Other Thoughts:
I had high hopes for this course. I read the reviews on here before I left and felt that this course was worth giving a shot. I was really disappointed.
The first few holes were great, but the grass between the tee and the basket was not cut; as high as six feet in some places, and full of small blackberry shoots. The terrane of the first two holes is flat, open field with a few trees. At tee three, large blackberry bushes dot the landscape, but with a clear shot to the basket. Tee four, the blackberry bushes and trees begin to thicken and makes it challenging to get a clear shot to the basket. Tee five shoots off of a ravine and the basket is off to the left behind the trees (not visible from tee). The path going down the slope into the ravine below is very steep. It looks like at one time, there were stairs carved into the dirt and gravel put down, but the stairs have mostly eroded away and is mostly dirt with a few rocks that help somewhat with traction. On a wet, rainy day, this would be nearly impossible to traverse without injury.
Tees 6, 7, 8, and 9 are in a densely wooded area with lots of briers along the path. If your disc is not perfectly shot, you will lose it in the briers, unless you have a machete with you to cut your way to your lost disc. Tee 8 is very confusing. No sign posted here, except for a tree painted with a big number 8 on it with an arrow pointing to the left. Follow the path up to the left and go up the ridge. There is a tiny sign with the number eight on it, but you don't even know it is the tee. There is no concrete pad on here and no direction to the basket. Hole eight is behind you down the hill towards the water. Not well thought out here. Tee 9 is the last shot in the wooded area and have to shoot up a 30 to 40 foot hill towards the end of the fairway. The basket is just over the ridge.
The back 9 are pretty awful as well. Hard to find out where the tees are, no signage, and is very easy to shoot for the wrong basket. Since there is a lack of signage, some of the trees have the tee number painted on them, so watch out for any indication as to where the tee is.
In conclusion, this course is defintely not very well thought out and does not appear to be maintained on a regular basis. Grass is long and full of stickers, thistles, and blackberry shoots. the overall quality of this course is dismal to say the least. Over half of the course sits on land slated for development in the future. The course is full of blackberry bushes, especially from holes 5 through 18, lightening up a bit on the last few holes, so do not wear shorts on this course. Probably would be helpful to where leather boots, shin pads, and a thick, long sleeve shirt, especially if your disc lands on either side of the narrow fairways. My recommendation is to find another course and skip this one altogether.
