Covenant Village is situated in an absolutely gorgeous area, just a short ways off the highway. Getting in touch with them was relatively easy, and we had the place to ourselves on a Friday.

The front 9 plays as a series of shorter/tighter wooded holes, while the back 9 plays more in the open. Each loops back to the bunkhouse area.

The teepads were in decent shape, definitely shorter than ideal, but very usable. Several of the holes have interesting shot shapes, and in particular holes 10 and 13 have great bombing drives downhill.

We played after a solid 1/2" rain in a few hours, but did not find any of the footing to be slippery, so the course appears to drain well.

The biggest detraction is navigating the course. It appears to see very little play, and so the foot trails between holes are very hard to see or overgrown. There's no sign that indicates directions (there are some painted rocks marking trails at times), and no sign/painted marker that indicates what hole a teepad is for.

Holes 6 and 8 did not have obvious teepads, I suspect they use the camping platforms, but because of the slick conditions after the rain and some crumbling boards, we played off the trails in front of them.

Hole 14 plays over a blind hill into an overgrown thicket around the basket. Hole 15s teepad was hard to find as it was overgrown, and the fairway was littered with stiltgrass. We stopped playing at that point, and walking out 16's fairway, there is no way you could avoid losing a disc as it is a 500+ foot par 5 with a fairway that is exclusively knee high thick grass. We did not play 17 or 18, but they are in the same grove, so I suspect they are the same. That entire section of the course would need to be significantly whacked down to be playable.

As other reviews have suggested, the potential of this course is high. Whoever designed it clearly had a vision for how the course should play...and the options in the area are very limited. But between some overgrowth, lack of signage, etc, its very hard to recommend.
