ID natural tees. White & blue tees on every hole make those very challenging & very long. Blues 8000 ft!
Needs a course pro to take course ownership & work with Parks Dept.
Overall very nice small town park.
