Other Thoughts:
Played the new layout for the first time Sunday. I will say it is much improved over the old layout. I will provide a hole by hole breakdown of the day below:
Hole 1: Tough little hole to start out the gate. Would it kill you to let someone get warmed up? Tough little left hand break with basket on a small bank. Decent hole here.
Hole 2: Tee sign says it is over water, but it was relatively dry when I played. Be careful entering hazard zone. Lots of cypress knees sticking up that would hurt if you tripped and fell. Several trees in line with narrow lane options.
Hole 3, 4, & 5: Not much to see here. Basic shots with a bunch of huge trees you have to dodge.
Hole 6-9: This is where it gets interesting. I would say these are the best 4 holes on the course and they are back-to-back. 6 was a long s shape flick for me. 7 is an awesome forced tunnel shot. 8 is a long flick to a hidden basket on a hill. (Really need to work on steps for the hill.) 9 is a short wooded flick for me. Only complaint is there is a lot of growth on trails at hole 9 that need to be trimmed. Cool holes though.
10-12 are basic holes you find on most courses.
13 is stupid tough to birdie with all those trees, but it is an easy par, so not bad overall.
14-15 are once again basic filler holes.
16 is a hairy little short island hole that looks simple but requires a lot of touch. Love the concrete drop zone (that I had to use.)
17-18 are more filler basic holes...
19 is very tough with a tiny hole to hit. I have decided to just layup here in the future and take a 3. Very tough hole with how it is currently cut into the woods.
20 is another basic hole to hopefully leave you with a better taste in your mouth after hole 19.
Overall decent course. It could use more cleanup, and I would say it still has potential. Clean up the tee signs, a little more trimming and cleaning. I look forward to playing the next time I am in town.
Also, FYI... the distances in Udisc do not match the tee signs.
