Unpopular Opinion 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Tee boxes are in excellent condition and most have brooms to clear off debris.
Tee signs are simple but informative, which I like.
Some holes have picnic tables which must have been a pain to move into the woods.
Park was clean! Course Map at entry to course; take a picture with your phone.

Cons:

Some lack of sign-age. I got lost between hole 9 and 10; wound up playing 14 instead of 10.
Too many trees.

Other Thoughts:

Unpopular opinion: I thought this was okay. I gave this a 3.5/5 because I know players who are better than I, will enjoy this and the course is beautiful.

Maybe this is a sign of how green I am, but I found it very difficult to navigate past the trees on any drive. On ~15 holes, my initial drives were interrupted by trees.

I found a few of the fairways to be incredibly narrow (lookin' at you, 17). Typically, my drives bank a little which made getting through these narrow fairways, without losing my disc to the woods, impossible.
Given the number of trees, and the distance of some of these holes, I would seek to add a stroke to most of the pars.
