Other Thoughts:

What a vast improvement over the original course.

This course didn't have the best reputation for it's upkeep. But some money has been put into the course bringing it up to being a top notch course. Mike Olse does it again (he redesigned the Met and RoyG) He took an ok course that was neglected and turned it into a course with some bite. He did keep the best holes in place, but he was able to expand the course to be longer and flow better.

There are several par 4 holes. But with good disc placement or a big arm, they can be birdied or even Eagled.

Decent variety of shots too. Tight fairways and a couple of wide open bomber shots. Left shots and right shots too.

2 holes really stand out. Hole 4 is 558 with the last 100 foot being a pond. Talk about risk reward. If you go for the 3, better make sure you clear the pond.

hole 18 is 547 and while not the longest hole on the course, disc placement is key unless you can throw an "S" shot 550ft. There is a gap in the trees over the creek, then the basket is raised on the right.

Would I play here again? I really enjoyed playing this course, I would love to play a tournament here. From what I have seen, the local club got the upgrades to this course done to be able to hold a tournament here.
