Pros:

Could be a fun little course. Should be an asset to the area. Could-a-should-a. Not many positives to say about North Eco in its current disused state.

Cons:

Ferns, stickers and overgrown bushes everywhere. Use a spotter for nearly every drive and don't throw beloved discs at all.

Could be nice with some major work. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Enough land for a short 18 hole course in an area that could use one, also the area is very light on foot traffic.
There is a good mixture of technical wooded and open holes available with some course redesign.

Cons:

A lot, read most, of the fairways or either overgrow or non-existent.
Easy to get lost finding the next tee pad.

Other Thoughts:

This course needs a could overhaul to improve flow and layout. Fairways need to be properly cleared and maintained. Thorns along the rough need to be removed and/or trimmed. It certainly has potential and could make a very nice course in that area.

Needs care 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Location. I'm occasionally in the area, so nice to have a course this way.
Not crowded. Not a 'bring the family' course.
Layout. Interesting, tight lines on the holes I was able to play.

Cons:

Location. Proximity to water will keep this course muddy, damp, and overgrown.
Foliage. Nettles and blackberries galore. It is annoying enough to have to dog through brush for discs on the fairway (or where the fairway should be). It is hazardous to comb through man-eating plants while doing so.
Grooming. Most holes will require constant trimming with the nearby water and hazardous nature of plant species. Without, the course will be simply unplayable.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a very ambitious effort to turn a very wet, overgrown, nettle and blackberry ridden environment into a decent course. While I think it is possible, it will require a lot more clearing and constant maintenance to keep it playable. As it is, I wouldn't play it again.
