Great and Fun Course!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 2, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great layout with course! Many fun and challenging shots! Woods are tight in some places, but fairways are cut out to help make it easier! Different elevations make this course great!

Cons:

Tee signs are on trees, but maps are hard to read and alot of the baskets do not have the number you are shooting at. Also, it kinda gets confusing to find the next tee since there are no directions. I found that the heavier chains arent as forgiving as the regulation chains are.

Other Thoughts:

I had a great time on this course. Its a private course, but the owner put alot of time into making it nice and laid out quite well. If you are around the area, i would definately suggest you play it!

Very Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 11, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has great balance. There are long and short holes, tight and somewhat open holes, elevation changes, hyzer and anhyzer holes. The course is on fairly sandy ground which drains very well, so the terrain is usually in good shape even after a rain. Although most of the course is wooded, there is very little undergrowth so insects, poisonous plants and lost discs are normally not problems. Alan and his family are gracious hosts.

Cons:

Maybe good, maybe bad - the baskets are all homemade and catch very well - probably too well as the chains are heavier than commercially available baskets. To facilitate flow, a couple holes play to the same basket and a couple holes use the same fairway to different basket locations - normally not issues due to being a private course. A welcome addition would be creation of a few holes with true pars above 3 as space is not an issue.

Other Thoughts:

Another wonderful private course that is definitely worth checking out. Call ahead of time and you could probably arrange for camping with all of the amenities.
