Water water everywhere. And not a sign in sight! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is a great challenge for new players like myself. The fact that each hole has a track description with distance info is huge, because alot of the holes are obscured from the tee box. I liked the concrete pads with garbage cans and some benches. The fact that they added the back 9 not long ago bodes well for this course in the future. The baskets and tee boxes where in great shape.

Cons:

I like the "wild" courses as much as the next guy, but if you are going to carve the course out of the forest and place the tee boxes a considerable distance from the last hole you need to let a player know where the next tee is. If you are not lucky you will spend some time wandering from the basket trying to find your next tee. Holes 9 thru 18 are wrapped around a swamp and if there has been any rain recent precipitation, they will be wet...Hole 9,10,11 and 15,16,17 were completely submerged. 15 is ridiculous, the tee box is separated from the basket by 100' of knee deep water with no markings as to how to get around the swamp.

Other Thoughts:

I actually liked the course even though the review might not look like it. I will try again in the future, perhaps during a dryer season...maybe winter :)
