Long and short 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 23, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Discatcher baskets and rubber tee pads. Score cards give distance. Nice mix of long open shots and short mid range/putter approaches. Par 3, 501 ft hole with a water stream hazard and OB offers some technicality. Need the disc to work both directions at certain holes. Very wide open and baskets are visible from a majority of the pads.

Cons:

Pads are slightly narrow and no signs yet. Chances to cross stream are far between. It is difficult with in wind.

Other Thoughts:

Living in New Hampshire it was a nice chance to play an open course and disc down. Water hazard makes shot selection relevant. You really can't blame low hanging branches or unkept fairways. Field will be tough on to play with any sort of rain/dampness. Nice open 18.

very nice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 18, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very nice course. One of my favorites. Mostly open holes but there are challenges. The creek winding throughout the course is a disc magnet but fun to play around. The best tee pads anywhere.

Cons:

No cons

Other Thoughts:

The course keeps getting better and better with new sign and lost disc box, score cards and regular course maintenance and improvements.

Unique course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 8, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Water
-Challenging pin placements
-Unique course
-Awesome layout for available land

Cons:

-Water
-Limited creek crossing areas as of current review
-Wind can make a huge effect on score

Other Thoughts:

Great new course! Once there are bridges and signage (coming very soon) this will be a 4 out of 5 course... in current condition, it is around a 3.5 out of 5.. I am rating this course for what it will be by summer since it was just installed a month ago. Lots of OB and Water.. very challenging for all skill levels. Lots of fun for everyone!

fast, fun, challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 3, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Holes use scarce obstacles well.

Signs at each tee pad have accurate distances.

Discatcher baskets.

Lost and found box for lost discs.

Cons:

No bridges for over water.

Lack of trees and hills leaves the course vulnerable to gusting winds.

Other Thoughts:

One of the best courses in the area. Once bridges are added to cross the creek that splits the course it will become safer and more navigable.
