Pros:

½ mile from additional 12-basket course.

Cons:

Flow - very long walk, mostly consisting of fairway-4, from basket-9 to tee-10.

Other Thoughts:

Course plays in two sections - 1-3, 10 near the parking lot, and 4-9. The first section is open, grassy, land, containing scattered, tall hardwoods. The land slopes way from the parking lot, into a thick treeline of smaller trees, which the designer used well, tucking two baskets and one tee within them. In this section, there are random picnic tables and play areas - no idea how often they are used, but their occupants would come into play.

The second section is where you'll face your extremes - length (#4), cross-slope (#4, too), ups (#7), downs (#8), tight (again, #8), sharp turns (#9), and pondering (#6 - down the drainage ditch for how long, then enter the woods, where, exactly? A double S-turn - really!) That leaves poor old number-5 as a straightforward, 300', slightly upslope, subtle right-turner to be the only "normal" hole!

Favourite hole: #2. Nearly 500', you have a tight early exit, where things open up and scattered, tall hardwoods appear. The basket is far away, down and to the right, partially hidden by a slope. With the tall hardwoods sitting lower near the basket, from your elevated position their branches now come into play, forcing a tough approach shot.

If you like your courses on the long side, and mostly open, you'll enjoy playing here, with over half the holes >= 385', including 840' open number-4.

Not the typical 9 hole pitch and putt...not just because there are 10 baskets 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Lots of challenge in a 10 holer. Half of the holes are over 400 feet. Several legitimate par 4's. Do not come here expecting a quick 20 minute round. The 2 Mosquito courses together took me over 2 hours playing solo.

Tee posts help to find where tee marker is.

Course is deceiving in it's difficulty. Hole 1 looks wide open, but over the hill lies a tunnel you must hit. Hole 3 looks easy enough even from the approach, but there is a drop off after the basket, even if you hit the small window. Hole 4 was 840ft. for those who want to air out their drivers.
Some scenic areas. Baskets 3 and 9 were in attractive locations.
Small Water Hazard on hole 9 comes into play.

Maps available in office by hole 6.

Cons:

Tees are just colored toe boards flush with ground.

Some navigational issues around hole 7. I played tee 7 to basket 8, then had to go back after looking at the map again. (you get the map in the office by tee 6.)
Long walk back to hole 10 which felt like an after though. Hole 10 was an unnecessary add on that did not really add much to the flow of the course.

Baskets are unmarked, at hole 2 you can see hole 10's basket 90 feet away and it could be confusing.
I though fairway 4 was a bit too close to the main road for an 800+ foot hole, 6 has you play towards an office if you are trying to use the ditch as your fairway. Hole 7 has you throwing right back towards the office.

Other Thoughts:

21 pictures added so you can take a photo tour of the course.

This course is still in progress. It appears that tee signs are getting added and work is still being done on this course. However, even with tee signs and some "next tee" signs, I would still rate this at around 3.

Hole by hole:
1. 450 feet, open for over 350 feet then into a tunnel to the basket.
2. blind 485ft. split fairway over small rolling hills.
3. sharp dog leg right 235 feet into small opening. Basket on edge of mound.
4. 840 long bomb, highway on left OB on right.
5. Short 300ft. sharp right low ceiling.
6. 540 ditch appears to be fairway, but there is actually a hidden fairway in the trees. It pays to shank to the right on this hole.
7. Plays up the ditch back to the office. Dog leg left up hill 415ft.
8. relatively tight, wooded, slightly down hill tunnel 230ft.
9. Blind RHBH hyzer (dog leg right). basket in small window in a rock patch.
10. Back over the overflow near the start of the course. Plays 350 blind and down hill.
