Quality course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

*beautiful new DD blue veteran baskets on every hole
* alternative Amateur baskets with Monkey traps that allow you to distinguish the difference on more than half the holes.
*good variety of shot shapes and distances
*good use of water hazards that won't steal your disc
*fun elevated pins
*blue tassels on every hole that show C1, and orange ones that show OB
*nice practice basket
* nice overhead map at the beginning
*right behind a school which could probably help #growthesport

Cons:

*very little elevation change
* some of the new long positions feel lame compared to the originals, and I wish I could've played those instead
*course layout can be a little hard to follow sometimes, and walking to another hole can cross a fairway (the walk to 17 crosses 8)
* hole 7 puts a basket in the back corner of an island of a sidewalk that feels like could be dangerous with the amount of walkers
*outdated tee signs (Although I met a nice local who said new ones would be finished in a couple of weeks)

*Hole 3 is mess (I was talking to an employee at the NWA Dynamic discs store, he told me a tornado ripped through the area and the city made all the damage into mulch. They then dumped it on hole 3 and it became free mulch for anyone in the city. I believe it will be fixed eventually)

Other Thoughts:

I am recently visiting from Saint Louis and I thought I would try this course. I played the "pro" layout that has the pretty new Veteran baskets. I enjoyed myself-- I found myself challenged and used a variety of discs because most holes differed. A couple standout holes: Hole 1- a 520 foot par 3 that gets pinched between the creek and the road, with a cool elevated basket.
Hole 8- a 280 foot blind bh hyzer hole that must cross a creek and is hevaily guarded by trees the whole left side
Hole 16- a downhill 520 foot par 3 that ends with a 10 foot mound with the basket making for a very scary putt.

I unfortunately had to UDisc often to find way around, and see the hole distances because the layout can get confusing. For example I actually played hole 17 as hole 5 mostly because it was the closest hole, and the tee sign was missing to correct me. However, I learned from a local that the new baskets/placements were just put in 3 weeks ago and that they would have tee signs soon, so I will cut some slack for that. Lastly like I said in the cons, a couple holes the Am baskets actually seemed like a cooler shot (Hole 2 and 14, and maybe one more that I am forgetting.

Overall I enjoyed myself at this course and was challenged pretty well (shot a +2 am a 923 rated player). Other than the confusing at time layouts and hole 3 this designers used the land it had to the best of its ability and created a quality course. Would recommend to anyone in the area after they played Creekside or JBeast first.

Decent, but take a map and watch out for errant shots! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 24, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The open and well-mowed shots were really good. The two elevated baskets were definitely a challenge, especially on the approach to #16! The paths and creeks were definitely good OB obstacles, but I had to pay more attention to some of the narrow paths between trees.

Cons:

As a first time player at Twin Creeks DGC, it was difficult to navigate w/o a map. Many of the holes were not mowed well and you definitely could not see the basket on many holes. Playing alone was difficult because there are times where you really want a spotter. There are lots of trees and other plants to avoid there.. stinging nettle, briar patches w/ lots of thorns, etc.

Other Thoughts:

AVOID the stinging nettle, they hurt pretty BAD!! (I must be allergic). Ran into a patch just left of the fairway on hole #6 where I lost a Champion Sidewinder.
