Good but not great 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Longer course than most I have played and good mix of shots. Concrete markers in the ground for navigation are a nice touch. Newer Innova baskets are excellent targets.

Cons:

Some teepads have still not been upgraded to concrete and are not firm enough for good footing. Since the course is so long a lot of teeshots are blind, signage with maps at each tee would be helpful. $8 a day is too much, $4 or $5 would be reasonable

Other Thoughts:

Very nice course with potential to be great when completed. Shouldn't be charging as much as they are for a course that hasn't put the finishing touches in place yet.

fun course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 16, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

well maintained. Wooded fairways are tight but have been cleared and there's not a much undergrowth so easy to find discs. quiet (you don't get the motorcycle noise that you do at deer run). We aren't long throwers so we found the course comfortable and fun.

Cons:

fairways in woods are very tight and have some tight corners.
don't like hole few feet from water. hard to tell how deep the water is and who wants to lose a disc so we skipped this hole.

Other Thoughts:

take course map or be willing to spend some time hunting for tees and baskets on a few holes. we replayed a few holes when we found the alternate tees or after initial throws when we found the baskets. we don't mind but a map would have saved some time.

Great Course! Tons of potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a great course set at the site of a former brewery near Nashville, Indiana. It is extremely peaceful and scenic here. Course is aimed for intermediate level players but will challenge advanced players from the blue tees and would be beginner friendly from the green tees.

Baskets - 13 dispatchers on site. 12 holes and 1 practice basket. These caught great and were highly visible. There are two pin positions per hole although it was not listed on site which location was being used.

Tees - 2 tees per hole. Red and blue tee. There is also a 9 hole loop with green tees that spans across the course. Tee locations had significant changes to the hole for all of the wooded holes. The open holes were shorter versions. Hole 11's water red tee avoided throwing over water.

Signs - 2 signs per hole. One at red and one at green. These were printed from a computer and laminated. Shows map, hole location, distance, and hole number. There were a few next hole signs when needed.

Variety - Course has a wide variety of shots. Elevation change is a big factor at this course. Open and long, short and technical. Several thread the needly type of shots in the woods. Blind shots on a few holes due to trees.

Room to expand. There is a large chunk of woods which would be awesome to use in an expansion. There is also land behind hole 11. If this course was 18 holes and the new holes were just as good as the current hole, I would consider giving it a 4, maybe even a 4.5 (other changes needed to be a 4.5).

Corse flowed well and was easy to navigate.

There were benches near a few of the holes 1, 7, and 10.

Trans cans though out the course pretty; 2, 4, 8, 10, 12.

The drive from not only the highway, but from downtown to the course were very scenic.

Other courses nearby if you are looking to make a trip. Deer run is a 5 minute drive. Bloomington is about 20-25 minutes away.

Cons:

Signs - Most of the signs got wet and were not able to be read. The ink from the printer bled through the paper. Other holes had missing signs. It is not always the cheapest option, but improved signage would drastically change this course, especially for first time players. 2 signs per hole, and a few more next hole signs.

I don't have a problem with natural tees but concrete or pavers would also take this course up a notch.

I played the day after a rain and the course was very soggy and muddy, especially in the woods.

Improved signs and tees would make this course a 4. Improved signs, tees, and added holes would make this course even better than a 4.

Other Thoughts:

I loved this course. It was a little bit of a journey off of the highway to get to but I would definitely come back if in the area. It was my 2nd course of the day. Although it was only 12 holes, I enjoyed this course more than Deer Run due to the elevation and wooded holes. Both courses compliment each other very nicely.

If this course gets expanded or if signs/tees are improved, I will update my review.

Perfect "Getaway" Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 7, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Super friendly caretaker (Steve) walked out to welcome us and update us on the pin locations. He then came around to check on us later in the round and made sure we could find our way around.
- Beautiful setting. One of the top three most attractive courses I've played. The property is very well maintained.
- On that note, this is also one of the more secluded courses I've played. I realize this may also be a "con" for some players. It's definitely a destination course that you set time aside for (not a great course for casual play after work, for example).
- Creative layout makes optimal use of elevation, water, and other hazards. The design incorporates a diversity of throws to keep things from getting repetitive. There's a hole for everyone here.
- Multiple tee placements provide something for everyone. I played this course with my sister and brother-in-law who had never played before. On each hole we could all pick the tee best suited for our skill and strength. This definitely helps make the course a family-friendly venue for casual players who may be visiting the park or attending an event at the lodge.
- Wonderful bathrooms - my sister wouldn't stop talking about them!

Cons:

It sounds like all the negative aspects of the course derive from it being a work in progress. I really cannot wait to visit next year when it's complete. That being said:
- Natural tee boxes were a little rough/slippery in the Autumn, but I understand tee pads of some kind are on the way.
- Signage is somewhat lacking right now - think laminated printer paper tied to a tree. Have the course map saved on your phone before you head out and navigation should be no problem.
- 12 holes will leave you wanting more! I was sad to see this round come to an end so early.
- I also listed this as a "Pro" because I prefer the secluded setting, but the course is a little tough to get to. We thought we were lost for a few minutes until the course magically appeared as we crested the hill.

Other Thoughts:

I haven't raved like this about a course since I first started playing. It's unique in many aspects including the setting, the "clubhouse" and on-site staff. The only thing keeping this course from getting a 4 out of 5 is the fact that it's only 12 holes right now, although the final layout has plans for 24 holes. If you're in the area and you have a couple hours to kill, I highly recommend trekking off the beaten path to play a round or two here. Be advised that a tee time is required while the course is under construction, but they're very prompt with communication (they answered my email within 30 minutes). It's a shame I live about two hours away, but I'll definitely play again the next time I pass through Nashville.
