Other Thoughts:
Mostly open park style course with 2 sets of tee pads for each basket.
Barling Beast from the longs.
The reputation for this course is it does not always get mowed often and the grass on the back holes can get long.
There is a small creek that flows though the course that does come into play.
For the most part, the course is away from other park amenities till you get to the last hole. The rest of the course is tall tree's but not a lot of them.
A couple of the holes do have mando's from the longs to give you a dog leg.
The longs are pretty long too. Hole 12 is nearly 1100ft. You throw across the creek, up and over a small hill, over a small valley to another hill. It's a sign par 6, only time I have ever seen that.
In general, this is a long and boring course. It's not wide open, but there are just not enough tree's to make many of the holes interesting. If you turn a disc over or hyzer out, it's an easy recovery.
Would I play here again? No, I was not impressed. I had read several reports of the grass being tall, but as you can see in my pictures, at least the full course was mowed in January.
