Not good 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 2, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through mostly open areas with some scattered trees. The trees that are in play are used fairly well to make things a little more interesting. The first handful of holes and a couple holes at the end of the course use a few small hills to add a little more variety and a couple rollaway greens.

Cons:

The layout is really unsafe. There are several spots where holes play right on top of one another, with tees right near baskets and even baskets within 30' of each other. It's even worse when you're throwing into a blind area and there are several other baskets and tees in the potential landing zone for your drive that you can't see at all.

The course is basically wide open, the few trees and small hills don't do enough to make this feel like anything other than a boring field course. The majority of the shots are putter shots, only a few holes have any length and even the one hole that tees off from the top of the hill doesn't give you a chance to open up and throw a real drive. The ground is very lumpy and uneven, not a huge deal but it makes for rough footing with natural tees and makes the long walks between holes in a couple spots a little more annoying.

Other Thoughts:

Beginners will find this course pretty approachable, with shorter distances overall and not a ton of obstacles or places to lose discs though the safety issues will be magnified with less accurate players. More experienced players won't find any real challenge or variety here, there isn't a single hole with any kind of wow factor to bring you back.

Unless you just want to add another course to your list, there's not much reason to stop here rather than driving the 15 minutes to nearby Lemon Lake.
