First time, disappointed 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice area around the lake, good spot for the woman to go for a walk while I play.

Cons:

Signage. Many of the tees don't have signs, and most of the baskets don't even have a sign to tell you where the next tee is. It's a hunting game to find out just where you need to go. On the tees that did have a sign, they outlined a "white" and a "yellow" basket. Being a beginner I opted for the white, to quickly find out they don't actually exist. Just an empty hole in the ground where a basket likely once was. Really the issue is signage.

Many holes are also awkward to play, more than once you end up playing along the side of a steep hill, which isn't very comfortable to walk.

Pros:

-Verriety of open and wooded holes.
-Open restrooms in the winter

Cons:

-6-8 are very soggy and there is no good place to easily cross the creek
-arrows at the bottom of the basket are not accurate

Other Thoughts:

The course is well taken care of. At the bottom of the baskets there are arrows that point to the long and short (gold and white) tee locations for the next hole. These are a great idea but they dont actually point to the next tee in most cases.(it took a while to fine the tee for 10-up the hill and across the road) There is some elevation change however many of the holes go along the hill not up and down. Hole 6 &7 are very soggy and it is quite cumbersome to get to once thrown over the creek. If there were a small foot bridge to cross it would help quite a bit.
