Could be scary challenging to a new player because of the terrain and trees.
Other Thoughts:
I love this course and have even signed up to play as a novice in an upcoming tournament. I know I am going to probably be embarrassed and shoot like 70 over par, but I want the challenge and the experience. Plus I get fresh air, exercise and some beautiful Eastern Kentucky scenery at the same time
