Pros:
Flip City - Is it all it's hyped up to be? The answer is absolutely. I recently traveled from Ohio to play this breath-taking course. At first you wonder how could there be a course out here in the middle of nowhere? ( literally you drive down a dirt road for 3 miles, every house I passed people waved at me, it was strange but made me think they barely see anyone, and then thoughts of 'Deliverance' came into mind.) Anyways back to Flip, Bill (Flip City Owner) puts A LOT of time and care into this beautifully manicured course. By Hole #1's tee box there is a donations box and a scorecard box, so be kind and donate at least $5 to play this course considering the time and effort Bill puts into this course ( Trust me it shows). The scorecards are pretty sweet I must say, I will be sure to post a picture of what they look like. Just a little tip BRING BUG SPRAY! mosquitoes were getting me good .There are brooms at every tee pad to sweep away the sand, tables are just about everywhere which is nice cause if you need a breather it's nice to sit , relax, and enjoy the incredible view of this massive course. By the Hole 14 & 8 split there is a really neat shelter with a picnic table, be sure to have your Sharpie ready. So here we go hole by hole ( Pro Tees Only ):
Hole #1: 250' straight shot, there is a 30' long by 6' tall mound that's no more than 20' away from the tee pad so it makes it a blind shot.
Hole #2: 502' Great hole that cuts across the owners front yard. At about 300' you hit the first set of trees, so a low long drive is key on this hole.
Hole #3: 374' Down hill shot, seems easy but you have to have another low right turning drive due to trees creating a ceiling and the baskets location is middle-right fairway.
Hole #4: 293' Uphill shot with basket hidden behind the trees.
Hole #5: 179' Short Uphill blind shot. Pin located to the left of the fairway and with the elevation change be sure to watch your disc. Since the shot goes from uphill to a slight downhill your drive can easily roll down the side ravine by the hole.
Hole #6: 286' Ravine shot that can be deceptive. It may not look far but the pin is set deeper than it looks. A hyzer shot is ideal for this hole.
Hole #7: 303' This hole has a decent dog leg left with the pin located on top of a steep hill, but be careful not to over shoot the hole for the pin location is only about 5 feet away from the woods. Another Long high hyzer shot is Ideal, that is if you make the tiny window gap through the trees.
Hole #8: 252' Slight downhill, Pin is hidden behind a line of trees. Behind the basket it continues to slope down so if your tee shot is long be prepared for a up putt.
Hole #9: 187' uphill shot, basket is straight ahead inbetween two trees.
Hole #10: 180' Uphill shot with a sharp dog leg left. Pin location is on top of a hill so watch your disc and have a good line on it cause it could end up anywhere on this hole.
Hole #11: 344' Beautiful hole, Rock formations, straight shot over a ravine with pin location on the side of the hill, once again be careful of your putts they can easily roll back to your feet with this pin location.
Hole #1A: 260' Fun hole, downhill shot with pin location in the middle of a split tree. Your ok if you go a little long but more than 60' behind the hole you will be in some thick grass and trees.
Hole #2A: 670' Longest hole on the course. Straight shot with a wavy terrain, fairway goes up and down and pin location is hard to see till your second shot and for some their third shot. A line of trees are in the middle of the fairway roughly 250' out. There are 2 gaps in the fairway best shot would be a low hyzer skip shot to clear the tree line and put you in the opening of the fairway.
Hole #3A 306' Tough hole, throwing through dozens of scattered trees, hopefully you get lucky and make a gap. Some brush tall grass behind the hole so try not to go long on your approach.
Hole #4A: 270' Straight shot with rough on either side of fairway. The fairway is roughly 50' wide and pin location is behind a large tree.
Hole #5A 368' Another tough hole, trees guard the pin about 300' from tee pad, there are a few gaps but it would be a great shot if you made one.
Hole #6A 395' Straight shot with a tunnel fairway with ceiling for roughly 120', then it opens up with a pin location on the side of a hill. Also there is a rock formation 250-275' in the middle of the fairway but really doesnt effect your shot that much.
Hole #12 267' Straight shot over a ravine, going long can get you in trouble so keep an eye on it. Just another beautiful hole on this amazing course.
Hole #13 416' Long hole with about a dozen trees scattered around the hole. Trees wont come into play until about 350' so a nice drive that drops into the tree line on the left will put you in good position. Pin location is slightly to the left.
Hole #14 334' Straight shot into thick trees, look at the other tees to find your line, the sets of rocks that show where the Amateur and Jr tees give you a good line at the hole since its hard to see through the trees.
Hole #15 446' Straight shot with two trees on either side roughly 80-100' from the tee, it makes the fairway shorter but doesn't create that much of a ceiling. After that the hole opens up and allows those big drives the chance to air out.
Hole #16 477' Straight shot ( Again ) Large scattered trees throughout the entire fairway with a rough of long grass on the right and a tree line on the left.
Hole #17 172' Uphill shot with a blind pin location slightly to the right. Tee shot is through TALL scattered pine trees, there is a bell you ring to let the group behind you know its all clear.
Hole #18 195' Downhill with a very sharp dogleg right, nice midrange forehand shot for RHBH throwers. Tee shot is once again through some scattered trees.
Other Thoughts:
Its everything its hyped up to be and more. I really enjoyed playing this course ( I must of cause when I got home I realized I had taken 97 pictures.) This course is a MUST PLAY.
