Too many trees! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Trees provide shade in the summer. Well maintained course.

Cons:

Basket placement. No wide open holes. Groups who get together to play doubles are often rude and will tee off regardless of whether or not you are done . It's almost as if they are saying, "Get out of my way, I'm playing league doubles"

Other Thoughts:

Why did the designers of this course not include a few open holes? Why does every hole have to be in the thick woods?

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 16, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I played this course the first week it was officially opened and thought it was acceptably challenging. I liked the idea of using logs for OB and the uniqueness of the sink holes was tickling, though I sometimes wondered about my safety. I'm sure that the routes are probably more defined by now and can't wait to make a trip back.

Cons:

Can't remember being displeased with anything, but it has been 2.5 years since I was there.

Appropriately Named 2+ years drive by

Pros:

*Major update for this review! I played it years ago when it was pretty new- wow, it is amazing to see how courses can mature and improve!!! The fairways are now reasonable as trees have been removed and ground worn in often made of mulch/woodchips. The dozens of weird decorations are now gone and tastefully reduced to 1-2 a hole. Still plenty of sinkholes, however now they have pumped in water to fill up some of them!

Two sets of concrete tees. Excellent tee signs. Multiple baskets. The basket suspended over the sink hole was cool. You could play this course many different ways using different combos of tees and basket locations!

Nice putting area surrounded by benches. Practice driving range with distance markers and several concrete pads!

Cons:

First timers may have a little trouble navigating as there are many paths on the course that do not take you to the next tee. There are next tee arrows, but they are dark red, small, and hard to see.

I like each hole to have 2 or 3 basket locations. However, many holes had 2 or 3 actual baskets in play, but not all the holes were like this, and the tee sign only listed 1 hole location, so you were unaware that you could play at the other locations until you got further down the fairway. Maybe soon they will put baskets in every possible location to solve this problem? They had a system on the tee sign to tell you if the basket was in A or B- if there is a basket in both, why not mark both!

Other Thoughts:

Very popular course, a lot of people play it and it is by far the best course in the Chattanooga area. Good local club and the sport is growing here as there are now multiple courses in the area.
