Pros:
The usual amenities: Great tee pads, excellent signage, easy to identify baskets - gold and silver.
Loved the variation opportunities- two pads, long and short, two baskets placed at different lines.
I played short tees, long baskets.
The course contained enough quality holes that I even remember a few of them 5 days later as I write this:
#1 Lot of large old trees in the way as you throw down a hill.
#6 Basket on top of a mini hill with a large tree in front
#8 Blind shot to a basket way down in the corner of an open field.
#9 Down the hill thru plenty of trees to an elevated basket.
Having played some pretty boring courses elsewhere, this had variety and a few memorable holes.
Course was clean and had the look of a new course.
Cons:
I'll second the last reviewer- only 9 holes. But there are four potential variations, which if I had had time would have tried.
Other Thoughts:
I have no background of the previous course, so no preconceived notions... that said, I loved it.... Was travelling from St Louis to Chicago and went through the area too close to dusk to get a second - different round in. Will definitely stop again if I come through this way.
Best rating that I give to a nine hole course.
