Nice start, horrible finish 2+ years

Pros:

I was really stoked to play this course because it was new and in the town I would be vacationing in. That and because the reviews were terrible! I just couldn't imagine it being as bad as described. But man was I wrong!

Hole 1 is not bad, kind of pedestrian, just a straight shot to a basket behind a island of greenery. So far, not so bad.

Hole 2 is actually pretty good. Throw straight 270 through a gap, let disc fade to basket.

Hole 3, a little midrange flick shop, but an easy birdie. So, not too bad at all.

Hole 4 is excellent! From the longs it's a 'deuce of die' from the long. Try the RHBH anhzer shot to the basket over water, or pitch to the edge of the pond and toss across.

Hole 5 is a strong hole as well, but could use some trimming off the long tee. And it's another long S-Turn, anhyzer shot tot he basket.

So far I'm really enjoying this course!

Hole 6 is another flick, but fairly long to the basket for bird. Another pretty good hole!

Hole 7 is where things go wonky. Not a bad hole, but basket is badly positioned. Easy par or long flick to basket for bird.

Hole 8 is definitely where the issues begin. The long tee points toward...nothing. The short is over the corner of a playground...why in the hell did they do that? Could have changed the angle and made a decent hole.

After this you have mostly junk.

Hole 9 throws down a road, blind to traffic coming behind you. Just freaking stupid.

Hole 10, continuing the stupidity, throws down a sidewalk! Seriously, down a freaking sidewalk!! What in the hell were they thinking??

Hole 11...more madness, tosses over the corner of an RC Car track! Why?!?!

Hole 12 is the filler hole of all filler holes. 235 feet in the middle of a field...no trees, obstacles, etc.

Hole 13 would be better if they trimmed it. It's a long tunnel shot with no ceiling.

Holes 14-16 are ok, 14 actually pretty good. But they aren't special. Just holes.

Holes 17-18 are Boring, just stuck out in the middle of a field, though 17 does offer you have the chance to land in a pond.


Cons:

I would have to say 7 out of the last 9 holes suck, are stupid, should be pulled etc.

Another thing I hated is that there are no tee signs. Just concrete pads in the grass. You have to stumble around to find them. More dumb thinking

Other Thoughts:

Not a bad loop if you play 1-8, but the walk back to 1 is a bit of a hike, but much better idea than playing the rest.
