Other Thoughts:
I played this course while I was in the area to camp at nearby Flandrau State Park and found it to be a pretty enjoyable course. Aside from the fact that I could not play the first 4 holes, I found holes 7 and 8 to be the most enjoyable since they offered the technical challenges of weaving through trees and throwing a steep LHBH hyzer over a hedge. Besides these interesting holes, I found the majority of the course to be a bit monotonous with several straight, open 400+ length holes that I primarily used to experiment with my long game. Nevertheless, I must say this course was very straight forward and a joy to play despite the openness. I walked holes 1-4 to investigate whether they were open, and wish they were since holes 2 and 3 offered a couple of LHBH anhyzer shots. Altogether, once these baskets are reinstalled this will once again be a well-rounded course. The only con is the condition of a few of the tile tee pads. With a little bit of attention and minor repairs, this course will look good as new again. I would highly recommend playing this course if you are in the area.
