Pros:
Aesthetic-- plays around a school and through an athletic field over a creek and through some woods. Being this close to a school and the apartments, I'm sure errant throws and people walking through will occur.
Teepads-- good and bad here. the front 9 is concrete where the back 9 is dirt. the back 9 are seriously rutted out in most places.
Teesigns-- again good and bad here. the teesigns on the front 9 are extremely nice. distances, par, hole # great!!. back 9, not so much, marked by dueling posts (in most places) the locals MAY have sharpied the info on the poles, and they may not have.
Variety/Challenge-- there is a ton of variety here. very short, longer, lefts, rights, water, meadow shots... seriously a LOT of dg in a very small course.
Risk v Reward-- the creek provides a beautiful backdrop to a lot of the holes here.and provides some risk when throwing over it!
Baskets-- nice. all here and in good shape. BRIGHT orange bands help with visibility.
Blind shots-- nice, in comparison to lumberjack, the baskets are more hidden for sure here.
Cons:
Back 9-- very short holes(in most cases) and shared baskets (and fairways) with the front 9 could cause a lot of confusion/congestion/crossfire issues.
Uncontrollables-- wet and bugs. I'm sure as the summer progresses, they get worse.
Other Thoughts:
It's odd, but I really almost liked this course more than lumberjack. one of two really good 9-hole courses I played this day.
