Challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very challenging course, with a lot of character. Some great scenic views, and usually only a few groups out. Starts and finishes right up by the parking lot. 2 or 3 great "signature" type holes.

Cons:

The flood, period. This course has a ton of potential, but was flooded several years ago and has been abandoned. Tees come in grass(good) dirt (manageable) and sand(terrible), and most posts are missing or laying down. Very difficult to map out for the first time, so bring a local if possible. Lots of sand so you leave feeling pretty gritty.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, this is a great hidden gem of a course, if you play it early. By mid summer when the undergrowth comes in and the grass gets tall (the city doesn't seem to mow it) it can be downright frustrating. Not a great course for beginners at anytime, but if you are looking for a challenge you'll find it. The first 2 holes are a crisp wake up demanding your attention to leave with pars. Then on to a string of holes that have the opportunity for birdies, but still require long accurate drives to do so. Lucky to pick up a few before getting to the back nine, which lengthen a bit and again command your attention for pars. Through in a few short ones, and back to 350 plus to finish the round.
