Pros:
NOTE: This course must have a new layout. There were 18 holes with 11 baskets (some baskets were used twice from different tee-pads). I never played the old design... but, the course I played is not the course I read about in the reviews below. For example: holes 2 and 3 do not share the same tee-pad anymore.
Pros:
- NEW T-SIGNS. Every hole now has a tee-sign (except hole 9... from 8 pin walk up the hill and play from the fat crack square in the sidewalk). This should make navigation much easier.
- Obviously a course at a high school is going to expose kids to the game. And, since some of the shots on this course are real quality shots, it could breed some talent.
- Numbers 2, 6, 7, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18 are really great holes.
- Demands variation in skill set... open, tight, short, long, right, left, BH, FH, overhands, cut rollers.
- Great use of elevation and terrain.
Cons:
- Hard to navigate the first time!... But, since then the course has installed NEW T-SIGNS and uploaded a MAP (under the links section), therefore, navigation should be much much easier.
- Dangerous! Not only would having multiple tee-pads firing at one pin be a hazard, but several of the shots throw over roads, next to parking lots and near places kids might want to hang out. I'm happy because those holes are dope! But, for beginners (i.e. most high schoolers) it's dangerous.
Other Thoughts:
- Since this course is on a high school, we have to be on our best behavior. Otherwise, they could yank it.
- I play this course at least twice a week now. It's a nice course with quality shots that could really tune your game.
- I will sign up as a guide... since it's so difficult to navigate the first time.
- But, if you don't want a guide here are some tips:
a) print out the map.
b) pay attention during the first 10 and you will see where the alternate tees are for the second loop. It really is a breeze once you play it once.
- My Best Score: -10
