Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through a grassy area with a few trees and some nice elevation changes. The first and last shots are down and back up steep hills, and there are a couple other shots that use the elevation to add some fun and a little more challenge. Two shots bring some trees into play so you need to shape your shots a little. A couple holes are longer, giving you a chance to throw some longer holes. There are numbered flags on the targets, and the area around each is flat and grassy making for a fine tee spot. The grounds are nicely kept, with lush but mowed grass and no trash or vandalism.

Cons:

There are no tees, so you just throw from one target to another. They are numbered, but oddly, so the layout crosses over itself and doesn't make much sense. There are plenty of safari options, playing clockwise or counter-clockwise work much better in terms of flow. Most of the available shots are wide open, so they're not all that exciting or challenging. I would think a lot of the people potentially playing this course would be beginners, so having the targets spread out and forcing long shots could be discouraging.

Other Thoughts:

This is kind of an odd course, the targets are fine but a little strange, with a tone pole that has chains hanging around it. With no tees you have to make your own course to some extent, but not many of the possible holes have much going on. Beginners will find it long and open, so they won't be punished for inaccurate shots but it's not very interesting. More experienced players will find a couple chances to rip a big drive, but otherwise it's boring.

Depending on what's going on, the course isn't always available to play, and they occasionally charge a visitor fee to come onto the grounds. They have events and during those they told us the course would be unavailable. Otherwise the staff was friendly and helpful, though none knew about any maps or scorecards.
