Pros:
This is a challenging course. Plenty of distance and trees to make birdies fairly difficult. The grounds are in decent shape with several bathrooms and adequate parking that the holes wrap back around to around hole 10. This course will challenge your game. About the only thing missing is elevation and water but that doesn't hurt just how good and fun this course is. I spoke with several locals at length and they were extremely helpful and gave plenty of directions. Not too many holes under 300 and that ones that were had enough trees to make birdies tough. Loved the challenge!
I will definitely be back to play this course...of the three I played in Visalia this was the best with the other course on site a close 2nd. Loved having 2 really good courses at the same location. Whoever designed the course did an excellent job with the space. There was a bit more room to work with but extra length isn't really needed.
Cons:
Navigation is a little confusing as 1-4 play right around 9-11 (I think I got that right...difficult having only played it once to remember exactly). So I had to do quite a bit of walking to tees I could see only to walk up to the wrong one. A few tee signs were missing and the ground had a lot of ankle twisting potholes. It would be nice if signage had an arrow to point to next tee. The online map is a must and even then still a little confusing the first time through.
Other Thoughts:
This course has some seriously good potential with a few minor upgrades. Replacing missing tee signs, filling potholes, and if there was a way to not have the holes overlap so much that would be great...probably no way to do that last one...somehow I missed seeing that anywhere on the site so I thought I would point it out.
When you enter the park, go left at the split for the Championship course and right for the Outback course.
I didn't realize you had to pay to play. That would have been nice to know.
