Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
-- Nice concrete tees for all holes, although they are on the small side.
-- Restroom on site.
-- Good use of the available land with a good mix of holes: Wooded, a couple with elevation and water now in play on at least 3 holes on the back nine (13-15).
-- Good course flow, which is good because the signs/markers, etc. are very limited.
-- Beginner friendly, except for water carries. There are bailout options, however.
-- Never crowded. In fact, I've only once seen another group playing in the dozens of times I've been.

Cons:
-- The new baskets on the back nine (added a dozen years ago but well after the course opened as a 9-holer) are Instep. The front 9 are Innova. In good shape, the Instep baskets don't catch well, and they are no longer in good shape.
-- Holes tend to be short. Only one is over 300 feet (No. 13 is 485 feet and listed as a par 5).
-- Cabins (modular buildings) have just been added near the 15 basket. They somewhat block/obstruct the safer (bailout) RHFH/LHBH throw to avoid the water.

Other Thoughts:
-- Someone has added yellow metal triangles to the tops of the Instep baskets on the back 9 (apparently to make them look more like the Innova baskets on the front nine). I appreciate the effort, but I would rather that time and money have gone into updating/maintaining the baskets themselves, which are in bad shape.
-- Pay to play. It's $3.25 per person for a day pass, so it's not crazy expensive.
-- Very little upkeep is done on the course, so limbs now obstruct several throws in ways they didn't a dozen years ago.

Not too shabby, nice lake views 2+ years drive by

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Concrete pads on every tee. Nice view of the lake, good amount of shade on 2/3 of the course. Good variety of open and tight fairways. Easy to navigate despite a couple of tee signs pointing in the wrong direction. A little elevation change here and there.
Cons:
Lots of short holes. Instep baskets on the back 9 aren't too bad but some players won't like them. Hole 14's tee box is in Hole 13's fairway.
Other Thoughts:
I really like this course. The back 9 baskets are single chain Insteps but baskets aren't that important a feature to me. Every hole has a sign with the distance, and there are plenty of arrow signs pointing to the next hole. Even though there are a lot of short holes you do have to execute a good shot to hit the line.
