Pros:
This course has a great lay out and is spread over a very vast area.
Holes are decently spaced out. Very good for an experienced player.
Grass is kept short and clean.

Cons:
This course is incomplete. There are no real tee makers, just a quick diagram written in sharpie.
You have to play alongside a creek for most of the holes. The creek has only one bridge and is located closer the the end of 5 and start of 6.
The creek is dry but there is tall grass/weeds on either side of the creek so its difficult to cross.
It seems like they intended on building bridges to cross from hole to hole but never completed the project. (see course description below)

Other Thoughts:
Hole one is straight out in the open, then you have to walk back close to the first tee box to tee off on hole 2.
Hole 2 drops down a hill that is covered in downed trees and broken limbs. This is a rough terrain.
Hole 3 comes back up the hill on similar terrain. Then you cross the road for hole number 4.
Hole 4 is a good distance down hill and has a few trees for added difficulty.
Hole 5 is directly west of hole 4 but is located across a creek which only has one bridge crossing it. You are forced to walk past the whole hole and back in order to play it. Hole 6 is located back on the other side of the creek and plays over the creek. You are again forced to walk over the bridge again to play through the hole. (which is no big deal on this hole)
Hole 7 plays down along the creek bed but hole 8 is located on the other side of the creek. If you don't want to go through the creek you are forced to walk all the way back past 7 and past 6 all the way back around to 8. 8 is a very long distance and plays along the creek again.
9 plays up the hill and is a very challenging hole.
By the time we got through with the front 9 we were too exhausted to continue.
I think the course has great potential but it really needs course markers and a few bridges. It also wouldn't hurt to cut down the tall grass on either side of the creek.
