Great 9 holes 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 17, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Located on the Cornell Campus surrounded by giant trees and wonders about the old campus buildings makes for a unique and enjoyable experience. Baskets are brand new Mach 5's, so no problems with those. Good mix of left and right shots. Trees come into play on a majority of the holes. No straight shots here. Mainly hilly with few holes that are flat. Basket placement was well thought out, requiring a few different types of shots. Good flow from one hole to the next. A quiet, relaxing environment.

Cons:

No teesigns or markings that I could see, though the map that you can print out is excellently drawn. Since it wonders throughout the campus, be prepared to wait for others as the walk about. A couple of the holes go next to buildings so watch out, especially on number 8 where a building is right on the fairway. There is a slight walk between 6 and 7 that takes away from the flow a little bit. Most holes seem to be fairly close in length.

Other Thoughts:

This course because of it's setting makes it feel very different, but in a good way. Enough of a challenge for the pro level player, but would also work for a beginner. One of the best 9 hole courses I have played and would love to come back here again.
