Pros:
Decent baskets, concrete tee pads. Interesting enough holes when they could be found.
Navigation is pretty easy on the back 9, especially if you notice tee 17 across the fairway from basket 14 so that you know you will need to walk back to that area.

Cons:
No course sign with map at start. Very few tee signs, no hole distances or diagrams.
Could not easily tell if there was more than one tee on all of the holes.
Hole 17 required a walk through part of a marsh.
Start of fairway from the short tee on #18 was too overgrown to use.

Other Thoughts:
I am pretty sure that I figured out holes 1, 2, 3, 8 & 9. I found 3 other baskets, but could not find the remaining 4 tee pads.
The basket spokes in the direction of the next tee should be taped or painted in red or blue to aid in navigation.
Seriously, how hard would it be to spray paint tee numbers and distances onto the concrete pads in blue and red for the appropriate tee.
If the issues were addressed my rating would probably be 3.0. Hopefully someone local can take charge and finish the approximately 5% remaining to make the course complete and much more enjoyable.
