A good way to introduce beginers to woods (and PO) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Tight technical holes
-Good flow from hole to hole with signs leading you when there would be any question
-Multiple pin positions per hole
-Slightly more holes felt lefty favorable in the positions they were in.
-Good course for introducing beginners to playing in the woods, as the holes are short, but there are allot of trees.
-Nice drive down to Lake Mendocino South
-Lots of ace opportunities
-Maps / Scorecards available at the first tee, when I rolled up there was even a fresh cig sitting on top of the map box (but I don't smoke).
-Close to the lake, so you can go on down for a swim on a hot day.
-Cool in the shade
-Good elevation change

Cons:

-POISON OAK, it's EVERYWHERE, if you are allergic to it I would say avoid this course. You can tell that allot of work has been put in on taking it out already, but it is a nasty weed.
-Only 9 holes
-Short holes, all pretty easy, most if not all aceable
-Downhill holes feel way too short, I was overthrowing them badly with a putter. Best way to throw these holes seems to be to slide it down there.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun little 9 hole course that plays through the woods above the north end of Lake Mendocino. All the holes are very short, the longest was 267' in the A position, and 348' in B, the shortest was 162'A, 182'B and downhill. There was allot of poison oak around, I could see a little on hole 1 here and there, but it looked like there was allot of work put in to take it out, but by hole 2 there was lots of it in the fairways and under the basket. If you have bad allergies to poison oak avoid this course, if not you can have a fun little round up here either before you play the South course, or after for a cool down round. I almost aced hole 9, dinged right off the top. This is defiantly a beginner's course, I'm an am2 player and I scored a -5.
