Pros:
Big arms with limited accuracy will be severely punished on this course. Straight, precise drives are a must at the Evergreen course.
Stunning forest sculpting fairways & greens draped with heavy moss will prompt many snapshots by all but the most jaded and perpetually negative players.
A wide variety of "lefty/righty" holes will make this course feel fair to players despite greens being well-guarded and blind in several (8?) cases. Ingenious signage will guide even the most directionally-challenged player from green to tee after every hole. Unless you cannot see the color hot pink.
Any bogey free round at this course is a major accomplishment. A round without a 4 is surely 1000-rated as long as a deuce or 3 happens.
Free parking on weekends allows miserly golfers 2 free days/week.
Seldom crowded, this course can usually be played in under an hour by decent players barring lost discs.
Copious shade keeps players cool even during the blazing hot hours of the day as we had during the major high pressure front we had late May 2017.
Cons:
Perhaps 3 holes total might count as "easy" (1, 3 & 6). But none of them are silly or boring.
Tee pads still need lots of work. Wettest winter on record made a few of them so soggy that they were barely functional for a few days.
Detritus from trees and limbs removed recently still clusters areas not far from flight paths, greens. Months of regular volunteering will remedy much of the clutter that often gobbles up drives that aren't far off line.
Signs are varied and confusing as of May 2017. Some new signs will alleviate any confusion for 1st-time visitors.
Other Thoughts:
Updated course info should reflect 17 distinct holes/baskets in 2017. Original hole 1 can be played before new #1 or after current #17 to achieve the canonized 18-hole milestone.
Par is at least 56 for this 18 hole format. Two holes are obvious par 4s, measuring 450+' through heavily wooded areas. No one will ever ace either hole, making it an obvious par 4 for those stuck in the 70s "everything's a par 3" mindset.
"New" Hole 7 is a brutal dog leg right that will see at least 10 times as many 4s, 5s, and 6s as deuces, so it's a borderline par 4. "Bonus hole #18" is 450' ish with hills, OB which plays to basket #2 and is also a borderline par 4.
New hole 14 (old 8?) is listed at 325 or so on the sign but easily measures 370 and plays 400 due to slightly uphill fairway. Easily 5 times as many 4s as deuces would be carded by top pros on this hole.
The remaining 13 holes can be reached with long, accurate drives.
Increase in play will help clear some of the underbrush on the 8 new holes.
