Cons:
Tee signs not accurate (use a range finder and you will find some discrepancies 25+ feet)
Course design has an odd feel to it. There's a three hole stretch where it feels basic and boring. One hole is open and 170 feet or so, basket is raised on the side of a hill, but it doesn't fit with the theme of the course. The back 9 has some challenging holes with baskets well guarded.
My biggest con is the redesign. I feel it's going to be nightmare to maintain with the kudzu on the property.
Holes:
11: Blind tee shot over an area that has a good chance of getting overgrown. Basket is located in the middle of a bushy triangle.
12: Not a bad hole, but rough is bad and with trees to navigate toward the green there's that risk. Little pond area right of green. Good birdie chance.
13: Basket is in between a bunch of trees where it's almost in a cage of trees. I threw too straight last round, had a 70 foot upshot which I threw to 15 feet and I only had 1/3 of basket visible and missed putt. Not a fan of luck when it comes to being close to basket.

Other Thoughts:
I'm sure course will continue to evolve, getting tee signs accurate, controlling the rough, and tweaking some holes could make this a 4 star course. This course is worth playing, for there's a solid 12+ holes that are very good.
