Pros:
The Grizzly is by FAR the best of the 3 courses on Woodland Valley's 120+ acre property.
-It is the most reasonably sized of the 3, catering to intermediate players.
-Unlike Black Bear and Kodiak, the pars chosen for these holes feel consistently accurate and fair. (Although I did eagle 17 on Thanksgiving Day both this year and last on my trip up from CT... but it took excellent shots...)
-The natural terrain and atmosphere is a step up from Black Bear.
-Seems seldom played. I enjoy the peace and solitude on this and Kodiak more than the overpopulated Black Bear.
-Excellent grippy paver tees, newer MachV baskets that are level and catch discs very well.
-High quality hole signs.
-The Hole 15 / 16 area. Love. I got so bored halfway through Black Bear today and quit to play Grizzly, dreaming of hole 16. You leave the woods for a pocket field for 2 holes. It's arstheticslly gorgeous, both holes are well designed, and 16 is one of the cleanest most beautiful and naturally shaped fairways I have played anywhere hands down. I had immense fun practicing my destroyer roller (I have a crazy flippy destroyer...) and trying to push the limit over and over, or just airing out massive turn over flips. In my opinion, by far the best hole of the 54 on site.
-Great starting Hole / good ending hole.
-owners are awesome, pro shop is extensive and great customer service
Cons:
Not much for cons...
-still a bit close to other courses on site
-baskets could use flags or color to increase visibility
-more detailed maintenance
Other Thoughts:
By far the best course on site for many many reasons.
I'd highly recommend (personally) the leagues and locals start focusing on it over Black Bear...
I have been coming here on my trips up to Maine from CT to visit my sister. For the first time today I finally felt quite disappointed with Black Bear and Kodiak. The Grizzly was definitely the saving grace, but I don't know if there's enough quality at Woodland Valley anymore to keep me coming back... sadly. New courses are being built regularly and these are just stuck in time, not being improved or upgraded...
