(REVISED) The scenery at the Johnson University - Field course is gorgeous and green - rolling hills dotted with mature trees and manicured landscapes.

And the course makes good use of the hills on several holes, as nearly every hole includes at least a small change in elevation. On Hole #6, the basket is perched atop a hill, while Hole #7 requires devising a route around several large trees toward the valley.

The course that was without teepads or even tee area indicators when I last played it five years ago has been transformed with the addition of concrete teepads. There's also been a change to a couple of the holes -- Hole #5 is an awesome par-4 downhill bomber throw with trees (and a pond beyond) on the left side.

The targets have been upgraded to Patriot baskets.

Navigation can be a bit tricky, as several of the baskets aren't visible when teeing off.

Most of the holes are fairly wide open. Only Holes #6 through #8 have significant trees en route to the basket.

There's a bit of construction on campus that comes into play on Holes #2 and #9.

Also, the concrete tee areas for the first two holes are still in progress. The wood framing is there but they're not complete.

The improvements at Johnson University - Field have prompted me to increase the rating from a 1.0 to a 2.0. The rolling hills create some good hole dynamics.
