Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Great mix of L-R (1,4,5), R-L (6,8) and straighter holes
Punishing(!) everywhere if you shank throws I.E. too high, too wide of anhyzer/hyzer
Control is more important than power here
Brush is becoming easier to navigate
not crowded at all

Cons:
Carpet pads are ok but not great
*edit* ^now concrete!
One hole with room for big power
not forgiving

Other Thoughts:
My home course. Another 9 holes are coming/in the pipes.
Benches near 5,7,9 are great.
Trees on 3,4,6 provide split fairways/shot options
2,5,9 aceable
Will rate 5* if concrete pads are put in and the second nine ends up being as great
*edit*
Concrete pads are awesome & long!
4's pad was moved 6ft left so both fairways are more in play.

We have preliminary approval for the second nine at Skare Woods. This will utilize the area to the northwest of the existing course, playing across the open field to the wooded ravine area and the banks of the Kyte River. Target for the second nine is summer of '15.

Cons:
only a couple blind shots
needs upgraded teepads (though they aren't terrible for just being carpet)
It's not closer to my house or else I'd be here all the time.

Other Thoughts:
I went to pick up my sister from her friend's wedding out in Oregon, IL and she didn't mind if we stopped to play a quick round on the way back. It was easy to get around and since it was fairly new at the time there wasn't anyone else there so I got to enjoy the course that much more. I really liked the holes within the woods where there are a medium amount of trees that were pretty tall so you were just avoiding trunks really, which is something I haven't seen at any of my local course. It was really a nice change of scenery and plan on making a few road trips out there for a few round for summers to come.
