Pros:
- Course is set in a multi-activity center that is a pay-to-play; the other things to do like mini-golf and a ball golf driving range aren't really in play. A few holes have the potential to come close to the driving range, so heads up!
- The most prominent feature of this course are the numerous creeks and ponds that come into play, and they come into play often. #5 and #6 both play with the creek close on the left, #8 and #16 have water crossing the fairway near the basket, #14 and #15 are long hyzers over the creek on the left, #13 has the creek on right, #10 has a small pond before the green, etc. etc. There are many chances to get wet here, and provide most of the challenge.
- While there aren't too many wooded holes, there are enough trees here and there to make things interesting. #11 is a very tight, downhill double mando, and #10 is a long dogleg right around some woods. #8 has many gaps to hit when going over the creek, and holes #2-#5 have smattering of trees and bushes to force line shaping or protect the basket.
- Lines are pretty open, but there are some places where a left or right shot is required. A lot of open/RHBH hyzer shots, to be sure, but holes like #4, #10, and #18 are good for a LHBH drive or approach.
- A few spots with decent elevation changes; like the uphill green to #9, the uphill drive and approach on #10, and the downhill floater shot on #11.
- Pretty good teepads; the mini-golf turf pads are great, the concrete blocks are slotted which is a little awkward. Good baskets (with lights?), navigation isn't too bad but the map helps. Some rakes near water hazards to help retrieve discs.
Cons:
- Apart from a small section, the course is pretty flat, and pretty much open. The biggest hazard by far is the water, which presents some gnarly sloped terrain by some of the riverbeds.
- A little cramped in a few spots, like around hole #9 and #13. Some baskets in sight aren't the correct ones to shoot at, which is where the map comes in handy.
Other Thoughts:
- All in all, a pretty fun course that allows for some basic line shaping, and more importantly hitting landing zones. Players with bigger arms will be able to challenge the rivers and try to clear some of the longer hazards, others will have to lay up and play for an open approach. Advanced players will be able to cruise through, beginners might be in for a long round.
