Pros:
This course is long long long, with a couple of holes that you might card a 2 on. If you think you have D and want to use it, you best have some accuracy.
Front 9 is extra long with open fairways, but God help you, should you get off course.

Cons:
Still under development with a monstrous amount of work still to do. There are no signs yet, so a guide could be beneficial, but most folks seem to do just fine.
I fear people will run scared since this is not a pitch and putt course.

Other Thoughts:
We are tediously working on this course to get it playable for you, but with daylight waning, the work days are slowing. Feel free to play, but please understand that the Monster is a work in progress and has as far to go as it has already come.

Pros:
The course is now "playable." All 18 baskets are in and have fairly legitimate fairways that will really challenge all players with length, tightness, and/or elevation changes depending on the hole. Holes 1-4 play in a county right of way with hole 2 playing around 1000'. Hole 5 is a tight anheyser with holes 6-12 being back out in the right of ways.
All the right of way holes have 60 to 80 foot fairways with considerable length to them and are woods lined.
Holes 13 to 18 play in the woods and are tight.

Cons:
The course begins at the library and ends down a pathway to the right of tee 1.
Unfortunately there are no maps or scorecards yet. The best map available currently can be found at:

There is no way of losing your disc in the fairway, but off the fairways it is very easy to spend some time finding your disc at this point.
Tees are too small right now...3 by 5 rubber mats.
Many ankle biters exist in the woods and additional clearing is definately needed.

Other Thoughts:
The course will only get better with more work in the future and is worth checking out. Plan on a round taking 2 and a half hours with 2 to 3 players and some time spent looking for discs if you go off the fairway.
AS OF JULY OF 2010 STILL EXPECT THE WORST OF THIS COURSE. PEOPLE ARE SLAMMING IT AND THEIR COMPLAINTS ARE THE TRUTH. SLAM THIS REVIEW, WHO CARES BUT THIS IS WHERE THE TRUTH LIES. THERE IS NO WATER TO DRINK OUT THERE, HIGH GRASS IN THE FAIRWAYS BUT IT IS NOT THICK GRASS, REALLY DENSE WOODS LINE THE "OPEN" HOLES, LENGTH IS VERY LONG, NO SIGNS AT ALL, TEE PADS ARE THERE BUT STINK ON THE LONG HOLES, YOU WILL NOT FIND THE SHORT TEES, SOME OF THE BASKETS YOU CAN'T SEE FROM THE TEE AND WON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY REALLY WILL BE THERE, THE MAP THAT EXISTS STINKS, NO ONE WILL BE OUT THERE PLAYING WITH YOU, 100 FOOT TREES HAVE BEEN CUT DOWN AND ARE LITERALLY SITTING IN THE FAIRWAYS ON THE WOODS HOLES, AND IN A FEW MORE YEARS AT THE CURRENT PACE THE MONSTER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE BEST COURSES IN VA.
