Pros:
-nice signs with distance
-mach 3's and natural tees in good condition
-lots of fun ace runs
-layout flows pretty well for a campus course that plays between buildings
-perfect for students and rec players
-practice basket by the first tee
Cons:
-all short holes, only 3 over 250' and only 1 of those is over 300'
-the usual obvious safety concerns of a campus course
-does make use of trees and obstacles present but there are pretty much no forced lines to hit
Other Thoughts:
This is a fun but typical campus course. It makes use of the grassy lanes between buildings and the many small trees around campus to shape a round of nearly all ace runs. It is not much of a challenge for the experienced player but it is a good time and a confidence booster. I played my best ever round of 18 with a 42.
Every hole, except maybe 12 and 14, is reachable from the tee for most players as almost half the holes are under 200'. The course does a good job of mixing up straight, left turning, and right turning fairways. The holes do seem to get a little longer toward the end, apart from the last hole.
The obvious safety concerns of a campus course are present. The course is probably not safe or available for play most weekdays during the school year until late in the afternoon. There are lots of walking paths, roads, buildings, and other public areas that are immediately in play on nearly every hole. Pay attention and play responsibly!
A fun and appropriate course for the target audience, students and rec players. A better option for beginners than the other course in town, Elmer Thomas, which has lots of long holes and is better suited to more advanced players.
