Deeeeep Rough n Ready for a change? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 7, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice Hole 1 raised green.
-SUPER nice 'Camel Feature' on 9. WOW factor.
-Pleasant mowed grass environment
-Good place for Intermediates to work on accuracy
-Quick round in area that needs the course.

Cons:

-Super deep rough close to fairways!
-One intermediate tee. Not rec, advanced or pro friendly
-After #1 Green, totally flat.
-Many holes look and play about the same
-Hikers Bikers crossing through several holes.

Other Thoughts:

NOTE: High hopes that this course will improve greatly. Local land activist Jim McCullough asked me to write the Town of Williston about 2 changes that would really make this a GREAT learners course.

1. As others have noted, the rough is REALLY deep here. See the photos of holes 4 and several others. I suggested a 'First Cut' or maybe even another 'Second Cut' of shorter rough so decent shots only get punished a little and half decent shots get punished a little more. Right now, if you are off a little you are off and searching which is pretty harsh for such an easy course.

2. This is an inherently beginners course that does not have beginner tees. A simple set of Survey Flags or Colored Stakes would do so no expense is involved.

Meanwhile, the current White (or Intermediate) tees are barely adequate for a compact X Step (3 step windup). And there are several holes where you are throwing right next to the hiking trail that runs right through the course.

So for me this a 2 star course with 3 star potential. The eastside of Burlington needs a course but most players would do better to go southside to CVU for now anyway.
