Pros:
- par65 with mostly true par4 and 5s. Nothing like that in middle TN. Some of these holes (6, 12, 16, 18) are pro level and will take you to the limit
- despite being open there are enough obstacles on the front 9 to force controlled shot shapes. Back 9 has mostly true fairways in the woods. Schustrick did a decent job with the layout. I only threw a full distance flex without worrying about where it landed on one hole (#9)
- unlimited potential being a free to play private course. They can easily put in AM tees, OB lines, or new pin locations. Fun to grab a drink at the bar after the round
Cons:
- tee pads still natural. Some front9 pads are just a pile of rocks, quite dangerous
- ticks
- holes 1 and 3 are bland
- holes 14, 15, 16 are soft par4s. 10 is a little soft as a par 5. I'd play with the distances or put in OB lines to improve these.
- currently no AM tees. Noodle arms beware.
Other Thoughts:
Course is still raw but worth checking out if you're in the Nashville area. Only time will tell if they polish it up and add amenities or keep it as is, but there's tons of potential on the property.
