Very nice beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 2, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great beginner course with a few technical shots. Nice easy walk and well laid out. Short holes are great for beginners working on their aim and form. Some longer holes including one par 4 allow for some work on long drives. Recent clearing of all the underbrush makes for a very clean and easy to navigate course with little possibility of losing discs. Many holes are easily aceable for even medium skilled players.

Cons:

Short holes will prove tame for more experienced players. After playing less than a month I am already throwing midrange discs of most tees. Close proximity to parking lots and playing fields provide hazards for new players learning to control their aim. Tee boxes are really terrible, worst thing about this course. Dirt that has worn down to roots in most places mean that you have to worry about where your feet are going instead of just on your shot.

Other Thoughts:

Overall this course is a wonderful course for beginners and anyone looking to get into the sport, or more experienced players looking to work on their short game.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 10, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Starts off with a straight away, good chance to take a shot at a ringer. There's a good balance of right to left shots, as it zig zags through the campus. Difficulty level is high, but still doable for a not so experienced player.

Cons:

The back 9 starts off with an evil shot from right to left, through a tightly wooded narrow hallway of trees. Then to top it off you have an extra long par 4 afterwards, and the rest is mirrored through those first 2 holes. Because its such a new course, the fairways are surrounded by debris, so theres a high risk of losing a disc.

Other Thoughts:

Absolutely beautiful course
