The Springs DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great use of the available acreage. The holes have a nice flow, with no confusion from pin to next tee. The topography of the land is showcased well, with elevation changes throughout the course. Tees (three sets) are well marked with flags. Nice and shady throughout (for those hot summer days).

Cons:

On the day I played, the vegetation was quite high (mostly may apples, poison ivy, virginia creeper, and ferns -- the undergrowth of old forests.) As it was quite recently forest, many of the holes had no clear "lines". As a novice, I'd say I hit a tree 2/3 throws. Maybe not a con, per se, but it has far more trunks/fairway than any of the other two dozen or so courses I've played.

Other Thoughts:

As this is a new course, I'm sure the cons listed above will be addressed. Mowing will be easier once many of the stumps are removed, and I'm sure trees will be selectively felled to clear up the fairways. (This is probably best done as a gradual practice, since you can't put them back!).
