A Solid NINE Hole Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 21, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

To start off, Cougar Country has to be one of the most badass names for a course in the world, and although I didn't see a cougar, I still enjoyed the cool name.

Course wise, it was a pretty cool course for someone who isn't used to the courses down south, as they do seem to differ from my regular program back in Pennsylvania. The land was a sand/pine needle mixture, which is definitely different than the grassy roots I'm used to.

The course is well maintained, with no problem finding any discs, or really finding anything, as navigation was easy as well. Not much to complain about from that standpoint.

Weaving through the small wooded area they had, as well as the open areas gave a nice mix of open and wooded holes for the course.

Two teepads per hole was a pleasant addition, providing a long and short look to the baskets. The tee signs were helpful, and the baskets were in great shape as well.

Cons:

To start, this isn't an 18 hole course with 9 baskets. It is a 9hole course with two tees. They don't differ nearly enough, and I can see a huge problem arising if you wanted a large group of people to share this course.

Completely flat, not that it's controllable, but it leaves a boring taste in your mouth.

The rubber tee pads would be slippery when wet, but they are also slippery when sandy. Not really a great tee pad tp have in this environment, as they get a lot of rain too.

A pretty easy course, as an intermediate level player, shooting 9 down on 9 is a definite possibility. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's not a good thing really either.

Other Thoughts:

A solid beginner course, a nice nine-holer, but not a wowza type course. I like playing here, but I really wish the whole area got a real 5 star caliber course, because they have an overall great community.

Keep discin' Cougar Country!
