If you're reading this review in 2019, it means you've missed your chance to play the course this year. But look for it and don't miss it in 2020!
Here is a hole by hole breakdown for the 2019 course layout:
1. Par 3, 320 feet, plays over an OB road to a fairway and green area with a good number of guardian bushes and trees. One of the more technical holes.
2. Par 3, 256 feet, straight down a narrow, open fairway with trees lining the right side and an OB chainlink fence lining the other side. Very easy to finish left and OB here.
3. Par 4, 590 feet, plays right to left around a lake. The closer you land to the lake, the more open your approach shot to the green will be. If you play it safer and stay right, trees make the approach much more technical and challenging. Nice risk-reward element.
4. Par 3, 345 feet, plays around the other side of the lake with huge bushes obstructing the safer, right side of the fairway. Play a strong RHBH hyzer to the green area, but don't finish too far right or you're in the thick shrubs around the lake or the lake itself.
5. Par 3, 400 feet, plays straight and downhill. Dotted trees on the right-hand side, a thicker line of trees on the left. No OB to speak of.
6. Par 4, 540 feet, plays over an OB park road, designed like you're throwing over a river to the safe side of the road, but the natural right-to-left finish of RHBH shots will want to carry you OB (for the drive and the approach shot).
7. Par 3, 412 feet, downhill across a dirt parking lot. This would be a great hole to play a roller or a skip, but there are parking space barriers across the whole parking lot, adding a bit of unpredictability to the ground play of your shot.
8. Par 3, 340 feet, playing back up the hill across the dirt parking lot with a wooden fence guarding the basket. There's a good chance you'll have to contend with the fence on your putt.
9. Par 4, 500 feet, across the dirt parking lot again. Finish as close to the road as you can without going OB for your approach to the island green with the huge art sculpture.
10. Par 3, 280 feet, is a tunnel shot across a road, not OB, and sidewalk to a basket with a steep hill sloping down from it into the underbrush. Good hole to play a low skip shot, sticking close to the sidewalk.
11. Par 3, 240 feet, uphill to a basket with an OB road within 10 feet behind it. One of if not the best birdie opportunities on the whole course, but be careful going for it: if you go slightly long, your bridie put turns into a par put from the edge of the OB.
12. Par 3, 354 feet, almost completely wide open, across a flat, grass field. Slightly uphill. Not much to this hole.
13. Par 3, 345 feet, is almost the same as the previous hole, playing back across the same field, slightly downhill.
14. Par, 801 feet from the Am tee, 1001 feet from the Pro tee. This is the big one! It's a gradual downhill, completely wide open, to a super-elevated basket. Definitely a birdie opportunity if you get close enough to run a putt at the elevated basket. I would imagine this is even an eagle opportunity for the super long throwers. I can only imagine...
15. Par 3,305 feet. This is the $5,000/$10,000 ace hole! It's a very pretty, straight, slightly downhill hole with trees and bushes lining each side. It's not wide enough to throw a big hyzer and the trees are enough of an obstacle to prevent you from going over them. You have to go straight up the middle for 300 feet if you want a shot at the $5,000 tournament ace ($10,000 if you make it a disc from Dynamic Discs).
16. Par 4, 630 feet, another long, slightly downhill hole, dogleg right. There is thick woods and underbrush on each side. Birdie is very doable...but so is bogey if you miss the fairway.
17. Par 3, 200 feet, the shortest hole on the course. You will kick yourself if you don't birdie it. It's a left-to-right hole where a flick or an anhyzer from a right-handed player will do. Very thick woods and underbrush on either side of the narrow fairway.
18. Par 3, 245 feet, flex shot down a dirt road with very thick woods and underbrush on each side.
19. Par 3, 300 feet for the Ams, par 4, 555 feet for the pros. This is the manure hole! For the Ams, it's a straight 300-foot shot very thick woods on either side of the fairway, which is wide at the tee, but narrows near the green. The manure ground is up close to the green. For the pros, back up another 255 feet down the dirt road for a technical, flex shot approach to the tee area for the Ams.
20. Par 3, 370 feet across another parking lot to an elevated basket. There is woods on the right, but it's basically a wide open hole and OB really isn't in play.
