Linda and the owners are wonderful people. Really solid pro shop, plenty of parking, and apparently a thriving local community of players.

If you are a brand new beginner, this is the easiest, most straight forward course I have ever played. It is a good starting point.

Outside of being brand spanking new to the sport, or just warming up for Grizzly, I can't see the point of playing this starter course. It's incredibly basic, short and easy, for the most part.

The majority of the holes suffer from poor and uncreative design, and are between 150' and 250'.

The actual course layout is disasterous. The holes are crammed together extremely tight. Sometimes you can't tell what basket goes to what hole, or which teepad is actually the next hole to go to. I've ended up on one of the neighboring courses multiple times trying to go to next hole. It's just poorly laid out, the courses were simply not designed professionally with experience at all.

The baskets are very old. The majority of them (the OLD MACH baskets that spit everything out) are severely tilted at this point and the chains can't even hang straight because they are so unlevel.

Pars on this course are set either reasonably, or too easy. I recall "eagling" an UNDER 300' Par 4 Hole with a drop in 2 last year, no reasoning behind that.

This beginner course is fine for what it is... but the leaning, old baskets, and terrible hole layouts and mostly uninspired design push it into obscurity. Play Grizzly, it's far superior.

I'm from CT, but over the last number of years I've noticed the locals seem to mostly just play this beginner course on the crappy baskets. I'm dumbfounded. Grizzly seems like that perfect AM / intermediate course for league play. Why not switch over??
