Great smalltown course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Beautiful scenery, excellent shot variety. Short holes, longer holes, uses elevation well.
The pond hazard was used well, not too close but not too far away.
Information booth was well-stocked with scorecards. Description of the hole at each tee was very clear and helpful with distances, hazards, and par marked.

Cons:

A few holes are very short - under 200 ft. It makes the course go by too fast!

Other Thoughts:

Some of the shots thrown over the water would be very difficult for a beginning player who can't throw 150 ft consistently. These hazard shots were always by the tee, but would be intimidating for weaker armed players. There are alternate tees for all the over-water shots, but oddly on #3, it is further back another 75 feet!

All in all, an excellent course with beautiful scenery.
