Pros:
-good change in course style between front nine and back nine. Front nine has some elevation and plays through mature trees with a good mix of shot variety and length, back nine is a bit longer, more open with slight elevation changes.
-A couple of holes here (5 and 8) have trees just off the teepad that take away the obvious rhbh line, which is nice because it makes you think about the shot and choose the best line on the hole.
-A lot of shot variety here, some slight rhbh hyzers and anhyzers balanced with straighter shots.
-Hole 11 is a tightly wooded hole, downhill to a pin on the side of a hill, nice hole.
-I felt like a lot of these holes were weave type holes where you have to throw a nice S curve to shoot the hole correctly; examples 1, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12.
Cons:
-Navigation was my biggest issue here, there are no tee signs and I didn't print the map out so pretty much I had to wander around around a bit to start getting the flow. Biggest issues were hole 1 teepad, hole 5 teepad, hole 10 tee (across the road up by the playground), hole 17 tee (behind the lookout bench left of 16's fairway.) These weren't huge problems as I've had bigger problems with marked courses before, but it was annoying. Even just putting the hole number on the pad would have helped. Luckily the baskets all had number plates on them.
-Parking is a bit ambiguous, I drove around a bit, trying to find 1's tee, and there is very little parking up by the start.
-I didn't see any bathrooms or drinking fountains.
-A couple of holes 13, 14 were a bit too open, but they had some slight elevation to correct for that.
-It's a shame that the lake wasn't brought into play here, 18 plays along it, but no risk involved
Other Thoughts:
Overall, I really enjoyed this course, a lot of variety here and it's empty so you aren't overrun by college chuckers like you are at the campus course. The shots here are better than a 3 rating, but the navigation issue is annoying enough to knock it down a half disc.
-do yourself a favor and print out the map before playing here, and if you've seen 4's pin (at the curve in the road at everly park) as you are driving around looking for the first tee, you've gone too far, go back up the hill until the edge of the ravine. There you'll find 1's tee. Happy hunting.
