mid range course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Sign at beginning of course marking the layout.
Baskets seemed nice and well kept.

Cons:

Waaaay short. When I was standing on the 1st tee pad I thought I was in the wrong place because it was basically a long putt up hill. I wouldnt count it as an ace if i made it, it wouldnt feel right. Holes 6-9 I had to start to wander to find the tee pad (which are dirt patches amoung grass with 2 1 square ft concrete squares). No signs to help find the holes.

Other Thoughts:

If they used the area around hole 1 to expand and lengthen the course it could be pretty cool.
Take a good look at the sign at the beginning, I might not have wandered as much if I took a better look.
When looking for tee pads, look for dirt patches amoung a sea of grass.
If you want to add this course to your list or are very bored go here, othewise go to a different course.

Nothing Special 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-I thought the course was really easy to follow. Take a look at the sign at the beginning, get a feel for the flow of the course, and it was no problem
-Nice Baskets
-Nice area to walk around. Nothing too special, but nice.

Cons:

-Very short shots. #2 is about 50 feet total. (Although there is a tree IN THE WAY which makes it O.K.)
-All in all a very easy course. Too short. Pretty much every shot could be done in two throws. I think it took two of us about 15 minutes to play the course.

Other Thoughts:

This course is O.K. It's easy to follow, and as long as you know what you are looking for for the tees, it's no problem. The tees are these tiny little cement blocks in the ground. They just mark a line, but you don't stand on them to tee off. If you are in the area, there certainly wouldn't be a problem with stopping and giving this course a shot, but it's nothing worth taking a trip for.
Oh, and I can imagine that they may be pretty strict about a no alcohol/drug rule.
