Air It Out! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 17, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

I gave it 3 stars for one reason, after playing Westover Park you should come here and play 9 wide open holes where you can just let it go. It took me about an hour to play the course.

It's like a great field practice round on testing out your distance throwing accuracy.

For the layout of the land it's put on it was done about as well as it could be.

The natural tees were okay and the tee signs were nice considering the course.



Cons:

It could get boring but it's only 9 holes and by that time you are finished. On a hot sunny day there is not much shade so you will feel the heat on this long walk.

The long walk from 6 to 7 is kind of a pain.

The layout of 8 & 9 and the basket placements do not make sense.

Other Thoughts:

This course is about as good as can be built on the land available. (8 & 9 need to be redone)

Just bring you longest driver and a putter for this course.

Let the Big Dog Loose!

Side note: As we were finishing up there was a security type person in the distance checking us out. But they never bothered us just making sure we weren't up to no good. But that's another post.

Great setting, navigation soon to come 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 1, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Proximity to Campus (exposure to the sport for students/community)
-Good variety, given the land
-Hole #4 plays over a pond which makes for a really pretty hole.
-Can be played in under an hour
-The course plays mostly in maintained grass so little chance of losing plastic
-maintained by the College

Cons:

-Long walk between holes #6 and #7
-AS OF NOW: No Tee signs, Course Sign, or Tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

As is noted in the description of the course, the tee signs, course sign and tee pads have either been ordered or are currently in the process of being ordered. While, the course may not be a "destination course," it does make for a fun and relatively quick 9 hole round on a college campus and is less than 5 minutes off of interstate 81.

If you are in the Harrisonburg area it is certainly worth a trip over to Bridgewater.

Once again, the course should be more navigable very soon so please check out the course if you get a chance!
