Getting better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

New tee pads are turf and grip well(played an early dewy morning) Bright blue and Red turf easily defines where to throw from. Multiple baskets on many holes offer a variety of options. Freshly mowed fairways made it an enjoyable walk. (Been here when grass/weeds were knee high) Course is wide open on the long ones and the short one have been situated amongst trees that offer good lines. Water is the biggest hazard on the course! If you hit your lines it shouldn't come into play but...(lost 4discs total between my 2sons and I over 15+ rounds collectively). Baskets are in great condition and catch well.

Cons:

Have questions about the signage, doesn't seem correct in length and confusing as to what basket is being measured?

Other Thoughts:

If I did this review after playing it for the 1st time it would've rated much lower. Most of my concerns have been addressed (teepads #1) and this is a course you should play if in the area!

Technical in its own way 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 9, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is challenging for an open course. The challenges come by way of several factors: wind, water and worrisome OBs. Due to the lack of trees and nearness to the coast, there seems to be a nice breeze which will test your ability to adjust to headwinds, tailwinds and sidewinds on each shot. There is lots of water at the course making accuracy and distance control critical if you want to keep your discs dry and keep your score low. Many of the holes have water on one or more sides of the green. There are some OBs and well-designed Mandos that add intrigue. Many of the baskets are atop of a hill which makes rollaways possible and add risk/reward to your upshot and putts. While there are few trees to hit, the technical challenge comes from reading the wind, disc selection, angle of release and distance control. The course is beautiful, has 2 practice baskets with loaner discs in them and has Udisc mapped for ease of finding the next tee.

Cons:

It can be a bit confusing for newcomers as to which basket you are throwing to, but there is a pattern based on which layout you are playing and the color of the basket and tee pad. If you have an emotional connection to some of your discs and suffer from separation anxiety, bring some back-up discs that will let you sleep at night. It got a little wet on a few of the fairways, but not a huge issue the days I played.

Other Thoughts:

This course is different than many I've played. I have played ball golf courses that share the course with disc golf. Not worrying about getting hit with a ball is an added bonus plus not having to wait for the ball golfers to get out of the way was nice. I can't wait to return to play it again.
