Rec Course Guide by Rastnav--
Navigating the rec level course, a guide (layout as of 2020-06-14):

- The rec level course sits "on top of" the advanced course, and about 12 of the holes split an advanced level hole in to two different rec level holes. You play 5 of the advanced course holes, and one stand alone rec course hole.
- All of the rec course tee pads have a wooden marker with the rec hole number painted on, with a red stripe on the top. These are currently just placed on the ground resting against something.
- On 6 of the holes you will play from an advanced tee to a rec level basket. These are either a plain steel basket, with no top band, with a red stripe on the pole OR a blue banded basket, usually with a white stripe on the pole.
- On 6 of the holes you will play from a rec level tee that is right next to one of the rec level baskets mentioned above. You will then play to a yellow banded basket with a white stripe and a red stripe on the pole. These baskets will also have a white stripe and red stripe on the bottom of the basket that points the way to the next tee.
- The 5 advanced course holes that you play are the same yellow banded holes with white and red stripes pointing the way to the next hole.
- The one stand alone hole has a blue band and white stripe.

Hole by hole navigation:
- #1 through #4 are on holes one and two of the advanced course.
- #5 Turn right from #4 and go up to the advanced course sixth tee pad. # 6 is in sight down the fairway.
- #7 is the stand alone hole. You tee off at 90 degrees to the advanced course seven tee pad, a short downhill severe fade. To get to 8 go down the obvious path, but there aren't signs currently.
- #8 and #9 are on hole 11 of the advanced course.
- #10 is the first hole where you play one of the advanced course holes (AC number twelve).
- #11 tees off from the tee pad for AC thirteen, and goes to a short basket near the tee for #9.
- #12 is the trickiest hole on the course at the moment, navigationally. Keep going down the thirteen fairway looking for stairs up to bluff on your left. Note where thirteen basket is. At the top of the bluff is just a dirt patch where you play a short putter shot down to thirteen basket, which is obscured by trees. Don't be confused by the basket you can easily see off to your left when you get to the top. You don't play that basket.
- #13 through #15 are advanced course holes fourteen through sixteen.
- #16 and #17 are on hole seventeen of the advanced course. You have to go down the left hand fairway to access the #16 basket, which is tucked even further left.
- #18 is hole eighteen on the advanced course. Don't get confused by the blue banded basket here. You are going to the short yellow banded basket that is tucked left off the tee.
