Pros:
Mix of woods and open, with holes ranging in length from 200 to 900 feet. Nice scenic views of the river on some of the wooded holes, and water can come into play. The open holes have defined fairways with lots of OB stakes (like in real golf.)
*Update- most of the wooded holes have matured nicely in the past 2 years to what one would expect a technical woods course to be.
Cons:
Wooded holes had narrow blind fairways and ma couple actually lacked fairways, and not just because of trees but from very high, deep rough stretching all the way across from tee to basket. Nettles abound everywhere, everytime you get your disc out of the rough your legs and hands sting for several minutes. (I hope with more traffic over time and some weed eaters this will improve.) We started sending spotters down the hole to see where drives landed because wondering through the stinging nettles started to become painful.
*Update- I played again in the winter, and the thick undergrowth was not there, but it looks like it would be in the summer. Only #17 still lacks a fairway- close your eyes and hope for the best.
The tee signs are nice, but are on large "t" shaped posts in front of the teepads. Some are close enough they almost become an obstacle (at least a mental one!!!) I prefer my signs behind the tee.
*Update- Many of these nice tee signs are gone. The distance and mandos are "drawn" on the teepad.
*Update- I prefer Machs over Discatchers personally, but this is one course that needs those yellow bands. Many of the woods holes are blind, or at least have baskets behind trees. The open holes are very long and make it difficult to see the basket from the tee (especially if you long range vision is not perfect.) There are also lots of other objects (posts, stakes, exercise trails, running signs, etc.) that cause the baskets to blend in. I would also like to see a couple of next tee signs added. Where the course crosses itself can be a little confusing. Take a good look at the map, and you won't have problems, but you literally step over 11's tee (with no sign) to get to #3.
The course was not flooded when I played it, but I could see how half the course could be unplayable after a heavy rain.
Other Thoughts:
Keep in mind that this is a new[er] course. With a little more work and fine tuning, and some time for the newly planted trees to grow on the open holes this could be a really good course.
*Update- The trees on the long open holes are still little and have no impact. These holes are just very long and very wide with no obstacles at all. If you like to bomb it, here is your chance, but I find these holes to be boring and not much in the way of risk/reward.
*I feel like this course is now closer to a 3.0, but it still needs some work and more time. I also want to see what it is like in the full bloom of summer.
