- this course is long. One of the few 600' holes in the Triangle. Only two homes under 300'. It's challenging - 6 of the 9 holes are wooded, technical holes.
- this is not a beginner course. It's tight and long.
- very nice signage. Easy to navigate (even though there are some cross-overs and transitions)
- this course (as played) was "ready for open". Tee boxes with landscape timber, transition paths defined by downed tree trunks.
- turf practice basket - how cool is that?

- only 9 holes. For me the question is play here, or drive a different direction and play an 18 that may not be quite as challenging, but get 18 holes. Don't know if they can squeeze another 9 out of the property.
- the landscaping is a little "rough" (meaning muddy, looking like a construction site). Since this has not been open a growing season, it's not a fair criticism. Hopefully, after things start growing, it will fill in a little. Am concerned how the rough will grow on hole 2.
- not easy to get to - stuck in the middle of suburbia!

I checked out this course, since it's probably the second closest to where I live. It's a nice little course. If there were no other options, it would be great. My time is limited, and I don't know if I see myself here a lot. I think the "signature" hole on this course is the putting green. Actually, 9 is pretty intimidating hole - (harder then Buckhorn 17 IMO) don't know if the pond is high right now, but it's a tunnel shot water carry of ~250'. I played the alt tee - didn't feel like swimming (am guessing that pond will be pretty nasty when it's 90 out....). If there were 18 holes, I'd give it a solid 3. Maybe as the course gets worn in a little, and if the city keeps mulching and maintaining I could go as high as a 3.5. There are definitely worse courses in the Triangle. If you're into playing new courses hit this one up and judge for yourself!
