Not too shabby 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-New DGA baskets on all holes
-Made good use of areas between the various rec areas of the camp.
-Scorecard had a good map.
-Signs were very good as well.
-Nice use of elevation changes
-Having to play to under the canopy of some very large and old trees is difficult, but interesting. Impossible to carry over them.

Cons:

-Fairways weren't fair on some wooded holes. It was more of a "Can I get lucky through these trees?" hole in a couple cases. The trees weren't tight, but there weren't legitimate routes through some of the woods.
-Lots of blind holes. Worrisome because some baskets are close to rec areas, walking paths, or roads, so you need to check to make sure no one is around them.
-Some of the holes could have made better use of the terrain and surroundings. A long string of short pitch-n-putts on the front half is great for my score, but pretty boring.
-Dirt pads were dry and sandy dirt, so it shifted A LOT. Also they were worn down to ditches in some cases. I had to play to the side of some of the tees to keep myself upright

Other Thoughts:

Hole info is out of date. It appears they have moved some holes around.
Hole Pars seem generous, probably for the kids self esteem...I played 2 over by normal DG standards, and 8 under by their scorecard...
#3, i think, with the benches---The kids and counselors on this hole weren't really in play. I was able to throw pretty well to the left of them. A griplock could have gone towards them though.
#5, first long hole---Forced layup under the big trees makes me feel robbed on the first long hole.
#15 played over the kickball field. They finished right before I got there, but I would have definitely had to skip it had they been there. So way to safely throw over that many people.
#16 Carrying the big trees protecting the left-middle is harder than it looks. The trees on the right keep you from using a big hyzer to get around it.
