These elements provide a satisfying challenge to those looking for more than just a casual round. However, the challenges of maintenance and navigation persistently emerge in player feedback

Half decent course close to campus. Looked on the website to find where to park (back of lot 49). You'll see a small white sign that will direct you up mainly grassy patches. Although I appreciate how the course leads you through beautiful scenery and the pedestrian walkway, the narrow paths are unkept and had a lot of shrubbery growing in the way. I'd suggest wearing long pants as we got cuts from thorny plants and burs. Also, if you don't look up the map online, it may be hard to locate all the holes.

Could use additional maintenance very thorny and just overall rough experience. Can't complain much since it's free but other free courses are definitely nicer.

- Aidan Messier

It's a decent enough course.... the parks department could stand to do a little upkeep of the path for the course but overall it's not so bad.
