Other Thoughts:
I went with a friend to preplay this course since it is featured in the upcoming GODG Spring Fling. Upon walking up to the first tee, I was concerned this course was going to be a train wreck.
The first hole is around 150ish ft and I thought the entire course would be a pushover. I was wrong. Hole 2 made me feel a lot better as far as challenge for a player at my level goes.
It feels like the course slightly favors a RHFH or LHBH player, but I would bet if you review the layout again, it is probably evenly distributed. We loved the mix and challenge with turns and length.
I threw shots on this course I have never used before (mostly because I found myself in jail when I missed a drive.) I threw thumbers, forehands, backhands, turbos, this list goes on and on.
I loved this course. I would recommend it to anyone. Great job!
7/13/20 Update: Due to recent tornado damage and the experience in a recent tournament, I have changed this course rating to 3.5. It feels dangerously tight quartered when the course is full of players. There is a lot of discs crossing fairways and greens. Feels a bit dangerous with discs flying everywhere. This is not an issue during casual rounds.
