Too difficult 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course is well-maintained.

Most holes have multiple tees; with a mix of concrete and astro-turf.

Holes have a lot of variety with some hemmed in with dense trees and some more open. The last 2 holes go up and around a sledding hill, and then across a water feature.

The course board at the start is very detailed and in great shape.

Good signage to find your way between holes.

Cons:

Way too difficult. The holes among the trees are hemmed in by punishing dense trees; anything other than perfect drives off the tee will land in unplayable spots in the brush.

Too many holes are completely blind with the basket hidden from the tee.

Most holes show an alternate basket location but the baskets are not installed.

Bugs can be a problem on the holes between the trees.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course mostly from the easier tees and still really struggled. I'm not a regular or pro, but this course was difficult to the point of not being fun. On the holes between the trees, the fairways are punishingly narrow with trees in the middle and a curve to hide the basket. The hole on the sledding hill like most of the holes on this course was completely blind where you need to walk far off the tee just to see the basket.

For an experienced and highly accurate player, this course might provide a great challenge. Certainly the holes are all very unique and this course is memorable despite being only 9 holes.

Definitely bring brightly colored discs to find them more easily in the undergrowth.
