Much improved 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good use of limited space on campus. A much more inclusive course that is approachable by beginners and the general community, as evidence of vastly increased usage after the redesign. Good signage for the first time in many years.

Highlights:
Hole 5 is a bomber, 500+ basket perched on a mound. Nice to air it out on a course that has many sub 300' holes.

Hole 6 is a really fun birdie to get, 300+ with a sharp left to an island green.

Hole 9 takes a big rip to get close on a 420' shot with low ceilings to access the green.

Holes 12-13, recently redesigned with more technical and longer shots to better utilize the forest portion of the course.

Hole 16, really nice use of elevation on a ~270' hole that plays more like 340' uphill to a beautiful green.

Hole 17 is a very good scoring separator at the end of a competitive round, especially if you play inside the rock wall = hazard as the locals do. Left to right shot shape encourages a RHFH drive.

Cons:

Lowlights: Losing hole 4, which was probably the signature shot with the RHBH flight path entirely over a King Creek (unless you crush forehands). It is now hard to pinpoint a clear signature hole, but there are many fun ones in the redesigned layout. For me, it is probably hole 16.

Natural teepads, some see them as a negative, they only bother me on rainy days. Saves on the shoe budget :D

Other Thoughts:

The local crew is showing a lot of love to the course right now. Constant improvements so if you've played since the redesign, keep coming back to check out the newest changes. Most recently (7/29/2020) holes 12 and 13 in the woods were extended. 13 is still being tweaked but they are both more fun now.
