Pros:
Aesthetic- plays in a state recreation area in a DG exclusive area. Is a complete work in progress.
Teepads- Long and in good repair. I have two major complaints about them however. one, they have stupid pipes in them. I'm not sure why the state park areas all have piping in the teepads but it is a serious tripping hazard. two, they are so elevated from the surrounding, that falling off of the pad could seriously hurt someone.
Baskets- in nice condition, could be more visible in the thick woods.
Routing and nav- not bad, not good. with the weird numbering (for now) the routing is a bit wonky but it's easy enough to follow I suppose.
Challenge- decent amount of challenge here, mainly in the form of thick shule. Poison ivy is here, but not anywhere as bad as the gulch.

Cons:
Teepads- See above.
Variety- heavily favors lefties and forehanders (RH). the holes that are in the ground are all very similar and boring.
Rough- super rough, poison ivy, thorns.

Other Thoughts:
I think this course seriously needs to be finished. the holes in the ground are mundane and monotonous. I was not sad to leave here.
