Lots of great holes on this course. A little something for everyone. I loved the elevation changes and loads of mature trees. I loved the Predator baskets, they catch just about everything and you feel very confident putting on them. The course was in very good shape considering it is still very new and there will be many improvements to come I'm sure, such as thinning out some trees, concrete tee pads, course maps, etc. A very fun and at times challenging course. A couple of the short holes were as challenging as some of the longer holes with all of the trees. I would make a point to stop in a play again if I were in the area.

The course itself: The first con I have is that the start is not easy to find if you don't come into the park on the right street. We drove around for a while looking for the start and ended up starting on hole 5, which was not a big deal, and would have been easy to spot #1 if we entered the park in the right place, but GPS decided to bring us to a different entrance. The next con is the distance between the baskets and the next tee pads was pretty far apart on a lot of the holes. As a player and course designer, I wasn't sure why some of them were so far apart. This is a huge park and looked like plenty of room to get another 18 holes put in at some point in the future, if the holes were a little closer. Maybe there is a good reason for this, but I sure couldn't figure it out. This brings me to my last con regarding the baskets. I loved the Predator baskets, my only problem was the fins on top of some of them, which are supposed to be pointing towards the next tee pad, were not exactly close to where the tees actually were. The directions were off just enough to make you question where you should go and which basket was the correct one the first time playing it.

The next course I design I would really consider the Predator baskets, especially if they are able to come in different colors. There were a couple of holes where the basket sat on a little elevation and the sky was the background and the white was difficult to see. (I'm guessing they will be very difficult to see in the winter with snow on the ground and on the baskets) Same issue with DGA baskets that don't have the orange tape on them. I think a hot pink would have great visibility during every season of the year, regardless of the background!
Once they thin out a few trees, get concrete tee pads and course map, this will be a top notch course well worth making the trip for!
