Nice little course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 18, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice layout through the woods, long tees ad some nice challenges. Just about every shot is covered. Really nice course to take a starting player and throw from the whites, emphasis is put on line and shot shaping not distance, good shots are rewarded.

Cons:

A couple of the open holes are lack luster but not bad when taken in with the whole course.

18, the course was redesigned and changed when the Capital bike trail went in a few years ago, 5 holes had to be redone. While 18 is fine hole it just doesn't belong on this course. It doesn't just fit with the theme. I'm not saying it's a bad hole it just doesn't belong on the course. The tee shot from the whites is some odd maybe flipup s-turn hope or a hyzer that may not get through to a tough approach. Long tees is just a tunnel shot to the white tee.

I love this course but would just like to see 18 redone so that it fits in with the rest of the course. 18 could actually be split in 2, put a basket before the current white tees, make the blue tees the white tees for it and back the blues up into the woods. 19 could then use the existing white tees as the blues and the whites could be moved up and to the left a bit.

Other Thoughts:

Nice quiet and peaceful course, good walk through the woods, and another one that would be good from the short tees with just a putter or mid.
