Other Thoughts:
Even from the short tees, basket placement can be challenging. The elevation changes are fun rather than grueling. The course is long enough that benches would be really nice. There are LOTS of berry bushes along the course, making for brutal disc hunting if you get off-course. Having bikers ride by really closely can be nerve wracking.
