on second thought, lets not go there, tis a silly place 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Aesthetic-- plays in the back lot of a middle school between this lot and an adjacent park. There is a gate between the two locations and it was locked the day I was there. There are nature trails back in these woods, walkers could certainly be an issue.

Baskets-- Nice and in new condition. Flags could help visibility consideribly.

Routing and nav-- not bad, not good. 4 to 5 is the only sticky spot.

Teepads-- diamond plate rubber mats. My only choice in rubber mats.

Cons:

Unfortunately these cons will outweigh most of the pros.

Rediculously narrow fairways in the woods-- probalby 4ft fairways in the woods will leave you throwing a putter low and slow most of the time. These are some of the narrowest fairways I've seen.

Safety-- #6 throws over #7's teepad, #7 throws over #8's Teepad and #8 throws over a locked gate... just bad design

The Gate-- there is a locked gate between 8's teepad and basket. I could see the basket and you could probably shimmy under the gate but whats the point? Why would anyone build a course over a locked gate? I can't picture where this would be a good idea.

Teesigns-- none. Mats are marked with hole # only.

Linear design-- you have to walk back from #8/9 to get to your vehicle. it's not a loop but rather you go all the way out, then traverse the first 9 holes (through fairways) to get back to your vehicle. Bad Bad Bad for safety.

Upkeep/rough-- There needs to be some serious clearing of fairways and meadows to keep from losing discs out here.

Other Thoughts:

I understand this is in it's infancy, but a serious amount of work needs to be done before this is a legit course. I drove a long way to play this course (I'm a bagger) and was badly disappointed.
