Another decent course for the area 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 27, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-a decent option; fleshes out the area

-decent use of the property in regards to trees/mandos/types of shots needed; there are some fun holes here

-decent signage at tees

Cons:

- layout can be a little confusing for first timers, refer to map at hole 1; most of the problems are on the front 9 and I think could be remedied by simply adding numbers to the baskets themselves

-no benches or garbage cans, not sure about bathrooms but I doubt it.

-watch out for golden silk orb-weavers (banana spiders) on the "swamp holes" 6, 7 & 12

Other Thoughts:

- natural tees

- 1-3 play like 3 parallel lines ( /// ) along Moffett Rd. so you kind of zig-zag from the baskets back to the next tee. The aforementioned "swamp holes" 6, 7, & 12 are potentially a bit messy. 6 is also missing the basket (I used the basket for 12 which isn't too far away).

- 6 & 7 are an interesting pair - they have fairways in the academic sense of the word i.e. space between the tee and basket. 6 plays into the woods, 7 is a thread-the-needle shot out of the woods. Errant shots are punishing despite the short distances.

-From 8's tee it can be confusing which basket you're going for despite the mando ruling out one of the baskets to the right

-11 goes through a small corridor of trees to a basket on the top of what seems to be a small berm with nothing in the middle of it. You have to be careful not to overshoot or you'll end up down in it, but personally i think it'd make the hole a lot sicker if the basket was in the middle of that area. it'd make it a blind shot into what looks like a hole in the ground.

-12 is currently ridiculously overgrown and plays into the same area as 6 & 7.

-16 plays along the line of trees to the left with the basket out of sight in between a dirt mound and one of the buildings.

-18 is another fun little blind shot w/ the basket to the right behind foliage. Pretty enjoyable course if you can survive the issues I described with the front 9. Just my opinion though.
