Extremely Frustated 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is laid out across a lot of hills, with shots requiring you to aim uphill, downhill, and across hills. I had to go from overstable to understable to stable and everything in between. I didn't find myself using the same disc for multiple tee shots in a row.

Cons:

--Course flow is a HUGE problem. First off, I understand that the course has underwent a major redesign, but the baskets need to be relabelled as such. The first three holes were just fine, but when my friend and I got to hole 4, the problems started. There were two potential baskets to aim at. I was playing the long tees, and he was playing the short tees, and the short tee aimed at one basket, and the long tee aimed another way.

--Going from 6 to 7 can be a nightmare. The arrows were helpful up to a point, but it still awkward to go 6-7-8-9.

--There needs to be an arrow to point to the tee box for Hole 10. It took us a minute to find the tee box.

--The flow of course towards the end (13-19) was near impossible to follow,

Other Thoughts:

I had been looking forward to playing this course for a very long time, and I was very disappointed. Please, get the numbers right on the baskets. Get some signs for the long pads (I'm a very solid advanced player.) Put some time into helping someone who comes as a first time player to be able to get around the course with little to no issue whatsoever.
