The best H.S. course I've seen so far 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays along the south side of the high school. Hole 1 is right by the southwest corner of the school. The tee pads are gravel and were in pretty good shape. These were good enough for most part. The signs are basic. They have a simple hole layout, par, hole #, and distance on each. The baskets are Mach 5's that are in excellent shape and catch nice. The flow from hole to hole is easy to figure out too. There is quite a bit of elevation here which is used fantastically. There are fun and challenging up and downhill shots throughout. They do a good job incorporating some of the wooded areas to make for some different types of shots. The wind can be a major factor since most of the course is wide open. The course was very well mowed and maintained.

Cons:

It is a school course so it wouldn't be playable during school hours. The gravel tees weren't in the best shape and these will only get worse over time. A few of the areas look like they could get swampy after rains, especially at the bottom of the bowl. there really aren't any real long bomber holes and it would be nice to see the woods used a little more.

Other Thoughts:

All in all this is by far the best high school course I've played to date. Most are not very well thought out. This one however was designed very well. It's excellent for a school course but overall a decent/typical course. If you're nearby check it out. It'd be a nice tune up for Grignon park which is only a few minutes away.

Pros:

very quiet course with a couple fun/unique holes. The course is not too challenging but is still a fun round. Baskets are up year round.

#1 - Simple and short down hill hole.
#2 - Short blind uphill shot with a small but dense marsh on the left.
#3 - Tough hole just tucked into the woods with a rather small opening.
#4 - Another easy short down hill shot.
#5 - Short straight and open (nothing special).
#6 - Uphill dogleg left.
#7 - Slightly downhill anhyzer that's pretty open.
#8 - Fun uphill tunnel shot that opens up at the top of the hill.
#9 - Challenging shot that will have you second or third guessing how to play it (through the alley, big hyzer or big anhyzer)

Cons:

Not much need for drivers on this course.
Teepads are all gravel.
Can't play during school hours.

Other Thoughts:

The dificulty of this course can be increased using a little creativity. As TallPaul said playing backward basket to basket may be an option. Also playing forward basket to basket helps on a number of holes as well.
