Solid, but not epic 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Absolutely beautiful park. Rolling Pines is a very fitting name with plenty of elevation changes that are used well throughout the course. Very good signage and an easy course to navigate. You're provided a decent variety of shots so it's not repetitive hole after hole. I love courses that aren't heavy on one type of disc for tee shots and this is a course that will have you reaching for drivers, mids and putters for tee shots. Nice concrete pads with plenty of run up room and they provide a good pivot on your drive.

Cons:

Safety wise, the pads are slippery when wet, which hey, that can happen anywhere. My two biggest cons with the course are a lack of one or two signature holes and some tweener holes that would be almost impossible for a sub 990 rated player to get.

Like I said earlier, there's not a lot of repetition so you don't get bored, but nothing really stands out to you either besides the beauty of the park. I believe it's hole 15 to 16 where you pass a water treatment plant which does welcome an unpleasant smell for a few holes. Hole 5 had a few late trees that can ruin a great shot. I'm not saying greens should be naked, but if you throw a perfect shot off the box you shouldn't be punished when approaching the green by a late pointless tree.

Going to my other con, some of these pars are ridiculous. A 475ft par 3 that is uphill and lined with OB is impossible for some players to get. I understand this course is designed for advanced players but you're still going to have players of all skill levels playing and this will frustrate a lot of them.

One more thing I've been told, not sure if this is true or not, but supposedly the park is used 3 to 5 days out of the year for a big camping/festival gathering and that the course would be closed during that period. Not a major thing obviously, but still, if you were traveling to play the course and didn't know it was closed.

Other Thoughts:

Rolling Pines is in decent range of some other good courses in the area such as Highland Hills and Fort Hamby. One pretty cool thing is that there are water stations all over the course where you can refill water bottles or clean off some dirty discs.

Long tees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 2, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee pads, tee signs, directional arrows, multiple water spickets,

Cons:

Limited parking, multiple holes play side by side causing fairways to "intermingle". This will become a larger issue with tournament play or very busy times. Also multiple basket/ next tee pads are little close for comfort.

Other Thoughts:

all in all this a wonderful casual play course! Many great holes that challenge you off the tee (distance wise). This is not a pitch and put course. If you can't drive 350+ consistently and accurately you will not come home with many birdies. With that said the recreational/intermediate/and many advanced players will have an extremely hard time finishing at par. On that note a good # of holes are par-ed on the extreme high end of the standard scale. In other words there are many par 3.75 holes. Do not!!!!!! Go off the fairway!!!!! Steep or should I say cliffs. One ridge hole comes to mind 3 of the 4 in my group just barley creeped 1 ft out of site on the edge of the fairway with their drive. All 3 were 100ft plus 90degrees straight down!!! To close this is a great course, scenic walk and a must play when in the area. The challenge of the holes are in driving distance not hole design. This course is close to a 4 rating but the basic RHBH design, dangerously close basket to tee areas and multiple holes where arrant shots are a danger to players on other holes keep it at a 3.5 for me.
