It didn't end up being what I expected at all and that's a good thing. It gives the impression of a "park course" and feels that way at times, but it's so much more and holds some really well designed holes. It's not quite perfect though as it does have a handful of similar holes. That said, the first 5 or 6 holes of this course set an incredible tone. It's "park golf" but with real challenge to the shots, including an amazing downhill 2nd. The back nine of the course is more elevated and plays in the woods. These holes often require some precision shooting to put up good scores but do suffer occasionally from too many trees blocking clear lanes. There are three sets of concrete tees. They have rudimentary tee signs on White and some navigational signage that does help, but they could absolutely use a sign upgrade, which it sounded like is upcoming. The baskets are a bit old school. They do have some benches and garbage cans along the way and there's a running water bathroom at the start and turn. I felt that the course could use a few steps in just a few places for safety. On a slick day some of the steepest paths are a workout. The park itself is just gorgeous. As a Pittsburgher, this is different terrain and vegetation than home. The course plays up and down elevation so expect to put in some hiking. There is this amazing old park all around you, then you go into mossy stones and fern forest that has a beautiful look to it. This is probably the best courses I've played in this area for sure.

Ignore the "hidden jem" haters, this is a lovely and legit course. I played it passing through the area (not a homer) and I haven't seen anything regionally that is better this side of Deer Lakes and maybe IUP College. Nice pads, with new longs and shorts going in this very moment. The woods holes are fair but challenging, with clear fairways. The park holes have enough elevation, big trees, and varied lines to be fun but require control. Many holes offer options for RHBH and LHBH throws, which I appreciate as a lefty. Holes are pared scorable, but not too soft so that it feels like you earned what you got. NOTE: it is NOT cart friendly and tough for those with mobility issues. Otherwise, if you're in the area prioritize this course!
