Pros:
Our third public course in Charlotte County, FL. Nice new Mach V baskets and adequate concrete tees. It plays through a dedicated area of the park and is pretty lengthy for a nine-hole course and pretty challenging. The course is fairly heavily wooded and fairly tight and techy. Navigation is easy. There is a crushed shell path snaking down the center of the fairways from tee to basket and basket to tees. Also, the tees are close enough to the previous baskets to make finding them a snap. The course is fun and offers plenty of risk/reward type shots.
Specific hole information:
Hole1: Behind the YMCA building near the pavilion by the tennis courts. A tricky wooded hyzer (RHBH).
Hole 2: Start following the crushed shell path and you will see the basket hiding slightly to the right.
Hole 3: Long and through the wooded area.
Hole 4: Straight ahead.
Hole 5: Hard left through some tight woods.
Hole 6: Long. Winding through the woods.
Hole 7: Zig Zags through the woods.
Hole 8: Long with switchbacks. Again, follow the crushed shell trail.
Hole 9: To the left.
Cons:
Our Charlotte County courses are generally lacking in proper tee signage, but hopefully, they are coming. Some of the fairways are close to others and some of the tees are a little close to previous baskets. Some mandos may be needed for safety reasons. This is definitely not a rec course. It will probably be an ok course for noobs though as there is no water and the rough is pretty forgiving.
Other Thoughts:
One of the more challenging nine-hole courses that I've played in a while. Fun and interesting looks and an isolated chill environment make for a satisfying round. The course is still a little raw but should season in well. Practice your Tarzan yell. You're going to need it!
