Cons:
It's very very new and not done yet. I put this in as a con. The course is NOT done yet.
A few of the holes have pretty long walks.
The rough is THICK,

Other Thoughts:
So, I contact Bo Kirk to tell him I will be in his area this week to collect a few courses including #1800 that I planned on being Eagles Nest. (A UDisc top 5 courses of Mississippi) He told me he was about to install the last baskets at his new course and would wait so I was the first to play it. he really wanted it to be my #1800th. Shoot, he even had the local paper reporter out to walk a few holes and interview me.
Anyways, Bo created a BEAST of a course. It's only been 3 months since he started and I can't believe the work he has put in so far to get this course into playable condition.
Multiple par 4 holes and I believe 4 par 5 holes are included. Of course there are 3 sets of tee's on every hole, Blue (shortest) White (the ones I played this time) and Red's (Champions/longs)
Only a few of the holes would be park style, most of the course has been carved out of the woods. Nice elevation changes on some of the holes, not extreme, but adds to the challenge.
I think even from the whites, only a few holes were around or under 300ft. The shortest hole on the course has the lake right behind it and it's downhill. Overthrow the basket and your disc is wet.
Hole 7 is probably the signature hole. it's one of the par 5's with a lake crossing to the basket. I got off the fairway, hit a tree at lakes edge and another tree near the basket taking a 7. I really want another crack at this one.
The signature hole for the back 9 would be hole 18, A good finishing hole as it is a 1000ft hole from the Red tee box. it throws WAY down a pipeline clearing to an open field, the basket is on an island to the parking area. Come up short or long on your upshot and you are OB.
I can't say enough good things about what this course will become. It isn't perfect right now, but give it some time. Bo said he is doing more clearing, leveling the ground and has a pallet of grass seeds to plant on the fairways.
Would I play here again? Oh heck yea. This will be a fantastic course when it's done. I normally would have waited to play it when it was done, but given a chance to be the first to play all 18 holes with baskets, I had to take it. I had to play 6 other courses before I got here and was pretty tired, I was dragging by the end of the round, but I still had a BLAST.
Thanks Bo for inviting me, waiting till I got there to install the last baskets and giving me the opportunity to be the first. I only wish I remembered to take more pictures. I did upload what I took.
