Played on:Mar 17, 2018
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
- Easy to find course and 1st tee.
- There are multiple birdie opportunities, along with difficult par 4s and a winding par 5 with an elevated basket.
-Multiple lines on a lot of holes make playing the course more than once a must.
-#5 has a double mando that, oddly enough, has multiple lines off the tee and basket is sitting in the middle of 2 high tires.
-#7 the par 5, is a downhill winding hole that finishes on top of a 5 foot stump with a latter to retrieve your disc. One of the best holes on the course.
-#15-17 are easily one of the most intriguing and challenging 3 hole stretches. #15 ( short par 3) is through a narrow alley to a hanging basket inside a pavilion. #16 tee shot flies over prickly brush, past sasquatch ( cut-out) and sails down hill to a hanging basket inside a triple truck tree. #17 an extreme, snaking par 4 up the hill with the basket sitting on the crest of a drop off.

Cons:
Not many if any.
-Some next tee signs were difficult to find or read
( this may have been due to recent weather).
-#19 and 20 seemed to be put in just to get you closer to the parking lot.
-#13 and #14 tee are back to back.
- Maybe add 7 more for 27 holes?

Other Thoughts:
This course is a hidden gem even in the snow. I wish I lived closer to the course because I would play it frequently. Easily one of the aesthetically pleasing and challenging places I've played.

Played the course:once
Pros:
This course is exceptional. I am so surprised to see it here as it really reminds me of some of the newer/well known courses showing up along the eastern seaboard. My group and I will be back to play this many times and to watch it develop over time.
The pluses essentially come down to this.
1) This course has a ton of variety. Each hole is unique, the shots are a balance of distances and shapes (starts out favoring RHBH/LHFH, switches to RHFH/LHBH for awhile, then back to RHBH/LHFH). You even have an island green here. That's worth half a rating right there. And 20 holes? Even the number is unique.
2) Almost half of the baskets are elevated or hanging, including one you need stairs to get to. Makes for some nervous putting.
3) Multiple lines. There are multiple lines cut in on many holes making for some great options.
4) This strikes me as an advanced player's woods course (I like that). That said, hit the lines and birdies are available all over, but go off the line and welcome to bogey land. For me, I like precision as much as distance, and this course certainly favors precision.
5) This course clearly has an active work crew. They have done a ton of work clearing small brush, creating lines and improving the course. This course is only about two years old and already is beginning to look mature. They will clearly work to continue to improve this course.

Cons:
These cons are super tiny and given the hard work of this work crew, I am sure they will are in process. Once fixed, this is a solid 5.
1) Carpet pads for now (12/23/16). They are nice and flat, but they will probably need an upgrade as they get water on them that freezes and ices in the cold. No doubt concrete pads or something similar are coming.
2) It looks like a bit more brush work is probably coming to the back holes, given the look of the majority of holes on the course.

Other Thoughts:
This course is so imaginative and such a great test of precision. Great shots are rewarded with bride throws, bad tosses really set you back.
