Spring Lake Church DGC is a surprisingly good course. One of the better church courses I've played to date actually. The course is currently set up in an alternate layout due to construction around the church but a full 18 holes were set up and playable. I didn't take pictures due to this but it's worth getting a review up since the majority of the course is in the woods and uneffected by the construction it seems.

Great mix of wooded holes that play pretty close to the lake and over or near a creek. Not overly hilly but plenty of undulations throughout and some tricky pin placements as well. Honestly the design out here is pretty damn great actually. Not what I was expecting, that's for sure.

White Dynamic Discs Veteran baskets on every hole. These are all in good shape and catch pretty well. The white really makes them pop out which was appreciated. One basket and pin placement per hole. Currently holes 3 and 17 share a basket on the "under construction" layout on Udisc. It appears that they do on the other layout too though.

Brick tee pads on most of the holes. These are nicely made and look and function very good. No complaints with these. One tee pad per hole on most holes. They were a couple older looking framed up gravel pads out there. I'm pretty sure these are left over from the old layout though judging by their condition.

Good balance of shots required off the tee. I'd say it favors RHBH slightly, but there's definitely some FH holes here too. Very easy navigation and not much for longer walks between holes. There's arrows attached to the bottom of each basket pointing you toward the next tee, next tee arrows on each sign and even little metal posts with orange arrows along the trails in some spots. As good of next tee signage as I've probably ever seen.

Pretty nice tee signs too. They're on the smaller side and just laminated currently but they have all the info needed on them. Hole #, par, distance and even the elevation change for each hole. The hole maps are basic but at least give you an idea of the intended line and direction of the basket.

There's plenty of places where you can lose a disc out here. The rough is pretty thick in the deeper parts of the woods and the creek is pretty wide, deep and very muddy looking. I managed to throw two discs into it on the same hole actually. One I was able to get back, the other was nowhere to be seen.

Not really a con but it is worth noting. The bugs probably get thick out here in the summer. There weren't too many out today but with the lake a creek it's bound to only be a matter of time.

The first two holes have you throwing from the parking lot. Hole 1 is basically parking lot for the whole fairway currently. I'd assume that this is just temporary though.

There are a few spots that don't appear to drain very well and will be pretty muddy after rains.

This course was a pleasant surprise. I'd actually recommend this one for those that like wooded golf. I'll definitely play this one next time I'm over here. Great addition to the area and if they keep up with the maintenance, is actually one of the better ones, which rare for a church course. It's probably a 3.25 but I'll give it the bump up to 3.5 for fun factor. Very impressed with this one.
