Although the park is well manicured, the tee markers were incredibly difficult to find, as they were at ground level and the grass concealed them. Most holes were Par 3 with a distance of about three hundred feet.

There are minimal obstacles, just a few ornamental trees scattered around the park. The biggest risk of a rogue disc is searching through the adjacent corn fields or landing in the fenced backyards that are right along the course.
