- This is more of a technical course. Accuracy is more important than muscle. There are a lot of trees to hit. If you find yourself out of the lane the challenge increases significantly. I have been able to do each of the holes in two shots except 5 and 6, but don't be fooled by the short distances, there are plenty of obstacles to make things go awry.

- The tee pads are made of cement tiles with a line of bricks at the end in the direction of the basket to indicate which way to throw. They seem to work well (at least until the roots of trees cause them to buckle). There are also tee signs and benches at each hole. The first hole has score cards (if stocked) and the only waste basket.

- It is a private park so it is rarely busy except on tournament days.

- This course is short and emphasizes control over distance. You can pretty much leave your drivers at home. There are no wide open, "let it rip", holes. This might disappoint the power players.

- The course is located near swamps. This is mostly an issue with hole 5 where it is easy to land your disc in the swamp on either side of the lane and recovery can be quite difficult, particularly in the spring when there is quite a bit of water.

- The mosquitoes are horrible. Make sure you use the strongest repellent available and I would recommend a cap. This seems to have diminished this fall since some of the swamps have dried up.

- Some of the rough is filled with sticker bushes and it's not always obvious until it's too late.

- Following the course is pretty intuitive, but finding hole 5 can be a little tricky. A small sign or two would be useful to indicate the correct path.

- This course could be a little frustrating for beginners. There are just too many trees to hit. Fortunately, none of the holes are very long and it is not necessary to be able to throw long distances.

- You have to know a Sandy Pines member to get into the park to play.

- There are only nine holes.

- The designers did a very good job with the property they were given to work with. There are no "stand out" holes, but the landscape features that exist are used well. Hole 9 is up on a short cliff and you have the choice of going through the tunnel of trees or around. Some of the other holes are on slopes that can easily make your disc roll away. All of the holes have trees that can be a game changer each time you play. There are holes that require right or left hand turns. It seems pretty balanced. If anything, it favors a right handed, backhand player, but not by much.

- Since there are only nine holes and none of them are extraordinarily special I wouldn't go too far out of my way to play this course. However, if you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to give it a try. I am finding it both fun and challenging to play. It is certainly helping me improve my control game.

- Good design, great use of trees
- Nice benches to sit at and very well made signs and pad
- Good distance at hole 5. It seemed longer than 336ft.
- Not much else to say about course

- Could use some clearing. Paths were a little difficult to navigate to holes
- Between hole 4 and 5 you have to make a huge U-turn but you'll find the hole
- Lots of sap on the ground
- Signs don't display shape of hole well. I think even at hole 7 it curved differently then how the picture showed it

Overall, not a horrible course. There is lots of room for improvements (hole 4 and 5 could use a bridge between them) as well as some good keeping up of the course. I enjoyed it but it again could use work. As well as the length of this review, there wasn't a hole lot that stood out as key components that would make this an amazing course but there were also not a lot to make this a horrible course. It was just an average, playable course.
