DG Archeology 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 30, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-18+ holes with decent, flush concrete pads.
-A few alternate pins on certain holes, both short and long.
- Scenery: One second you are in PA, next tee looks like you are playing somewhere outside of Phoenix AZ. Ugly, desolate, yet beautiful at the same time. I didn't get to play the back 18+ but I hear its more hilly and wooded, thus adding to the variety of terrain/scenery
-Nice flow to the 18 hole loop, if you can figure it out to begin with
-Varying levels of difficulty from hole to hole. Something for everyone
-Benches and chairs on select holes
-Many pins are adorned with full size American flags, making them easy to see and gives the place a patriotic vibe
-Nearby camp sites

Cons:

-Signage is virtually non-existent
-No trashcans
-"Ruins" of long discontinued teepads scattered about further add to the confusion as to where to shoot from, and where to go next. They look like tee pads the ancient Maya would huck from.
-Picnic tables by first tee box are about to cave in and are a eyesore
-No signage, so no par set. Play them as all 3's, when some clearly are not par 3's, even on a pro's best day.

Other Thoughts:

Certainly an interesting place, one I have yet to fully explore. I look forward to playing more here in the future, but in its current state I have to give The Dam a low rating. Signage and some trash cans could take this park from a 1.5 to a 4 instantly.

Pros:

Good tee pads. Plenty of holes to play. A couple of the holes are memorable. Alternate baskets on some holes.

Cons:

Finding your way around is very difficult. Poor signage. Few tee signs and not many arrows. Same tee shot over and over and over and over. If you like open tee shots and a course that is geared for long throwers, you will like this place more than me. Boring, imo.

Other Thoughts:

My brother showed me this place on a recent visit. Glad I got to play it, but I did not think it was a good course.
