Good creative use of a mixed space. Some holes may be unplayable depending what else is happening that day. I personally dislike the use of extremely tight mowed areas with tall grass OB on 11-16 (some of them are short enough it doesn’t matter) Especially on a windy day I think there is too much luck involved with these holes. Perhaps using hazard rules would be better. Overall a fun experience.

Holes 17 and 18 could use a little maintenance but other than that it's a fun short course

Fun little easy course. Thanks to the camp for letting the public play.

Beautiful course, could use a little maintenance, great variety and different distances

Overall, this is enjoyable course with mostly easier holes, but a few tough ones. It’s a little different since you’re going through a camp and occasionally you have to be careful not to hit buildings or cars. There’s really just one or two long holes where you can let loose with a driver. The field holes in the back nine are a good unique challenge. Tea pads are a little small, but the concrete is nice. The people and the camp dogs are very nice.

Back 9 OB is very tricky when windy and OB grass is tall and easy to loose a disc.

The back 9 is a destroyer for a beginner, but a very achievable challenge and very welcomed. Front 9 was nice and playable for any level it seemed.

For a short course just to stretch legs, or work mids or beginners it’s perfect.

The front 9 is easy but the back 9 will literally kill you. Would be nice if the tee pads were bigger.

@fredemac

Nice course. Good mix of long and then short technical shots.

@cerealman

A blend of cool park-style holes, some wide-open and flat holes, and a couple of puzzling designs. Good lengths for beginners, especially on front nine. Several holes play near cabins. For more details, visit www.dgcoursereview.com.

Pretty site, but the course itself is forced into a campground which makes for a ridiculous layout. Back 9 has multiple holes in a field with narrow fairways. Uncut grass is OB. Too difficult and the uncut grass may as well be water, because finding a disc in it is next to impossible.

@wackerda9

Hole 8, 10, 18 pretty bad. Open hole layouts are pretty good. I could this place being difficult in the warmer months if the grass is really high.

@jacobwacker

Not a great design. Have to dodge buildings and glass windows in the front 9

2025 update: The field holes have been mowed wider. Hole 14 also has been cleared at the corner which makes it much more fair. Great improvements! Definitely feels a lot less gimmicky. I still think the tall grass on hole 11 should be hazard, but at least you can progress a little now. Hole 10 is still absurd, and the trees/brush growing in on 5, 7, and 18 are making them pretty much unbirdiable. Overall, scoring is more balanced than before. 2023: This course is well maintained and clearly laid out, but it’s got some design flaws and challenges. The proximity to parked cars is particularly troublesome. It’s definitely a challenge; especially the field holes with narrow fairways and strict OB. Not recommended for absolute beginners. The front 9 are a lot easier and more approachable. Overall it’s a good course to challenge yourself with. Just don’t be surprised if you feel a little disappointed with yourself the first few rounds.

The front nine was easy and fast and the back nine added some challenge to make it a nice fun course.

Back 9 has long holes.

@darsense

Upkeep is ok on back 9. Front 9 plays through lots of cabins and parking lots with cars in.

Very easy first 9. 11-16 are challenging - somewhat gimmicky with multiple landing zones that are blind from the tee or second shot. Not bad overall.

Fun little course. Quite a few of the fairways need cut wood cleaned up and the lines cleared of bushes.
