This course is a welcomed addition to the area! Everything but the tee signs are in at this point and it's looking really promising. The Prodigy baskets are fantastic. EVERY hole has 2 distinct teepad locations. Those teepads are all big, grippy, and level. At the first tee, you can pick up a really well-done scorecard and a satellite image map overlaid with the hole lines/distances. I'd definitely label this course as open and long, but there's enough elevation, tucked away greens, and gaps to hit to make this a fun play. Hole 2 embodies the overall vibe here. It's a 923ft long dogleg that allows a few open rips then a precise, narrow approach to a risky basket location. There are also two beautiful holes with a pond in play. The man-made OB is well marked with mowing and white stakes that help you visualize the OB throughout the fairway. Navigation is pretty simple despite the current lack of tee signs. Overall this is shaping up to be a top-notch course.

Great times all around until I got to 15. 15-18 were pretty vanilla. They were basically open field holes that relied on man-made OB for any kind of challenge. Other than that, one small gripe would be lack of shot variety from the tee. I grabbed my colossus for maybe 8 or 9 tee shots.

Graviss McDonald's was an enjoyable play that will get even better with time. Many reviewers will rightfully and understandably rate this as a 4 star course. However, for me, those finishing holes were a tad bland for this course to exceed the "very good" rating. Nonetheless, I'm happy to have this pro-caliber, nicely-appointed course in the area. Definitely worth checking out! (UPDATE 3/2/17: Went back for another round here. Trees have recently been planted--everywhere! Those marker stakes I previously mentioned to represent OB are now trees. They're young (about 10 ft) but in years to come they'll add to shot-shaping and beauty of the open 15-17 holes. Additionally, there's also new aesthetically-pleasing black fencing installed to define OB area on a few of the holes. Still no tee signs to date but navigation is fairly easy anyway. Since the course was just installed in the fall, there's not any evidence of how mowing will affect the layout. It will be interesting to see how the maintenance folks will mow the vast areas of grass here. Will they focus just on the fairways or will they regularly cut it all down?? I'm still feeling good about my 3.5 rating for now, but it's clear this course will improve.)

UPDATE 8/23/17: practice basket, course map, and all tee signs are in. Also there are generously sized fairways cut short through the open areas. Some more "next tee" signs are up too. Once the newly planted trees mature, this course will be very special. Nonetheless, it's well worth your time in it's current state!
