Pros:

The course itself is located in a beautiful backroads location completely secluded from everyone. As soon as you drive up to the course you'll think about how nice everything is and hole 1(on top of the mound) is so much different than all the other courses. Unfortunately, this impression gets interrupted.

-Looks great
-Few, if any, other players
-Unique Terrain
-Quality Baskets
-For beginner-amateur players
-Driving variety (Forehand+Backhand+Tomahawk)

Cons:

So while everything looks great and is created well, the New Market DGC has some EXTREME DOWNFALLS.

Hole 3, you have one of the farthest holes on the course (270ft?). The fairway is cut nice and neat so my friends and I try our best to stay on it. But we're not the best so of course it deviates and our discs all land up in the Long grass next to the cut fairway. The grass itself is itchy and weedy, so we try pulling our discs out as fast as possible. As we return to the fairway, one of us realizes they have a wood tick on them. And so begins the endless search of wood ticks on our legs, arms, etc.

-Wood Ticks are everywhere and in high quantity
-Poisonous plants in the long grass
-Water Hazard hole is too risky and if you throw your disc in there DO NOT GO IN THERE TO GET IT. LEECHES AND SEWAGE WATER INTAKE ARE NOT WORTH RETRIEVING YOUR DISC FOR.
-Long grass also takes forever to find discs(on top of the ticks and poisonous weeds)
-Some long holes and the tee setup can be a little confusing

Other Thoughts:

If the owner of the course is reading this-
You have made a spectacular course, but you need to handle all the weeds, long grass, wood ticks, and purify the pond on the water hazard hole.

If you are a typical Kenwood or Alimagnet player looking for something new- do not play this course until the wildlife has been dealt with.
