Directions:
On Rte. 176, 0.25 mile west of Rte. 14 and 3.1 miles east of Rte. 47.
fun and challenging course. nice variety of shots. wooded and open field. no water hazards but pedestrian hazards are present. rubber tee boxes no good when wet.
not much elevation. alot of in and out of the woods. it will challenge all players. stupid walking path goes right through the fairway on 5 holes.
This course is literally my backyard and by far favorite place to play. A lot of fun to play here with plenty of wooded wholes and some wide open ones. Does tend to get crowded around 3-5 PM during warm seasons and parking sucks when all the soccer and baseball games are playing, but moves quickly depending on who is in front of you and their skill level.
Many of the holes are poorly kept, many are very flat, and most of them have too high of pars. Overall a very dull course.
Good course.
PROS: 18 holes, pretty easy layout to follow, has some hazards (dense woods, dense tall grasses), fairly well maintained, a good mix of short and long holes, free.
CONS: mosquitoes can be VERY heavy, tee boxes should be poured concrete but they are dirt or rubber, can get a lot of traffic, no elevation changes.
