Pros:
• New highly visible Prodigy Baskets
• Dual Tees
• Tests your accuracy and power
• Another course at the same sight (and soon to be a third)
Cons:
• Majority of signs are faded/missing
• Very easy to get turned around and go the wrong direction to the next hole
• A couple holes force you to throw through a very very tight gap between pine trees, or throw up and over hoping you can find where it lands since its completely blind.
• On the longest holes that require the most power also have very high grass so if you aren't on the fairway you will be searching for a long time.
• The new hole between 6 and 7 helps bridge the walk between holes, but it's a incredible tight wooded corridor
Other Thoughts:
Where is the line between a challenging course, and a frustrating course?
Some of the holes on West are beautifully challenging, tight fairways, touch upshots, creative line shaping and elevation.
While other holes are pure frustration, overly long winding corridors, throwing over pine trees to completely blind landing areas where even spotters can only give an approx. landing area, throwing power shots where if you are 2' off the fairway you can spend 10+ minutes searching.
While there are more challenging holes than frustrating holes those frustrating holes turn a fun round into a drag. Coupled that with terrible signage and navigation I can't give this course a high rating
