Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 13, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Teepads--all concrete, some are short but these are on shorter holes that don't require much of a run-up. nice and gnurled (textured) and grippy!

Nav/Signs--Because this course intertwines with Beast finding out which basket to throw to is challenging sometimes. Possible solution would be to mark the fairways with ribbons or to paint the trees? 16 is a good example of not knowing where the hell to throw, I believe 5 (?) is another...

Baskets--All in great condition, nice and grabby

Aesthetic--Beautiful locale (much like beauty and beast) constant views of Lake Michigan and the retention pond.

Challenge factor--there are some truly INSANE LINES out here... coming to mind are 16 which would require a MASSIVE turnover to get this onto the fairway.

Nav/signage--There is good and bad on this. Navigation is easy and paths are marked. However, the signage leaves some to be desired. some of the signs just give the hole name and distance others have a picture of where the pin is (helpful) and some have nothing because the wind or someone has ripped them off.

Workout--This course is a helluva workout. enough elevation change to keep your heart pumping the entire round.

Risk/reward--not a ton as there's no water, but enough to keep it exciting with decent rollaway potential.

Cons:

only potential flaw is the intertwining with beast and having to watch out for other discers, but this isn't normally an issue.

Other Thoughts:

I can't quit thinking about this course. I may be addicted but it's so far away!

This is BY FAR the best course at this complex, IMHO.
