Just keeps getting better.. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 27, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great scenery (next to a lake)

-Diverse mix of shots - Left/Right/Uphill/Downhill/Open/Tight

-New tee signs

-Next hole markers on every hole (bright yellow)

-Not busy at all (I have seen maybe three golfers out there in the 10ish times I have played the course)

-Nice baskets

-Blind shots typically have a marker down the fairway pointing to basket which comes in pretty handy

Cons:

-Teepads would be my biggest con; that said, it wasn't a huge deal. Some holes have rubber mats while some are natural.

-A couple holes are kind of filler holes-- ie. 100ft straight shot gimme birdie... Again, not a big deal and somewhat welcomed after struggling to get through some of the wooded holes with a par or even bogey.

Other Thoughts:

I have played this course over the last 4 years and each time I make it back there have been noticeable improvements.

-When I first started coming, many of the holes played to poles with objects (gas tanks). Now all holes play to baskets.

-Used to be no signage. Now each hole has a sign and as mentioned there are next tee signs at each basket.

-Used to play through the parking lot (scraped discs-OUCH!) and through swampy areas behind the baseball field, but now the course winds through the woods behind the lake.

I'm not sure who, I've tried to find facebook groups, but someone has put in a lot of work at this course and it is very appreciated. It's obvious the town is pro-disc golf as even the grocery store has disc golf signs attached to the inside of shopping carts. If you find yourself in the area, check this course out. While off the beaten course, it makes sense that the reviews are outdated and are few, however, you won't regret the stop. If you are familiar with Black Mouse around Santa Cruz, this track has a lot of similarities.

Pros:

The volunteers are doing a great job on this course.Hole 1 now starts from the map by the right field line of the softball field at the back of the lake.The next tee arrows are better now aswell. A new hole (7) is a great addition making only 2 holes in the parking lot.Good course to play and utilize every type of throw.

Cons:

During softball season lots of cars will have dents,skip the first 3 when parking lots full.The forest / lake will punish you for crappy throws.Most off the tee pads suck for now.

Other Thoughts:

This course can piss you off.Hope to see you out there and thanks to the guys who put a course in our great town!
