Great Potential but Incomplete 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 16, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This could be a great course. The first 8 holes are long and open. Then come some technical shots in the woods - some of them still long with OB water. Some of the fairways have nice (sponsored) concrete tees. Most have alternate tees. Some have nice tee signs. And some directional signs are very helpful.

Cons:

On the other hand, some directional signs point to the wrong holes and many more are needed. There is no course map, and many tees are not marked. One tee will be concrete on a defined fairway. For the next shot you may have to just look for a worn patch on the ground and guess where to throw. What tee signs there are seem to be in conflict - at least three tee signs were marked as hole number 4. (Though I believe the baskets were all accurately marked.) The course crosses several paved roads and some railroad tracks.

As to the holes themselves, they are long and flat - which can be fun. But it means that recovery shots are easy. The course has some added artificial elevation, which helps, but in general it is short on risk/reward decisions, tricky shots, or significant challenges other than distance. You will not need most of the shots or discs in your bag.

Other Thoughts:

If you like to air out your discs and have a local guide, this could be a fun course. I drove down to play the course because it is highly rated, but in it's present condition, this course is not worth the drive. Without a guide, it is very frustrating. Once the directional signs, tee signs, and tees are all in place, this could be an enjoyable outing with moderate challenges.
