Pros:

This is a very clean clean course set in beautiful park setting. The holes are well marked and flow nicey together. It has a good mix of shot shaping and elevation changes. Holes are so close together, you can bang 18 out in less than 1hr. Very nice short course!

Cons:

The back is being redesigned and coming along nicely. Although, it doesn't have the same natural flow as the front.

Other Thoughts:

Highlights:
#2- Beware the creek all over the left side, it is so easy to lose it trying to go for the basket.
#7- Fun left hard left turning 185 ft shot onto an almost island.
#8- Throwing onto a steep cliffside. The basket is hanging on a rock face! Stay high and right. Lay it up soft or you will two putt.
#9- Do yourself a favor and hammer it down the left lane and skip that sucker up close.
#12- Tough short hole, any ideas??
#15- Don't overthrow, you may go down the mountain on the other side like I did!
#16- Same mountain, easy to catch an edge and roll all the way down.

B+ for Bery Bery Nice Tradiitonal Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2007 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == B
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == B+
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == A-
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == A-
5) Bonus points for multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A

Other Thoughts:

It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (125 18-hole, 64 9-hole as of mid 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage...if what I can add anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

Pros:

Nice course overall. Makes extensive use of the natural landscaping/rocks/stream. Lots of elevation changes and up/down putts which are risk/reward for intermediate players.

Cons:

Some holes will be inaccessible to those people who can't climb up and down steep hills/banks/tree roots. Not really a negative to most, just something to be aware of.

Other Thoughts:

I liked it and plan to go back this weekend to play a couple rounds with a friend. Overall above average course.

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 12, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course makes you use all the discs in your bag. Some holes require a well placed putter off the tee, others a bombed midrange and others still that require you to max out your best driver.

Pin placements are very tricky in some instances and added to that are others placed on barren hillsides filled with roots and rocks to kick your disc back down said hillside.

Cons:

Some holes are too tight and/or technical to suit my style of play.

Other Thoughts:

This course can be a great equalizer, so if you are a very technical player who wants to take one of his longer friends down a notch this might be the place.

Pros:

A lot of holes play by the creek. Good challenging course, even for the novice player as most holes aren't extremly long. Very helpful park patrons. Fast pins locations as most baskets placed on sloping hillside. Plenty of Parking.

Cons:

A lot of holes play by the creek. No signs that lead you to the park off of the main roads/highways in the area.

Other Thoughts:

Be careful of Mountain Bikers. They appear out of no where, if your not familar with the park as I was.

Pros:

Wonderful use of natural terrain. Elevation changes on most holes. Trees come into play on all but a few holes. There is also a creek running through this course that will be an issue if your approach shots aren't carefully placed.

Cons:

Hole #13 is in a temporary location which was hard to find. Once this hole is permanent, and the signs are posted, I would rate this course higher.

Other Thoughts:

Friendly locals and well maintained course.
I am looking forward to playing this one again.
