Sneak Peek 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 16, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

I was not supposed to be on the course yet, it doesn't open until the 21st of October. (Oops) but here are my first impressions from that little sneak peek-

Tees are great! All tees are consistent, beautiful concrete.
A lot of holes (as when I played) had a bench, trash can and bag hook. I'm sure when the course is actually openned they'll all have those amenities.
Although there isn't signage up yet, the course was pretty easy to navigate. Most baskets had an arrow hanging underneath pointing to the next tee.
Fairways are distinct and well thought out, every target is visible from its tee.
Good use of terrain. Hills and gullies throughout, less aggressive than their other course.
Not sure what the pars are yet but I would guess mostly 3s, two holes could be 4s.
Defined OB on the holes. Another great aspect of this course is the little white marker flags used to show out of bounds areas on holes.

Beautiful dirt work on the course. Alex and anyone helping him did a fantastic job sculpting the new holes!

Cons:

The rough can be pretty angry on a couple of holes. I lost a poorly shot mid into some cast off stumps along hole 6(?)

Other Thoughts:

Again, I wasn't supposed to be playing this course yet. I went for an early morning round and only had a $10 to drop in the honor box ($5 for one round here). After finishing my round on the original course, it didn't look like there was anyone up and about yet so I went poking around to see all the work that had been done on the new track. Hole one begs to be crushed and i was sucked into throwing them all. It wasn't until I had finished my round that I met Alex outside and he let me know that I wasn't supposed to play it yet.

Sorry about jumping the gun.. but excellent work, man!
