Crazy Layout 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 18, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great place for opening up for long throws.

Cons:

Quite possibly the worst example of course layout and signage on the face of the earth, including courses with no signage!

Other Thoughts:

As I played the course, I found the first tee and played the first hole. Then I started to look for the second tee. And I looked and I looked. I found the third tee, the ninth tee,and eventually I found the second tee, by walking backward. Note that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd holes are on top of each other. Fast forward to the 4th tee. 900+ feet. I throw the wrong direction. Hmmm, this hole isn't 900 feet. Back to the 4th tee and shoot the other direction. After holing it, I walk back toward the 4th tee and stumble across the 5th tee. Which has no usuable information, other than it is 500 feet to the hole. Must have been that hole I was aiming for for the 4th. Seems longer than 500 feet, but what do I know? I hole it, then start looking for hole 6, and look. and look. and look. Eventually I find the tee for hole 7. Play that, and on the way, I see the tee for hole 8. I play hole 8 (I think) then I start walking toward 9. I notice a sign which turns out to be hole 6 behind the one room school. I turns out that I shot the 6 hole when shooting from the 8th tee, and the 8th hole when shooting from the 5th tee. Note that none of the holes have numbers on them at all. I never put a disc into the 5th hole. This course REALLY needs a map available and meaningful signage.
