The hardest part was finding a place to park! You literally have to walk in!! The 1970's called they want their hairstyle and park back(Mullet)

Pros: -A park-style course in a far flung area of Goshen's Shanklin Park. A gravel path runs along a pavilion into the woods, following the river. This is the path you must walk for approximately half a mile to reach the bridge, which spans the river and leads to the course proper, a sort of sub-park called Mullet Park.
- Nine short but reasonable holes, which play through a flat grassy area dotted with trees. The far edge of the property uses a wilder area, parts of which serve for some tasty wooded holes (primarily #'s 4 & 8). A couple of holes do stretch the arm a bit, with #4's 420' being the longest of the bunch.
- Good new amenities. Baskets, concrete pads (albeit a touch on the short side), signage, etc. make this course a snap to play.
- The low grassy areas were saturated with a lot of water when I played. It did not occur in areas affecting play. Whether or not that is always the case, I can't say for certain, but my guess is this course floods in parts at times. It does seem as though the designers did their best to avoid the areas most prone to flooding, so maybe not.
Cons: - A few of the holes are on top of each other.
- No parking anywhere near the course. A bit of a hike in, and a bit of an adventure to find.
- Hole #9 dumps you unceremoniously at about the most distant possible point.
Other Thoughts: - This was a fun enough beginner/rec level course with a few nice tight windows to hit (e.g., # 8's double mando, #4's single mando raised basket).
- I wouldn't go out of my way to hit this course if looking for a quick round, unless you're willing to walk a bit to get there first.
- This is in a random enough corner of the park (or sub-park, if you will) to not get much in the way of non-disc traffic. The pathway in skirts the area but doesn't seem to see much foot traffic even on a gorgeous weekend afternoon.
