Technological Breakthrough Required

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Infrastructure isn't bad there are nice concrete tee pads and tee signs on every hole giving you distance and a small map of the hole and where you're headed. Except for a few sections navigating the course is fairly simple and the course is busy enough there should be a group in front of you to watch or nearby you can ask.

There are small, gradual elevation changes through out the course that adds slightly to an otherwise uninteresting bunch of holes. There are a few shorter holes around 200 and at least one hole over 500 feet with most holes falling somewhere in between so there is distance variety here. There aren't many trees on this course but the few that line the outskirts of the grassed areas are somewhat used or at least have a basket sitting next to them with the rest of the drive and approach being open.

Cons:

Really confusing and clustered layout. When I saw this was a 13 hole course I got a bit excited thinking that the designers were looking at the best course possible and decided that 13 is better than trying to cram 18 in here and hit the magic number like so many designers do which is a huge pet peeve of mine. 13 is way too many holes here. Many holes use the same fairways and approach areas and a few holes play over and through what looks like the basket you are on but is actually a previous hole you've played or an upcoming hole you're about to play. With the baskets lacking a hole number this is extremely confusing for first time players of the course. There were quite a few other groups playing it when I did in the afternoon on a Friday and it was a bit dangerous, always had my head on a swivel looking for the next disc about ready to hit me in the head. Well designed courses don't make you do this. I think this would be a much better 7-9 hole course, you could take out the crossing fairways, have a course that flows better and be better off.

The main challenge here is distance control with shot placement and the types of lines needed are not even a factor. It does not punish bad throws even in the least and gets very monotonous very quickly.

Other Thoughts:

There are going to be some people who absolutely love a course like this but I am not one of them. I prefer tightly wooded courses and much larger elevation gain/loss and hopefully some sort of combination of the two which this place doesn't have. If you like open holes or want to work on driving air shots or even rollers this is a good place for you to go. If you're more like me than this place can probably be skipped unless you're really like me and are an addicted course bagger.

New layout, no bueno 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Not too busyFun tunnel shotA good number of grip it/rip it holes.

Cons:

With new construction and new layout, there are a couple holes that go directly across parking lots.New layout has you drive up a hill, walk back down and then drive back up. Then later you drive down the hill and walk back up to drive down again. Pretty weird.Only 14 holes now, from what I could see.Pretty much always swampy on the 4th hole.

Other Thoughts:

Seems like there is enough space that they could make this an 18 hole course by utilizing a few of baskets twice.
