Some potential but don't go out of your way.... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 27, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Some fun shots. Decent variety between left, right, and strait shots. Very nice new Innova Dischatchers (last year likely). 12 holes had some signs. Somewhat appropriate for family's or beginners.

Cons:

Tee pads were a cement block ring filled in with gravel. For 12 of the holes they were far too short (6'?). Many holes have design issues. TTake the first three for example. Hole 1 is wide open and short, hole 2 is an impossible to deuce (without a miraculous roller) very short par four, and hole 3 is a left to right up a hill with a questionable fairway and a pile of brush and thorns for all those who throw straight.

The scorecard does not match up,with the holes in terms of hole length listed. The signed layout brings you through 12 holes with the final few not matching what is on the ground, to what the scorecard says. When playing the 12 holes the final 5 or 6 are all very short and easy (<200). If you keep your eyes open, and disobey an arrow you can find other 6 holes. To complete the 18 however you will have to backtrack. So essentially the layout is wacked.

Other Thoughts:

There are stinging nettles all over the rough for anyone unfamiliar with that plant. It burns on contact for ten minutes but often grows next to a plant with small orange flowers of which you can wad up the leaves and stems into a moist ball, which when rubbed on the burning spot soothes the temporary burn. Nettles have small arrowhead type leaves. You'll feel them if you don't already know them!

Nice Short Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well a pro for me is its got some challenging holes that aren't that long but very technical, but at the same time half the holes are deuce/ace runs had a few close calls every time I've played so far

Cons:

It's a brand new course so it hasn't really been broken in yet some of the "rough" is really rough, some thorns and nettles. Also I guess some people would consider the short holes to be a con but not me

Other Thoughts:

Its a brand new course only 12 holes are in the ground but the other 6 should be in by fall or spring next year. Definitely worth checking out can easily be played in 45 min. or less so it won't take a huge portion of your day.
