Some nice variety in the area 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand new course that takes advantage of some rolling elevation to carve out a fun and long course through what used to be an old ball golf course.

On a retreat center's property, it's a a real treat to play a course that's so wide open where you can really let the disc rip but not have to worry about many dogs or kids or picnics. In this area it's mostly narrow wooded courses or public parks, this is neither.

The elevation is a workout. You will get exhausted playing this course going up and down. Now I know why DGLO is considered a whole different experience on the pro tour. I'm in good shape and hardly ever winded on a course, but I was here.

Smart use of the available area to keep things interesting despite it being so wide open. The middle third plays along a very tricky rough/hedge, so you'll want to use your max power but be careful not to hyper out or turnover. The final third has some nicely carved turns around the relief that require a bit more shop shaping.

Private course, very well-maintained, new signage.

Cons:

It's a bunch of wide open holes, there's some protected greens with baskets behind trees and you do have to be careful to keep your drives low on some throws, but it's not particularly picturesque or natural. You're definitely out in the open the whole day without much shade either. There's some OB across concrete and stuff but mostly throw far and you'll be in good shape. Wish there was more variety but the landscape is what it is.

It's a workout going up and down the hills, so that may be a plus for some or a negative for others.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great addition to the local scene and a fun course that favors a different skillset than some of the other local courses. If you've got a big arm you can take advantage of some of your more accurate buddies. Great place to practice expanding your distance or getting your rollers down.
