Pros:
I've heard more than a few call this a beginner course...and they are wrong. With an average distance close to 275 it is beyond what is normally considered a Beginner Course. Winton Woods is a beginner course with 15 holes less than 210 feet. Boone has a 422 foot hole, a 348 downhill shot that is protected by trees that even an intermediate would gladly take a three on, and a few shots that require accuracy off the tee or you end up with high probability of a bogey. A beginner course will still offer pars to errant tee shots. The course is better described as a great practice course. Once you advance to where your drives are 300'+ you can then play this course with a midrange and work on that aspect of your game. It offers backhand, forehand, roller, hyzer, anhyzer, tommy and every other shot opportunity with just a few trees strategically placed on the course.
Cons:
Short teepads. Old baskets make for frustrating putting..but if used as a practice course it will make your putting better for courses with more modern baskets. Signage needs replacing on every hole.
Other Thoughts:
This is a course that will let you grow into the game. It is still difficult for most intermediates to shoot below 54 on a regular basis. It is a great course to practice for tournaments with a lot of wind.
