2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Free play, closer to UConn campus.

Cons:

No tee boxes, few baskets to next tee boxes are TOO CLOSE! Need trimming blocked view toward baskets because too many low branches. Poor direction basket to next tee boxes for first timers. Heavy bloodsuckers during summertime.

Other Thoughts:

Hope course need improving better in someday! I might come back.

Pros:

they had baskets?

Cons:

Many, will explain below.

Other Thoughts:

You park by the front of the building and go to the front right corner of the building. Find the mailbox in the trees and head on in. You will be able to follow the path to the first tee. the signs are pretty good marking the tees(natural), and there is a sign next to the baskets as well with it's number on it. The first few holes don't seem that bad just really crowded and under defined fairways, and navigation wasn't hard either if you had the map. At this point the only thing pissing you off are all the bugs eating you alive. You are now at the forth tee and wondering where the basket is as there isn't really a fairway to speak of, and you follow a path to find it kinda far away. I think the 5th and 6th tee signs got swapped as we found the 6th tee sign first in what on the map looked like the 5ths spot and vise verse, and again crappy fairway definition. I will say that in theory the ridge hole(5 or 6?) I thought was cool, huge risk verse reward as the fairway is technically the top of 177ft low clearance ridge, that if you don't stay atop you end up 15 ft down shooting up. 7 and 8 bring you back out into the field behind the church and then 9 they actually cleared a long tunnel threw the woods to brings you back to the front of the parking lot.

Overall this course was just not defined enough if at all on some holes and will need some major work before this course is fully playable. I would hope that in the winter it might be a bit easier to play as things might die down and the bugs might go away but I would rather go the few miles down the road to the UConn object course than fight these nine baskets.
