Other Thoughts:
What a great memorial for Eric Paddy.
Hole 1 starts next to the parking lot and has a great kiosk with shaded benches where you can watch and wait for your party to show up. The hole itself is a long hyzer around some trees with the parking are to your right.
Then a couple of pond shots. Hole 2 has the pond just past the basket. The pond may have been high when i took these pictures. it was a do or die putt for the 2 on this one. Hole 3 was just as close but you had to throw over the edge of the pond.
Then you have some more open shots with some distance with holes 4 and 5.
I do have a problem with hole 6, the tee for hole 7 is right next to it. So you throw hole 6, walk back to the tee and tee off on hole 7.
Hole 7 has a triple mando near the basket. You have to hit this and the basket is just into the wooded area.
holes 9 to 14 are all technical shots of different lenths. Several of them have OB lines to keep you on your fairway as these holes are pretty close together.
Hole 15 is mostly open but ends in the woods.
16 is a more open wooded hole.
17 has a mando keeping you from throwing a big open turnover and it also has an OB rough area between you and the basket.
18 is the longest hole on the course with OB cement on the left and I guess lots of casual water on the right. This one played tough trying to stay out of the water.
Then a long walk back to hole 1.
As a whole, this course has a little bit of everything. You want water, it has it. You want technical, it has it. You want long bombers, it has it.
On top of that, a LOT of love has gone into building this course. The Benches that are installed are all well made.
Would I play here again? Yes I would. While I am not a fan of the long open holes, the tight wooded area makes up for it. I look forward to playing this course again someday. For a church course, it's worth swinging by to play.
