*Great peice of property with elevation and a huge pond and creek that comes into play.
*I enjoyed the home grown course flavor with the statues and course artifacts. The baskets are homemade and are in fun locations. Some unique bridges as well
*Three different layouts; red-recreation, black-intermediate and the original layout, blue-advanced.
*Lots of shots where water is a real danger (also listed as a con)

*The number one issue for me is course navigation. I was blessed to play with a real vetran from this area who knew the course well but still had trouble navigating.
*Course maps that are provided are confusing, because most holes have multiple tee pads and many holes circle back and play to the same baskets, so its easy to get turned around.
*No course signs or even next tee signs. There are "statues" for most (but not all) teepads but you still need to then figure out what basket.
*Throwing over water or right next to it on like 8 holes. Bring extra discs.

Higher ground is overall a great play once you figure out how to navigate it. The baskets from far away look really scary but suprisingly they catch well. (we only had 1 spitout) I would not recommend somone playing this course without someone who knows it well. We gladly left $5 each in the donation mailbox behind the house to show our respect for the owner who was real friendly and appreciates a phone call before anyone comes to play. All water shots are risky but if you have talent you can park them safely. Course is very fair.

The course makes very good use of the amount of land it is on. It is very visually appealing, especially along the back of the lake, with a creek running along the back of the property - wind chimes add to the tranquil experience.
It is a private course, so has the touches that one would expect - many statues, unique bridges and overall character to the course.
The owner was very friendly, informative and hospitable.

We had some navigation issues while on the course, so any signage would help - especially just next tee signs.
Not much variance in types of tee shots - it seemed to be very RHBH friendly. The wooden benches and bridge(s) could use some repair/replacement.
The course is located in a flood plain - so drainage after rain is slow and standing water will be present if there was any recent precipitation.
There are Canadian geese that inhabit the lake - so there are many goose droppings - while it cannot be avoided, it still not a pro.

This is a homegrown course through and through - character, baskets, etc. - it is a great change in flavor (and a compliment) to many courses in the area.
While I didn't find much difference in the holes - the #9 Red "peninsula" hole really stood out as a signature hole.
I would roughly estimate that half of the baskets are homemade (racing tires, water barrels) - while you are not going to hear that lovely chain sound on most, they caught incredibly better than they looked.
If you do not like throwing near/over water, then you would not enjoy this course - many holes parallel the lake or creek. Be careful on red #11, there is a floating bridge to get to the tee - we found it fun, but be aware.
Some teepads, mostly pavers identify the tee area - although no issues with the natural teepads.
An initial look at the map can be a little confusing, but once on the course - it is manageable.
While there was some drama in the past around ratings of this course, do not let that deter you from giving it a try.
