Not sure what I'm missing 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

If you want to throw long open drives all round time and time again, this is the place for you.
If you want to get a LOT of exercise and hiking in, this is also the place for you.
Signage was top notch, navigation was fairly well shown.
The shade and holes by the pond were very nice and the parl atmosphere is very relaxing and enjoyable...it was hard not to just relax by the water for an hour or so!
Wide open fairways on many holes.

Cons:

Distance for distance's sake...no real challenge or obsacle, just 600 plus feet of open field to throw a disc across.
Some holes could be broken up into 2 separate holes, I.e. 11 was just a long 400 foot drive, then an abrupt lefthand 90 degree turn and another 100 feet, 15 was a 200 foot open drive and then 90 degrees left and a 200 foot uphill corridor.
A lot of backtracking to get from each basket to the next tee unless you play red tees.
When there is a huge hill, why not drive off of it for a spectacular drive? Instead, hole 17 plays along the top of a hill through a tree corridor and any hit to a tree or disc not landing flat will roll 200 feet down the hill...not very fun.
Not so much challenging as long, ardouos, and repetitive.

Other Thoughts:

I have now played in 5 states, 30 plus courses over 5 years.
I say this to state that I am not a beginner or novice and play quite a lot.
I drove an hour to this course since it is ranked best in Ohio.
I reread all the reviews and must have missed something.
Aside from being ver very long, this course has little else noteworthy about it. It is not bad, but there are much much better courses in the NW Ohio area both for challenge and variety of shot as well as overall fun.
I played 12 holes at par, one under, and the rest within 2 or 3 of par from a mix of the blue and white tees, and would not make the drive to this course again.
Check it out if you are in the area, but IMHO not in the top ten courses in Ohio.
