Pros:
Six new, wooded holes recently installed, with a decent layout. New holes are now 4-10, 1-3 original course, then you head deep into the woods. I like the new holes, though they are very "rough" and terribly marked. One cool hole (8/9?) under / over an arched tree. 4-8 from original course (now 10-14) not bad, mostly open. 8/14 is a really nice par 4/5 through a stand of pine trees. Finishing hole (10/16) not bad. I'd rate this course lower, due poor signange, tee pads, and its "roughness", but I know its kind of "home grown", and I know they are trying. At least the new holes are in, are decent, and all holes have two teeing areas.
Cons:
No real tee pads, only paralell logs in flat spots. Not at all well marked, particularly the new holes. Some "next tee" signs, but then they disappeared. Signage on these holes consists of a number on a tree, pink flags on trees sort of marking the way. No numbers on tee baskets. I got lost more than once on the new holes, but eventually figured it out. When you end the new holes (4-9), you are back at the original 4-10, and they still say 4-10. Old hole 9 has disappeared. Only because I had played here before could I navigate this course. 9/15 is way below 8/14, steep hill down, or a long walk around the ball field. The new holes are very rough, stumps, trees, sticker bushes often in the fairway. Lots of steep up and down walking, traversing a creek bed. I almost wiped out / tripped several times. Be careful on these holes, and on the hill down from 8/14 to 9/15.
Other Thoughts:
I know this is a community funded course, and it looks like they need money / volunteers. With some play and TLC the new rougher holes will wear in. Why only 16 holes? There is certainly space all around for 2 more holes. Minimum, home grown signage, and a volunteer day to spruce up tee boxes, paths, directional markers, etc. is what this course needs.
