Very relaxing course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 25, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

You have the whole course to yourself, nobody is ever throwing there.
Short but very technical holes through woods.
Nice and quiet.
You won't need to lug your whole bag, leave your drivers behind.
Each hole now has a tee sign with the footage to each basket.
All holes except #1, #2 and #4 have a nice big stump at the tee area to rest your bag on or sit on.
Holes #2, #3, #4 and #6 have been cleaned up and are much more beginner friendly while also opening up possible ace runs.
Many of the low hanging branches near the basket on #3 have been removed. Hole #3 also has a new sign next to Hole #2 basket which allows for a safer tee box throw towards basket #3 if you don't want to throw over the water from the regular tee.
Hole #4 has been extensively reworked and now has a Hyzer line so you don't HAVE to throw through that tiny gap of two trees over the creek.
Hole #6 has been cleaned up and you can now try an Anny, go straight or throw a Hyzer line.
If you are in a hurry you could easily play 9 holes in about 20 minutes.

Cons:

Can be kinda muddy at the bottom of Hole #5 at times.
Lots of dog walkers around dinner time.

Other Thoughts:

Personally, I love this course. No one is ever playing there so it's very relaxing. No need to rush like when you're at Basil because there's always somebody behind you there it seems. The only way to get a good score is to really make some technical shots which will only help your game when you play other wooded courses. Selfishly I kind of hope it stays a hidden gem.
