Pros:
This is a beginner friendly course, yet it plays as a reasonably honest par -3, with some 3s much more attainable than others. On most of the holes the only severe hazards come into play if one overshoots a hole, which has little effect on the rookies but could make things interesting for some one who rips away going for a deuce.
Cons:
Only a few holes in the middle of the course forced particular kinds of shots, the rest were so open one could get away with nearly anything. Having route 18 running right next to the course took away from the tranquility.
Other Thoughts:
The openness of the course seemed to encourage me to try out some different kinds of shots, knowing that recovery from a mistake was usually easy. One could view this as good or bad, but as one who is new to the game it helped me build some confidence.
