Nicely designed course nestled in Northwoods 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Nice mix of long/short holes as well as wooded/open holes
-Utilizes the grounds of Rainy River Community College nicely, employing the flat and grassy terrain surrounding the college as well as a few holes in the woods
-Designed to be a challenge for intermediate and beginner players
-Correct signage with distances, looks professional
-Intuitive course layout for the most part though holes are often separated by trees
-Alternate tees that offer different looks at each basket, each tee is designated for different experience levels according to the PDGA guidelines

Cons:

-Course is mostly flat with few elevation changes
-Course has a few water holes, some of which will pose problems for beginners, bring a floating driver or mid-range
-Course is buggy some months of the summer, whether it be mosquitoes or ticks, bring bug-spray
-Course can be excessively/overly wet at times, bring rubber boots

Other Thoughts:

-Awesome elevated basket on hole #7! Signature hole? Maybe. How about hole #8? A 535 foot dog-leg left into the trees...
-Course has a lot of holes that are big anhyzer holes for RHBH, which is a nice break from the traditional RHBH hyzer layout that predominates most courses in MN

RRCC is a 12 hole course with 9 holes more or less open, and the final three holes are in the woods. First hole is located to the right of the main entrance to the college, just off the parking lot adjacent to the main entrance. SOURCE: http://www.rrcc.mnscu.edu/stu...f-course.html
