Other Thoughts:
This course is not just a course, it seriously is a complex. It feels like you're playing in the Wild West, nothing else is really around and the scenery just gives it that vibe. You're almost expecting some wild Mustangs to roam around here. The triple loop design is perfect, you play 9 holes and end up back in the central lot for rehydration or rest. Navigation has these bright green stakes in the ground you follow to the next tee, along with an arrow in the basket pointing to the next tee. I absolutely loved the teepads, like nothing I've ever seen before. Tees were like rubber but more reliable, hard to explain but they just felt better. Signage is all very new, and usually easy to spot the basket from the tee. However, the clip design to designate holes doesn't work well, as punks will just remove the clips. The elevation, distance, and wind are what make this course a challenge. If you flip over your drive on some holes you can be further than when you tee'd. Lots of downhill and uphill drives here. I can see a powerful player desiring more challenge with this course, as huge hyzers will practically guarantee a par, if not birdie or ace on some holes (but aces are always fun.) There are just enough trees around to protect many of the baskets or block that line you want to hit. Shrubs make footing difficult at times. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how great this facility was! If you're in the area, check it out and have a spotter if possible.
