Fun Little Private 9 Hole Course! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Redbone Road DGC is easy to locate as you are driving down Redbone Road. You'll see two baskets out near the road. The course plays around the owner's house and then out behind his house in a very hilly area complete with a small, murky looking pond. The course features two sets of tees marked by small poles with he hole # and distance and a very crude route. There really aren't any tee pads but it didn't seem to pose much of a problem. The baskets are a mixed breed of about 3-4 different models, some single chain and the very solid looking, green basket on # 7, which I think is a very well made homemade model.

From the orange/yellow long tees, the course plays 1787' with five holes over 200' and four under 200'. The short tees are sub 200'. The course is recreational in length but tight and technical in places. The murky pond could come into play on 5 & 6, most likely only with a bad kick off a tree. # 7 is somewhat scary with a steep 25' drop on your right and a more manageable 10-15' drop off on your left.

# 2 is the best hole here playing 207' over a gully with a fairly tight window. It's a very pretty hole and challenges your accuracy.

There are small benches on many holes and some garbage cans.

I don't see this course being beginner friendly at all. It's too technical with some tiny fairways and the pond and deep gorges on four holes. It's great fun for recreational players but probably too short and easy for anyone intermediate and above.

Cons:

Hodgepodge of baskets, some of which aren't the best models.

Recreational distances with only one hole longer than 250'.

Natural pads aren't the best.

I found the navigation a little confusing and a couple times wasn't sure which basket I was throwing to. I would do better the second time through.

Other Thoughts:

If this course had a couple more ratings, it would rank as the fifth best 9 hole course in America. While I liked it and thought it was a enjoyable round, it doesn't belong in that lofty company. # 2 is a fun hole. A couple of others have a little pucker element to them but the rest are pretty pedestrian. With no tee pads, a mixture of single chain, homemade and other baskets, and recreational distances, Redbone Road, while good fun, is basically an average course.

Thanks to the owner for creating Redbone Road and allowing us to play your course. I liked it and would play it often if I was a local.
