UPDATED: Today was the first time playing long tees/long baskets, and it was fun! Its demanding off of the tees where it can be very narrow on most holes, challenging basket placements, and a good physical work out! I STILL Think of holes 1-4 as preparing you for 5-10, and then afterwards a recovery period. 5-10 I give a 5 rating, and that's where my overall rating is anchored on.
UPDATED: Short tees/short basket takes me about an hour, long tees/long baskets took an hour and 50 mins today, that should speed up as I become more familiar. Their seems to be at least an extra mile of walking for long/long? The other two combinations takes about 90 mins. That too should speed up.
The notable holes:
2. ADDED ON: Par 3 Long/blue 420 feet lazy dog leg right on a ridge, a gentle down slope, with a drop into a ravine. At the bottom a stream that flows into the lake. The white basket is on the way and a roller. The journey to the blue basket is narrow on the ridge clutter with trees. Best to stay on left side of fairway, and if your disc flights straight into the heavy trees on left, your at least safe.
5. Par 5 long/blue 740 feet. Gentle down slope dog leg right. Second shot, white basket comes in view which is a roller into lake and that's where the lake begins. Throwing up hill to narrow line, back down to blue basket which is a roller to lake. Trees to the left, water to the right.
6. Par 4 long/blue 445 feet. Lazy dog leg right, across a small ravine clutter with trees, with lake on the right. White basket is a roller into the lake, and on a shelf. From the shelf for your approach is a sharp down hill drop to the blue basket. And a roller into the lake.
7. Par 3 455 feet long tee/blue. Wow! Big drop off of tee to ravine area, short tee/white basket at 280 feet. is most fun on the course. White basket can be seen from tee and a narrow tunnel with trees and brush to the left and right down hill all the way. The stream meanders in front of green, and along right side of fairway, with the hill angling towards the stream. Its a fun throw! and my favorite hole on course. About 260 feet to cross stream, but a solid straight throw will do it. Blue basket is back up another hill. Walk gingerly down the hill, theirs a few steps to help you at the bottom. Very picturesque.
9. Par 3 long/blue 350 feet. Long tee has one line straight down the fairway with trees on both side, but the lake can be reached with a bad throw to the right. The short tee is straight down fairway with trees on left and right, but lake is on the right, fairway is a narrow shelf, over the shelf and your disc is gone. The fairways are hard pan. Both baskets are death putts into lake. The hole looks harmless from the tee area, because the fun is hidden.
No. 10 a par 4, 480 feet long/blue Its a hard pan fairway just like 9. From the tee across a small ravine, up and over to the landing area, with a gentle down slope. The gap is narrow with heavy trees after crossing ravine. Trees and white basket on the left, with the lake still on the right with ravine and trees, don't go down the ravine. The rest of the way to the blue basket is heavy with trees and a few lines to work with it, gentle down slope. The blue basket sits on a crown, depending on your distance to putt or approach can be a roller or a death putt to the lake.
14. Par 3 395 feet long/blue basket. This is a fun hole that has a slow moving creek right in the center of the fairway. Elevated tee box. White basket on left side of creek is a death putt, and can also be reached from right side of creek. Blue basket reached on right side of creek only, is up hill, and a roller. Moderate tree protection. Very scenic.
In my opinion:
Signature Hole is No. 18 par 4 long/blue basket 680 feet. Theirs a holding pen to the left of the tee pad, likely a dog park? There's a cluster of trees about a hundred feet down with a line thru them or stay right avoiding trees on the left. The fairway is actually level. As you get close to the white basket, another cluster of trees in the middle of fairway with a small gap or go either way around. At the white basket the fairway drops down to the blue basket, the white is a roller. The best line to blue, avoid trees throwing left to right, and blue is a roller. Behind the blue basket is picturesque of the lake and boating dock. A postcard moment. A great way to end your round! The lake shouldn't come into play?
Trouble hole is No. 8 Par 5 long/blue 585 feet. Elevated tee box thru a gap of trees, across a ravine, then up a more elevated hill with moderate trees. Aim for the white basket on top of hill, stay left to keep from rolling, and a good path to the blue. Lake is still on the right, but for the most part out of play, unless you throw wild to the right. From the white basket area the fairway becomes a gentle down slope to blue. The putting area is the most dangerous on the course to lose a disc for an approach shot, because the lake is right behind blue. The fairway is safe until about 30 feet from blue. At that point the putting area down slopes or funnels to the basket and lake. Its a death putt. You can place your approach on the shelf about 40 feet from blue to figure it out or just go for it.
