Pros:
-You'll have the place completely to yourself.
-Pretty well all the baskets are still usable.

Cons:
Short and sweet.
This course doesnt seem to have been maintained in years.
-Shin high grass
-Zero tee pad
-Most poles for tee pads are still visible but no sign of hole #, distance, etc. Some poles where completely gone (cut off at the base).

Other Thoughts:
-You can still see the remains of the course and can kind of get the idea of the layout for some of the holes but still nothing is defined.
-We still made a day of it. We just made our own holes, more of a sandbox style, with the still remaining baskets and used the day more for practice.
-Stick with Joshua Franklin at Chehaw if you're in the area and want a legit course.

Other Thoughts:
The designers did the best job they could with the land that they had.
Sherwood staff are some of the most welcoming people in the World so don't be afraid to ask for something should you need it.

A Well Manicured Pecan Groove 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 30, 2011
Played the course:once
Pros:
The course is located in a scenic well manicured flat pecan grove. All of the trees are in evenly spaced rows and all of them are about the same age and size. The course designer did a good job of coming up with a versatile layout as this property will allow. The course is located away from other park activates and is in a peaceful location. Both the front and back nine begin and end near the parking lot.
Cons:
Navigation is little confusing in a couple of places.
Other Thoughts:
This course gives the Albany area two quality courses with two significantly different looks.

Pros:
Unique setting in a pecan orchard.
They used the land to the best of their ability.
Gateway Titan baskets are pretty awesome.

Cons:
No elevation changes.
Back 9 feels like the same hole over and over again.
There was a pond in the middle of the back 9(from the rain,but you can tell it stays that way pretty often)but none of the holes took advantage of it.
0 NexTee signs made for a difficult time navigating,quite a bit of backtracking.

Other Thoughts:
Overall,the front 9 was pretty fun but the back 9 was a letdown,that's where the lengthy holes are,a true par five,and a few par fours.
After we played the entire 18 once,we continued to play the front 9 twice more.
The back 9 is truly just the same hole over and over again,I get that it is a pecan orchard,so it's to be expected,rows of trees with space inbetween,but there was still some other slight variations in land to make it more interesting,but they failed to do so.
We played when it was pretty windy,and since it was very open it was a very interesting round,I think for anyone just getting started,or anyone in the immediate area,playing the front 9 twice would definitely be enough,or even making some of your own holes using the small water and some more interesting routes.
Also something else to add,there are no trashcans and I believe there was a bench maybe around hole 12 or 13,don't quite remember.
For the front 9,you won't need anything besides a putter and a midrange on a couple,but if you were to play the back you will need something a bit more,there are a 3-4 500+ Including a 650 & 820 foot par five's,but you won't need anything for line-shaping,it's all the same.
