Pros:
+ The most memorable part of this course is the elevation changes within it. While there wasn't a downhill 400+ ft bomb, there were 2-3 downhill touch shots that were fun little ace runs. There also weren't challenging uphill shots. Rather, there were a several (maybe like 5 or 6) that played over a valley with the holes ranging from 220 to 350 feet. In any case, they added to the variety and it was pretty fun.
+ Course equipment was solid. Good baskets, tee signs with distances, and tees were stone, though a little short.
+ Course flow was intuitive for the most part, though a couple walks were a bit long.
+ All in all a pretty fun design. Not too easy, but certainly nothing mega challenging. An advanced level player could reasonably expect to have a chance at 2ing any hole here.
+ It's free to play and quite empty. I can't imagine there ever being crowds here. It was well kept and there wasn't too much trash.
+ Of the courses in the area (Richland, Boscobel, Dodgeville), this one was my favorite.
Cons:
- I would imagine the the rough gets pretty gross in the summer (I played in November and didn't have issues). Similarly, with the sitting water in areas, I'd imagine bugs like mosquitoes and gnats would be annoying.
- This course could benefit from another set of tees to add to the challenge for more advanced players.
- Every hole can be reached with a RHBH hyzer... not too much variety in forcing a certain shot type.
- A couple of the walks between holes certainly need to be shortened. 15 to 16 sticks out as an especially long one.
Other Thoughts:
All things considered, this was a fun round. I'd recommend it to those in the area. It'd be good to have a spotter as I can certainly imagine the weeds eating discs on errant shots, especially on windy days.
