Log Cabin Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- nicely landscaped college campus setting
- gently rolling hills throughout
- mowed grass fairways; no shule, weeds or stickers
- authentic log cabins and giant old oaks all about
- lots of long, wide open holes if you want to air it out
- no crowds or conflicts with other activities

Cons:

- no tee pads or signage
- map is required for navigation
- very repetitive, basically the same hole 18x over
- very little shade; beware during hot weather

Other Thoughts:

The Log Cabin course at Berry College is more challenging than most college campus courses I have played simply because of the length. There were several 500+ holes and a few appeared to be 600+ even though this is not reflected on the score card. Perhaps my tee pad placements were longer than what was shown on the map? Plus, the course is really spread out--standing on hole #1 you can see all the way to hole #6 and it must be close to 3/4 mile in length. Be prepared for a bit of walking! I wondered about one of the photos online showing deer all over the place, and sure enough there were wild deer roaming an open field adjacent to the course on the morning I played. I believe the course plays around the section of the campus for student or faculty housing, with beautiful landscaping and giant oak trees lining all of the roads. With all of this in mind, there really is nothing else the course has to offer. There are no tee pads, signs, benches or any other amenities--just 18 baskets and a map. I guesstimated the tee pad placement since there were not even any worn spots to indicate possible placement. You basically air it out, find an open spot past the basket and air it out again. Only a few holes actually have some of the trees in play; if you are looking to work on accuracy, this is not the place. If you want to work on your long game while playing a competitive round, come on down!

Open and Spacious 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 13, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very open and long course, and when I played on the weekend there was nobody around. The baskets are in great shape, and the whole course is well manicured. There are a few tough shots, a lot of birdie potentials and a few chances for an ace.

Cons:

Wow where to begin. We drove around for twenty minutes looking for the start of the course. The start location is not very clear From the course directions. I saw one hole that had any kind of semblance of a tee box, and that was just a worn area in the grass that pointed in the basic direction to the next basket. I didn't see any signage at the beginning to show a course map, or at any of the tees. There are no restrooms that I could find, and if you bring food or drink you will have to pack it out with you as well.

Other Thoughts:

A few simple markers to show where the tee's are would really help.

Log Cabin Berry 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 30, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beautiful course! Awesome wildlife throughout the course. Nice mixture of distances. Some nice downhill holes and with some tailwinds you can get some good distance. I have to say this is probably the most beautiful course I have played but there is a lot of potential for this course. If redesigned by someone who knows what they are doing could be an awesome course. Course goes through some of the on campus living which is pretty cool. It is also close to the Winshape course which is located on campus as well. Locals were very nice but clueless of any knowledge about the course. Since course is on campus im sure the grass is always well maintained.

Cons:

No maps, tee pads, and some of the older pins have little rust. No way to navigate this course unless you play with someone who has played this course several times. Myself and a friend basically made up our own tees and even played some holes out of order.

Other Thoughts:

With a map and some tee pads this course would be a lot of fun. Don't be scared to ask the locals, they are very nice but most of the people we asked didn't know anymore than we did.

Well its free 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very open space. Deer all over the place and used to people. Grass is well maintained.

Cons:

No clue without the map from the link page as to where to tee off and even then you are guessing. There is an attempt to rectify that with traffic cones and white spray paint in the grass but even that was off a bit.

Other Thoughts:

Hole #2 got me being that it was that long I lost my composure trying to throw it in two throws. I settled down into a normal throw and improved from there on out. #5 & #6 where my favorite layout.
