2022 version is solid 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2022 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- decent length, not too long - reachable for most decent ams.
- nice use of elevation - up and over some rises, across some "valleys".
- low but fair ceilings, punishes nose-up stalls.
- downtown Raleigh - if you are close to there. Nice alternative to Kentwood.

Cons:

- only 9 holes, single tee-pad (if it had 18, I'd go 4)
- tends to favor RHFH throwers
- proximity to State means potentially crowded with chuckers nice afternoons....
- primarily dirt tee pads

Other Thoughts:

I played two loops today. Really enjoyed it. Hole 1 is forgettable. Hole 2 is tucked up the hill in the trees a bit. Then, the course gets interesting - low ceilings and trees make the par 3s somewhat challenging. Parking lot at 1 is tight. The alternate lot starts you on 8 - which would be a tough hole to start on. You could argue holes 3-8 have been thought out pretty well. Either distance or elevation or low ceiling makes it interesting. 8 (valley shot) and 9 (downhill bomber) are great finishing holes. I hope to get out a few more times while this is up. Be sure to have the link with the course map.

I think I liked it better than West. I think they could have expanded East a little and popped at least 2-3 more holes onto the property. Still, enjoyable course. Be sure to get out in the morning, before the chuckers wake up and hit the course!
