Pros:
For a new course the bells and whistles are very polished. These Davie Co. folks are serious about having a nice looking course. Snazzy orange Mach baskets, good tees, great signs, all that good stuff. A good pro shop down the road doesn't hurt either. But is the course actually good or is it just another Patriot (Triad Park) aka all fur coat and no trousers?
This is a 20 hole course, with the first hole being hole A and the last hole being hole B. Confused yet? Eh, it's kinda quirky. Holes A, 1 and B are fairly wide open whereas most of holes 2-18 are completely wooded. The long, open holes are nice for a warm-up/cool-down and introduce wind as an obstacle. There are some OB lines in play so it's not quite just grip and rip it.
The wooded holes are very Carolina-esque. Very technical and often very hard to decide between BH and FH if you swing both ways. Many of the greens are on very uneven ground to keep putts from being routine (love this, despite what my scorecard thinks). Not many of these holes really warrant using a driver off the tee unless you're an absolute mad lad and don't fear almost certain tree kicks into oblivion. Putters and mids should get most of your tee work because staying on the fairway is job 1.
The mix of terrain and fairway shapes is really good, nothing gets too predictable or repetitive. The creek that runs along a couple holes is a nice OB to avoid and nice to look at. Thanks to plentiful signage it's really easy to navigate the course as well.
Cons:
I'm not going to mention the muddiness of the first holes and so forth because we've had the wettest winter I can ever remember and there's not a course in the state not suffering from mud right now. I doubt this is going to be a recurring issue here like it is at say, Keeley Park.
The main con is that IMO too many wooded holes are too luck-rewarding. There's technical NC golf and then there's poke and pray and often it's a thin line between them. Davie strays a little too much into plinko territory. Many of these fairways, if you're not absolutely center-cut like within 3 feet, you're actually scrambling. Part of this is b/c it's a new course and the rough hasn't been broken in but a lot of it is the hole length to fairway width is really narrow and there's lots of splitter trees cluttering up the lanes.
I actually think the front is harder than the back because the back opens up a bit. It's longer than the front but not like you need a big arm to score well. But on the back your disc can actually breathe a bit instead of sucking in its gut trying to squeak past a barrage of trees. Hole 18 is a great example of the holes feeling a little 'half-baked" where it's not really worth it to try anything other than throwing your putter to decent landing zones and just taking the par.
Other Thoughts:
This is a solid and enjoyable course and due to not much else in the immediate area definitely worth playing if you're local. It's not horribly far from the Yadkin courses or Stumpy Creek so it's worth working in if any of those are on your itinerary. Bangin' Chains makes a great complement to the experience as well.
What's nice about the course is that it's got a little bit of everything even if it's mostly technical woods golf, thanks to the field holes. Cool pin placements, tricky terrain, and narrow lanes for your favorite gap-hitter sums it up.
