nice, fun little niner 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 8, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

-concrete pads, decent signage, bag hangers on almost all tee sign posts.
-great use of small space. The course is pretty hilly and the designer used the elevation quite well, there are a lot of downhill shots, fewer uphills, and some of the greens are nice fall away type greens.
-Some variety of shots, a lot of straight shots but some left to right shots, and one or two right to lefts.
-Girls, girls, girls...the views are very nice.

Cons:

-SUPER busy, the course is in the green space by the dorms so you pretty much wait for at least 1 or 2 groups per hole.
-A lot of non discers and the course plays over a voleyball court, so there is a lot of potential for shots to be dangerous.
-Some of the holes are ridiculously short for example hole 1 is like 130' ft uphill with nothing in front of it. 9 is kind of pointless too, 230' downhill wide open.
-Parking is a bit ambiguous, so park on the west side of the dorms, and start on hole 8.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course does it's intended job which is a fun course for the dorm residents, it is by no means tough, but it does have some fun downhill shots. I'd proobably pass on this one for everwood, if I only had time for 1 course, but I certainly wouldn't skip it if I had time.
