NEW BOONE WOODS 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 24, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Large teepads and new baskets were installed on october 20 any review before that should be disgarded. The new layout brings you in and out of woods and up and down a few hills. The holes offer wide variety of shots.

Cons:

Some holes seem right on top of each other. The creek restore is not complete but will be soon so for now there is some mud tire tracks.(this is not the whole course just a few holes)

Other Thoughts:

A true beginers course that exp players might find boring, I enjoy duece or die formats as a change of place. Boone County Parks did the right thing and put in a true beginers course for people who cant handle the course down the road the WILD.

Practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 26, 2008 Played the course:never

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.
