Pros:
-Goals in good shape
-Tee boxes in good shape
-Several longer holes that let you stretch out and drive.
-All water I encountered was shallow which made discs retrievable.
Cons:
-Grass needs to be mowed badly.
-Stickers from grass in fairways and rough get into shoes and socks and make life miserable.
-While long in places, there is not much technical challenge.
-Appears the signage for hole length is wrong according to updates on this site. Some holes are WAY off.
-Confusing flow after you finish hole 11. I knew where to go because I figured it out last time with help, but hole 11 and 12 are way too far apart.
-Hole 18 tee needs to be pruned a bit. Don't try to break limbs with your hands. That tree is quite spiny.
Other Thoughts:
I first played this course over a year ago, but did not rate it because I was brand spanking new to the sport. I made a trip back with a friend to play Monday.
Hole 1: Simple RHBH hyzer to a blind hole location.
Hole 2: Straight drive into the the prairie grassland witha couple of small trees that really do not come into play.
Hole 3: Long drive into tree line. If you can drive the trees, the hole is easy. If not, then navigating the tree row to get to basket can be tough.
Hole 4: Gap drive through willows and cattails. My drive clipped the willows on the right of the gap, and I thought I would never find my disc. The deep fairway grass and knee high rough made finding discs difficult all day long.
Hole 5: Nice drive from top of mound to basket on the bottom. Mound is a good backstop to a RHBH hyzer drive. So this is very forgiving. Just don't end up on the left side of the dam.
Hole 6: Narrow open drive along the woodside with a goal tucked into the woods to the right.
Hole 7: Long drive with easy uphill approach. Wide open to cover mistakes.
Hole 8: Another lengthy open drive that covers mistakes. Nothing too difficult here.
Hole 9: This may be the signature hole for the course in my opinion. Elevated drive to a goal tucked near the water. Short shots are punished, and it is difficult to know how a disc will travel over that much elevation change if you are not use to it.
Hole 10: Straight shot to a goal buried in the trees. I personally did not like the goal being so close to the trees here. I hit basket with a long putt that skipped under the tree. Made the comeback putt very difficult.
Hole 11: Long open drive with almost no risk. Goal is literally tucked into a tree. You cannot go long and still have a putt at this.
Hole 12: Short drive to a goal tucked directly behind a tree. No risk here, so go for it.
Hole 13: Short drive to an unobstructed goal. Little risk, so go for it.
Hole 14: My second favorite hole on the course. If you can get your drive to the trees, you will be fine. Whatever you do, do not stop short and left of trees.
Hole 15: A well placed drive through a line of trees will leave you parked for a bird or easy 3.
Hole 16: Another low risk drive to a short hole. There is water to left, but it is shallow and should not come into play.
Hole 17: Short blind hyzer similar to hole 1. This would be much tougher if there was water in the ditches surrounding the goals.
Hole 18: Straight drive with water to the left and poison ivy to the right.
Overall, I liked being able to use my favorite driver so much. But the the stickers and the height of the grass made life miserable. To be fair, I am not sure the designers had much to work with as far as terrain goes. I also personally feel the goals on 10 and 11 are too close to trees. But, I can understand grasping at anything you can to add some difficulty to the course.
