2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I love the fact that shot placement is very important. Sometimes you have to play the design, not the distance. The holes are mostly easy to follow, but I am sure they are working on signage, as the posts are already in (most WITH bag hangers!).
The way the course is looking is great! Kudos to the people doing the paths and stone gardens!
Early morning rounds have many deer, squirrels, and some hawks.

Cons:

Water through the course can be an issue after heavy rains. Rocky terrain mixed with ferns now so WATCH YOUR DISC LANDING!! You don't want to spend a lot of time looking for a disc, that you will find...eventually, lol!

Other Thoughts:

I really like this course.

Two rounds at Linesville 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A Challenging course for AM2 and AM1 (for record I'm AM2). Concrete pads on most holes, ones without have the frame in place to put in, so I expect the next time I get up in this area to play (and I will definitely go here), that they would be completed.

Next tee arrows clearly visible and course was easy to navigate.

Cons:

Lack of tee signs or course map are the only things that instantly pop into my head.

Would have liked to have a shot over the pond.

Couple holes are next to the highway, not really a concern for me but maybe off putting to some. Thought it needed to be mentioned.

Other Thoughts:

After almost tee'ing off on one to the wrong basket, I finally figured out which basket was for one. The first three holes give you a false sense of how this course is. After 3 holes and being -3 I thought this was going to be a pitch and putt course.

I was dead wrong.

Once you get into the wooded area this course shines. Each hole gets progressively harder and longer. I had to really shape some shots to make par.

I would have liked to given this course a 4 star, but I think it needs to grow a little bit. Tee signs and a course map would really help out. I enjoyed this course so much that I immediately played a second round and better my score by 5 strokes.

Looking forward to playing this again.

Line 'Em Up 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 23, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 concrete tees (looks like they will all be concrete) and single bright orange Mach V baskets. Course is pretty easy to navigate with directional arrows on baskets and tees not too far away. This is a solid intermediate to advanced level course playing through some heavy woods, moderately hilly and rocky terrain with a mix of short to long par 3s. Nice use of the elevation and natural rock features and pond/creek. Course loops back to the starting area after hole 8. Portapotty in the parking lot.

Cons:

There is little tee signage currently although I'd expect that to be in the works soon. The terrain is fairly rocky and wet in lower places. Some of the holes are a bit short and play a little close together. The highway is right next to the course and a little distracting, but not a big deal.

Other Thoughts:

Overall Linesville is a fun little wooded and hilly technical course. The holes seemed to progress in length and toughness as you go through the round except for the last two holes. Hole 1 is fairly short but there's a gap to hit and creek to cross and pond to the left of the basket. At first glance I thought nothing of this hole, but when I went to putt I realized there is water hazard not that far from it. Hole 2 is another short flat semi-open hole with the basket hard to the left. Hole 3 is the most open hole, but the basket is right on the edge of the pond, I puckered up and threw my putter drive way short. Hole 4 then takes you into the rolling rocky terrain and heavy woods and starts to lengthen up. The back 10 holes were my favorite except for 17 and 18. There are some fantastic wooded par 3 holes. It would awesome if hole 17 could be made longer, possibly dogleg right down 18's fairway. The grand finale to this slight design change would then be to tee from in the elevated woods down into the open with the basket by the pond!

Great new course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 9, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great course to test your skill shots... Tightly wooded but good lines to hit. It's already a good course and it's relatively new. The guy running the place takes great care of it and it's only going to get better than it already is

Cons:

Only thing I can think of is the interstate runs right next to the course and it can be really loud at times. But beggers can't be choosers, gotta build these courses any where you can

Pros:

Nice teepads
Great baskets
Cool walkways, bridges, and rock/wood landscaping
Benches on select holes
Plenty of parking

Navigation is pretty simple

Cons:

Interstate is pretty loud on a few holes

Drainage can be an issue, but there are bridges/walkways
Hole 4 is a bit unfair from the teebox

Other Thoughts:

Overall, this is a really fun course and it's evident the designers and club have put a ton of effort into transforming this course into a must play.

Accuracy is a must to go low 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 16, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Located in a small community park, overall it's wooded, tight and technical.
New Mach 5's and Innova targets. Most of the tees are concrete, the others are crushed stone. (course still under construction)
Next tee arrows guide you throughout the course.
Good use of elevation changes, creating fast greens and tricky putting situations.
Portable toilets. Plenty of parking
conveniently located near route 80.

Although the course is relatively short its by no means a birdie fest. Good tough design.

Cons:

At the time I played not all the tees were complete with concrete however they are still playable and consisted of crushed stone.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a nice addition to the surrounding course portfolio.
Very fun to play, it will reward the accurate player and punish you if your having a bad day. Most of the holes are on the shorter side so recovering from a bad tee shot isn't out of the question.
The course is new eventually will be one of the better courses in the area. The people who are building it are doing good things, keep up the good work.
