Cons:
-A little wet in some areas. It hadn't rained in a least a week and the course was suprisingly wet
-A couple of holes are near playground, tennis courts, and small family pavillion. Pedestrians were a factor

Other Thoughts:
Overall this is a fun course. Not to mention there are 3 other courses all within 3 miles of Englewood Park. RECOMMENDED

Pros:
They made good use of the area. The front 9 it tight but fair with plenty of variety in the shots. The back 9 allows you to stretch out you arm on a couple of holes.
Cons:
There are a few holes that can get swampy after a hard rain. They usually keep the area fairly clear but there are times the front nine can get grown over.
Other Thoughts:
It is what it is, a beginner course with a few technical holes to keep you on you toes.

Short technical 2+ years drive by

Pros:
The first course installed in RM, a great short technical course, ideal for beginners or anyone wanting to work on their putter shots. First 13 holes play in tight woods, most of these holes are right around 200 ft. 14-18 play in the open and give the chance to let you air out a few drives
Cons:
a few wooded holes are on the fluky side, 15 is a fluky hole playing around a tennis court.

Pros:
Great beginner course.
Cons:
Can get swampy on front 9 after heavy rains.
Other Thoughts:
Great course to play if you're looking to finish in about an hour (playing w/ 2 people). Also fun to play at night. If you're lucky, the lights will be on ; on one or several of the fields, which helps a little.

Pros:
Good course to start out on. Teaches you the ropes of throwing in the woods and they aren't very long holes. Then you get to throw some bombs on the back 9. Concrete boxes and signs are always a plus.
Cons:
When it rains and the creek gets water it comes into play. Pedestrians come into play on the back 9. Thats about it. Not too many negatives.
Other Thoughts:
Good starter course. I enjoy playing it.

Pros:
It was a pretty short course that made good use of the land it sat on. Front 9 weave through a typical NC forest, tall narrow loblolly pines. Back nine partially open after hole 12. Navigation was pretty easy to find next tee as well as the basket you're throwing to without walking too far.
Cons:
No elevation change what so ever. Signs weren't in great shape, although the distance was pretty visible/accurate.
Other Thoughts:
Lots of trees on the front. If you like tunnel shots, you'll like the front of this course. It's a pretty good beginner course as the front gets newbies used to trees while the back allows them to let loose and rip. Nothing over 350 though from what i remember. I had fun even though it was almost 100 degrees.

Played the course:never
Pros:
has both wooded for skill and open for power, allowes you to work on both parts of your game
Cons:
after rain 1st 9 can have standing water, there is a large ditch that runs through the front 9, can be 5' deep in places, and can come into play a good bit.
Other Thoughts:
This is a good course for starters and more advanced. The front 9 is heavly wooded; don't let the short holes mis-lead you, you are playing around the trees and ditch.
