...Crickets Chirping... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 29, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course offers great training for windy conditions, as at least 75% of the time that I am there it is over +10 mph wind. some time over 25 mph wind.

It offers newer players a great exposure to the game with plenty of distance to expand thier driving game. I know it did for me, as my most experience coming to it was no wind and all technical wooded shots.

Again, a new tihng to me was the elevation changes that the course offers.

Cons:

If you are a well experienced player who can crush the drives, then you will be driving with a mid range on 50% of this course. Who knows, that may be a good practice op for you.

other than woods and pathways, there are no other obstacles causing OB (water).

Would eventually like to see either alternate pin locations, or short tees (which will be hard to place on some. Some may need to have longer ones placed instead.).

Other Thoughts:

Fav holes: 1,3,8,9,12,14,17.

I too would like to someday see 9 more holes added to it. Possibly for all the long bombers, have them all longer for a 9 hole section of grip it and rip its.
