Used to be my favorite course, could be again if maintained better 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Good tee pads (16 are concrete and 2 are outdoor carpet)
- Nice layout of course for the varying terrain
- Good distances for beginner/intermediate players
- Technically challenging for even the advanced players
- In the country away from the bustle of city life
- Signs showing the hole layout on each tee pad are in great shape
- Friendly folks work there and enjoy having players come enjoy the course outside their summer camp season or when groups are not present

Cons:

- Tree limbs blocking many of the baskets, but not all of them
- Tree limbs blocking many of the fairways which is causing fairways to become even more narrow and challenging for the beginner/intermediate players (which this course was built for in the first place I might add)
- Grass/undergrowth at least knee high, if not higher, as soon as you get off the small foot path on most holes
- Must wear long socks and/or pants unless you want to take a chance at getting chiggers from the tall grass
- Even the large open grassy areas on the following holes 1/5/6/7/8/12/15/17 seem to only get mowed once a month if not less than that. It doesn't mean these holes are unplayable, but you need to wear long socks at the least to avoid chiggers on these holes as well
- Baskets and tee pads need cleaned up but are usable
- Several of the concrete tee pads are either broken on the edge/corner or getting ready to break unless the washed out ground is replaced before the concrete breaks
- closed on Saturdays which is their Sabbath day of rest and during their summer camp season (June-July) or when groups are present (pretty much every weekend from April through November (unless groups cancel)
- Signs pointing to the next tee pad are missing on most holes
- Horses have been ridden on some of the holes so be ever watchful for the horse poop since the piles are rarely picked up

Other Thoughts:

I felt like I needed to jump in to this review dialog between discsarefun and Shadrach3. Both of these players seem very passionate about this great sport and there is no ill intent on either part that I can see. Both players have some great points and neither one are wrong in their assessment of the course. I cannot say that I have played this course more than anyone but I have played this course since it was built. My father-in-law and brother-in-law are the ones who basically built this entire course. The sad part is that my father-in-law won't even come play the course anymore because of the lack of maintenance on the course. It would not take much for this course to be great again but the current management does not take the time to actually maintain this course properly. It really hasn't had the attention it deserves in about 2 years since my son went out and trimmed up the course. I have spoken with the management at the camp and have agreed to give them some of my time to help get the course back to the way it used to be. I am hoping this can happen before the last weekend groups are done for the season so the course can be ready for all of us to use during the camps offseason. This will only be a band-aid fix though as the course will need constant attention going forward or it will get back to its present state again.

It would be great to get tournaments out here again but given the current state of the course, that might be a while yet. But, who knows, things might change faster than expected.

I will provide an update to this review once the course has been properly "manicured". Until then, come enjoy the course if it is available because it is a technical challenge!

02/10/2022 Update...the course has had most of the trees trimmed that were obstructing fairways and baskets. Since most of the course is on Army Corps property, no trees could be cut down. For now, the course is fairly decent. I will go through one more time and play the course to see if there is any additional trimming needed but I would now rank it higher than I did before. However, there are new zip lines going in through holes 17 & 18. These 2 holes are currently playable but when construction begins, both these holes will most likely be closed throughout the construction period. So, call ahead and come enjoy the course!!
