Pros:
Excellent combination of distance and technicality
Great overall flow with both 9's looping back to starting area
Six par 4's that play as two shot holes for the vast majority of players
Some elevation in play, plus or minus 5 to 10 feet on around half of the holes
Good mix of L to R, R to L, and straight tee shots
Trees in play on the majority of shots outside 75' of the basket
Good sized concrete tees
Tee signs with basic info and graphic of the hole, plus some WW II history
Cons:
Single tee pads and basket positions (there are a couple of alternative pins, but they rarely see play)
Tree kicks off the fairway can be very punishing as most trees in the deeper rough have not been trimmed
Entry fee to the park is now $7 per vehicle
Ground can be a little uneven in spots
Other Thoughts:
Very few penalty strokes, not a lot of OB in play. This could be considered either a pro or a con.
The lack of alternate tees and pins would be a larger negative if there weren't four other courses on site for some variety.
I have birdied every hole, except hole 18, multiple times, and I'm certain I have bogeyed every hole, except hole 16, multiple times. This is a course that if I'm playing my best, double digits under par is possible. If my game is off however, double digits over par is also possible. I cannot think of another course I have played where such a wide scoring spread is possible for me.
AWOL is the most well-rounded course at Farragut State Park, and, for me, has the largest fun factor of the five courses.
