Clean, short and clear. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 6, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice little park with big playground and facilities for the family. Nice, big concrete tee pads on all holes. Good signs for each hole, and easy navigation. Very few opportunites to lose plastic. Good place for beginners and less than advanced players to learn the game. Mature trees provide the hazards, but almost all the brush and undergrowth has been cleared.

Cons:

Many holes that are straight shots with a few obstacles. Very repetitive. Not many fairways that make you create a line to the basket. Course should be very easy for advanced players with big arms. Most holes range from 200-300'. First 10 holes are pretty dull.

Other Thoughts:

A lot of work has been done, and this course is a great place for new players, or players that want to work on a certain part of their game without a lot of frustration. Holes 12 and 14-17 are the holes that have some real character. 12 is a long down hill with a narrow gap between two sets of trees. Baseball field on right could cause risk for those that try to go around trees. Double mando on 14 with a creek on th eleft. 15 is long and straight, but the basket is on a small hill that will create rolls on your approaches and putts. 16 is a nice short ACE run, but has a small creek and some tress guarding the basket. 17 is long and straight, but has an OB fence on left and an OB road on the right.

B- = Be nice but also a Bit funky 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2007 Played the course:once

Pros:

What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward -- B+
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities -- B
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography -- A-
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion -- B
5) Bonus amount for multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them -- N/A

Cons:

Can't put my finger on it exactly, since this course's individual elements that I grade upon add up higher than the rating I gave it. For some reason this was not a fun course for me. I think it had too many funky shaped holes where you had to try to force your disc to fly in ways that were not natural. That is OK for 2-4 holes per course, but it seemed like this course had much more funk than that.

Other Thoughts:

I did visit the course while it was newish so maybe/hopefully things have been refined since.

It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (115 18-hole, 50 9-hole as of early 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.
