A great new course in an area with no other courses within a half hour. Fallbrook Park is a beautiful piece of property with a scenic stream and rolling wooded countiside. The former ski area made a wonderful palette for local course designer Mark Humphrey to pursue his dream of a course in Oswego County. Humphrey's labor of love is becoming a gem. This 18 hole course requires a wide variety of shots to navigate the somewhat technical terrain. Great combination of uphill, downhill, forehand, and backhand shots. Fairways are now well defined and well maintained. Signage is good and paths from baskets to next tees are becoming more well defined and obvious. The green tees will be challenging for an experienced player. The orange layout is great for beginners and still challenging for intermediate players. The open fairway shots are to creatively guarded greens and the mature tree loaded wooded areas feel remote and serene. The natural tee boxes are still a work in progress but are serviceable this being the first year for the course. Bit by bit leveling will be all they need to make this a complete package. There is plenty of parking and the short walk across the meadow and bridge to tee #1 is very pleasant. The first hole along the babbling stream is a perfect starter hole, and the big downhill bomber hole 18 with the stream and the big red barn in view is iconic. Get to Fallbrook for a round and let Humphrey know what you think. You'll be delighted by this sweet new course in Oswego, NY.
