Just Glad I Wasn't Aware Of The Dangers I Was Facing! 2+ years

Played on:Aug 7, 2015
Played the course:once
Pros:
The Oxbow DGC starts in back of Oxbow High School ((I just gotta know? Are they the Oxbow Oxes? Oxbow Oxen?). The sign on the gym wall says the course was designed and constructed by a teacher and a student (same last name). Father and his son? Big brother and little brother? Cousins? In 2003.
Anyway, there is a clever little mailbox type container there designed to hold course maps and scorecards. It now held......two small sticks. Hole # 1 starts right there by gym and plays to a basket in the trees ahead. There is a homemade sign, wooden signs throughout with the distance in yards. The course starts around the school's athletic fields, drops into the woods for the middle holes and then returns to school's fields on hole 10. Each of the tee signs has the hole's nickname on it. The course has nice Discatchers with the yellow band and numbers. The tee pads are over the board ranging from flat and level to "watch out below".
# 8 named Ski Jump is a cool little 58 yard anhyser throw down a fairly steep hill.
I like the two finishing holes 17 & 18.
There are some fun throws on this course. Unfortunately, many of these are so overgrown now, they are unplayable.

Cons:
Hole # 7 was a fun looking 110 yard slight hyser over some tall grass to a basket in the trees ahead. Exhausted after a day of playing, I threw my drive into this tall elephant type grass. This grass is over my head in places, had stickers bushes and hid boggy wetness that saturated my feet. And I hadn't read the review warning about poison ivy, stinging nettles and stinging turnips. I'm starting to itch right now as I write this.
# 13 is another hole the rough dissuaded me from throwing. It's just too grown over.
# 14 was just an ugly hole. You're throwing back towards the school but looming ahead of you is a large pile of construction debris. Yuck!
# 16 was another hole which didn't impress me. It just wasn't a good design.

Other Thoughts:
Who exactly was this course designed and built for? The students of Oxbow HS? Or the teacher who wanted a challenging course to play? If you're designing a course for high school students, keep it short, simple, open. Throw in a couple of hysers around some trees or other obstacles. There's so much room out here for a wonderful little high school course.
