Played the course:once
Pros:
-Good balance of long, open shots and shorter, dog legging, wooded shots.
-Both types of holes require a good deal of skill to birdie. Bad throws go punished.
-Good tee marking signs. Blue tees are longer, red tees are shorter-good for beginners.
-Flags top each basket.
-In an area which is often windy. This creates a good, challenging atmosphere.

Cons:
-Hole 6 doesn't match the map, and I couldn't find the blue tee box. The red tee box, however, seems to play in reverse to what the map indicates.
-The "front 9" holes intermingle with open, grassy areas and paths which can often be busy, creating hazards (hitting people with a disc.)
-Rubber mat tee boxes are too short (~4 ft), and the dirt behind it is often sloped or bumpy.
-Zero amenities. No bathrooms, water, or benches.

Other Thoughts:
First time playing this course. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A map for your first time is a necessity. Also, I should have had a spotter for the wooded holes. I spent a lot of time looking for discs in trees and high grass.

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
As of today there are baskets at each hole and an additional practice basket has been put in near hole 1 tee pad. The course offers a variety of shots, shot long, across ditches, a few blind shots, 7 is a nasty dogleg that can be played as a fun but risky hyzerbomb. The back nine are super fun but play in dense trees and bushes. There are blue (pro) and red (beginner) tee pads for most if not all holes. The course uses terrain very well for the land used.
Cons:
There are not permanent tee pads yet, was told by the course designer that pads are coming, and so are a second set of chains. The baskets are not top of the line (Costco special I believe), but don't let that deter you from checking the course out.
Other Thoughts:
For still being in it'd infancy this course has a huge amount of potential to be a great course. Brandon has put a ton of work in on the course. Of the 4 times I've played, each time things have been added for the betterment of the course; course maps at hole 1, objects replaced with baskets, back nine put in, practice basket, and announcements of upcoming events at tee pads.
