So much hate, Why? 2+ years

Pros:
- Great utilization of the terrain.
- Nice concrete tees with tee signs forthcoming.
- Good use of water with only a couple spots that border unfair with roll away potential (hard to avoid given nature of hills bordering waterway).
- Amazing variety of shot types.
- Finally the local club has been giving this course some TLC (last two years it's hosted club final) since the college only seems to have a fleeting interest.
- Multiple pins make for any number of layouts.
- Back loop of holes 13-16 in the woods are finally getting beat down (with annual help from the club) to make them much more fair and fun.
- There's a bar and burger joint at the parking area. Beer and grub after a round (need I say more).
- Often few pedestrians (save during school days when warm) and less traffic than other area courses as it has gotten a bad rap (fine for me, less waiting on groups the better).

Cons:
- Highway noise is loud on a couple holes and makes for an eyesore.
- Navigation is tough w/o a map or seasoned guide.
- Roll away to water possible on a few holes.
- Very wet/buggy after rain and overgrown in summer as schools out and the grounds crew get more lax (best played in early/late winter or early spring when ground is still frozen nightly).
- Few holes have strong leaf litter in the fall adding to disc loss potential.

Other Thoughts:
If you gave this course a shot before and disliked it print a map and give it another go, promise its much improved and seemingly ever improving.

Pros:
Played this course over the week-end. it has been a dry Summer, so none of the swampy conditions that I've seen discussed in other reviews were present. I really liked this course and really can't understand the overall rating of less than 3.
- Great Concrete Tees
- Lots of Risk/Reward
- Tremendous Use of Available land
- Wooded Holes, Semi-Open Holes, and a Few Bomber Holes
- Requires Many Different Shots
- Well-Maintained
- Multiple Baskets on Every Hole (Yellow Baskets - Short but Offered Me Plenty of Challenge, Black Baskets - Really Test Your Game)

Cons:
- Layout is Confusing in Spots (Need Map the First Time)
- Highway is Close but Only Really Distracting on a Few Holes
- Tee Signs

Other Thoughts:
I like this course much better than Chili (played both for the first time over the weekend), this offers much more variety and interesting holes. I'll be back.
