Great layout but major drainage problems 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a great layout. Mostly a typical wooded NC course, but it has some open holes too. Water comes into play on a couple of holes, but is mostly avoidable if you're careful and use the alternate tee #9.

This course has by far the best warmup putting green I've ever seen. The artificial turf green near the playground is great.

The layout is also quite difficult. I didn't have a very good round as I was missing my lines all day. Lots of trees make you hit your lines. I also struggled some due to footing issues on the very wet holes on the back 9.

Cons:

The big con is the drainage issues on the back nine. We had some pretty good rain 2 or 3 days before we played the course...and water was still literally flowing over one of the sidewalks. A couple of holes on the back nine were almost unplayable due to standing (and flowing) water in the fairways. It's really a shame as it negatively impacted our impression of the course.

I also wish the first few holes didn't play so close to the road into the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

I wanted to love this course, but the drainage issues on the back nine really soured the experience for our group.

I will say that there are multiple holes on this course that are memorable, unlike some other courses I've played.

Hole 9 with the water is very memorable. We saw a couple wading in the pond that told us they pulled over 100 discs out one day!

The 11th hole is probably hated by many. It is a short, straight par 3, but it has a narrow fairway with water all along the left side. Lots of risk/reward there.

17 is a gorgeous drop-off from an elevated tee. Just a beautiful hole.

We had a good time even though there were some issue. We will definitely give this course another shot in the near future.
