Pros:
After three holes, I was thinking that eighteen holes more like this and Jet Stream would be one of my very favorite courses. I cooled off a bit as the course progressed but it is possibly my favorite niner as is and well, man, those first few holes.
The first isn't a signature or anything but it's just a beauty of a wooded RHFH anny line with a distinct woodchipped fairway, the kind of solid hole that is the bread and butter of most 4.0s.
The second hole, that is a signature hole. Across the water to a hanging basket that sits on a cliff above the pond. Throw isn't high enough? It's rumbling back into the drink. A risky shot, but what a reward. You basically hit the green for an easy deuce or go OB. Still, the best part may be how well the hole is designed for different ability levels. The blue tee is directly across the pond. Go big or go home, as they say. The white tee is offers the chance to hyzer out to the left side of the pond and safety while the red tee offers beginners a short carry to a big landing area about fifty feet from the pin and at half the height.
Three isn't as spectacular but it might be even more tough. There is no cliff on the opposing side, but is a looooong carry from the blue tee. And yeah, it's elevated so long hyzer bomb is just going to look beautiful over that water. The white tee, again, a shorter carry and then a land approach, while the red tee this time avoids the water alltogether. Again, the different tees don't really shorten or lengthen the hole: they just shorten or lengthen the amount of that is over water.
Seven is similar to one, it's a longish wooded hole, but the line here will be more appealing to a RHBH slight hyzer. Again, the kind of hole that I would not expect in South Florida.
And then there is nine. Across the water one more time and the pin is high. From the blues, this one is even harder than two. Carry the lake, keep it high enough to land on top of the cliff and, oh yeah, most of the approach to the basket is blocked this time. It will be severely tempting to try and land much further to the right of the basket where there is more space but will likely result in a three at best.
So yeah, Jet Stream has signature holes.
Cons:
The rest of the holes aren't bad. But they pale in comparison to the better holes here. In particular, five and eight obviously serve to maneuver you around the property. They run a little close to park roads and seem a little bit like filler. Still, if everything is finished, and the back nine match up to the current nine, this is a 4.0 with 4.5 potential. The top holes are that memorable. But I don't know of the terrain is available to make another nine this good.
And as of now, the course is still a work in progress. Download the map, because you will have difficulties otherwise. Navigation aids are minimal. I assume those are coming. I'm assuming cement tees will go in as well. (Just grass and colored markers now.) The tee signs are nice but it is definitely unfinished.
Other Thoughts:
Already one of the best courses in the area. Bring the map until its finished but it is very playable.
