Cons:
Hole 12

Lack of cement tee boxes, I would rate this course a solid 4 if it had them.

Other Thoughts:
I played the OG 9 hole course. It was a mess with no tee's marked but the area had some potential. I think this redesign to 18 holes did just that. It's actually a course I would recommend now.
So now the first hole is located on the other side of the pond.
The course is a park style course for most of the holes. Lots of large trees and no rough with some elevation. The first 7 holes play around this going up and down and threw all the trees.
The tee for hole 8 can be hard to find if you don't look in the right spot, you have to cross a small creek into the rough, throw out towards the tennis courts. This area does not get mowed often as both times I have been here the grass was knee deep.
Hole 9 is tricky with the sidewalk coming into play.
Holes 10 and 11 are must get birdies with sidewalks coming into play.
Then you have hole 12. This is not a good hole, or might be a great hole depending how you look at it. Tight gap to throw though on your drive with an old Tennis court to the right. The basket is at a 90 degree turn after the tennis courts. There use to be a tree line in the back and this was a hanging basket. However the tree line has been destroyed and that back property built a storage unit place.
13 is a good shot down a natural tree lines fairway, this is a hold over from the old original course.
14 is your first water shot. This is a high risk reward shot. The green is larger than it looks. But come up too far right and your disc is gone. Throw too for left and your down the dam. On top of that you have to avoid hitting Jesus.
15 and 16 are run of the mill DG holes.
Hole 17, your 2nd water shot and the most difficult, at least for me. It's reachable, but the basket is on a narrow peninsula. I was just short and lost my driver in the pond. My upshot skipped off the rim of the basket and landed on the bank, but slipped into the pond to never be seen again. I had 5 aces on that disc...........
Hole 18 is a decent shot over the edge of the pond to a basket hidden behind an evergreen tree. You do have an OB road long.
So, I like this course other than holes 12 and 17, 12 because it was kind of boring and 17 because I lost 2 freaking discs. But I really enjoyed playing the rest of the course.
Would I play here again? Yes, this is a course I would stop at to play if I was driving though. This is a natural stop going from Jackson to Mobil AL. In fact I passed this course twice on my Florida trip a few weeks later and almost stopped to play it again.
So I gave this one 3 1/2 stars because its a decent course, but lacks tee pads to be a true 4 star for me. But if I was to ever play this course again, I am playing hole 17 totally different or just skipping it.
