The "Big Bomber" Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Huge amount of land for this course. The possibilities for the future of this course are endless. The land could easily house 36 holes if the designer wanted to go that route.
This is a big arm course so all of you bombers, grab your long range drivers and come play. Two holes in particular (#5 and #13) are two of the longest holes I have ever seen on a disc golf course. Being this is a brand new course as of this spring, new Innova discatcher baskets are new and shiny.

Cons:

We have to remember how new this course is and that is seems to still be in development.
Carpeted tee pads on the front nine and some to none on the back nine.
Course signage is non-existent as of yet so you're on your own once you get there.
The open course leads to a bit of repetitiveness of shots but the back nine get a bit more interesting. The challenge on a number of the open holes comes more from Tee placement and raw yardage rather than course obstacles.
The development of this course has a long way to go.

Other Thoughts:

This is a big arm bombers dream course for many of the holes. The converted ball golf course allows for tons of room, yardage and endless possibilities for the future development of this course. The course starts out with a hidden Tee #1 tee pad back behind and tucked under some larger trees along the tree line. It plays out to an open, slightly raised basket back close to the tree line along the left. Hole 2 plays back the opposite way back to the parking lot. Then cross the road for 3-9. You won't forget #5 as it takes three solid driver shots to get in range. I can't wait to see the actual yardage of that hole. It's got to be 1000+ ft. I couldn't find the tee pad for #6 until afterwards looking at the pictures on this sight. 6-9 get a bit repetitive in the open field following along the left tree line. 10 plays across a small water pond and can give even the hydrophobic some confidence throwing plastic over water as it is a short shot across it to the basket. 11 &12 are more open field long throws. THEN you cross the road for the technical part of the course. There is a carpet tee pad for Hole #13 right before the largest body of water I have seen on a DG course. It is not for the faint of heart or any plastic you hold near and dear to your heart. Once (if) you get across the water, there is significant yardage to still make up to the basket. 14 -18 are decent technical shots with some risk involved. Probably the best holes on the course. This back 5 could be a costly day if errant throws happen as there is water and nothing I would go fishing in.
It needs to be said again, this is a new course in development and has a long way to go before an accurate review can be made as to how it will be developed. All I know is there is a LOT of grass to be mowed and a lot of big arm strength needed. I got pretty tired huckin' long throughout the course. The terrain is typical soft sandy grass so your calves will get a workout. Hats off the folks who laid it out and thought big. I hope they can develop it as well as maintain it as it has tons of potential.
