Pros:
- Course is set in a large, large piece of property that is dedicated solely to discing. The only possible interference might be from wild animals here! Set around and through a big, wooded hill, there is a wide variety of hole types here. A true par 63, there are many par 3's, four par 4's, and two par 5's.
- Starts off with a long dogleg left, an open tee shot that ends with an uphill, tight basket placement with rough on both sides. Some other 'open' holes include a longish hyzer over a grove of small trees on #12, and a shot into mature trees on #7.
- Other holes move between the woods and open areas, providing a large amount of windows and gaps to hit off the tee, in the fairway, and near the basket. #4 is a long RHBH anny out of the woods to reach the open grove, getting out is key for any kind of second shot. #5 is half open, half tunnel, must hit the window cleanly to get back there. #11 has a severe kink right off the tee, and swings back left before getting back to the open area.
- Most holes are completely wooded, with carved fairways and defined lines. A good mix, like a RHBH hyzer on #13, plenty of straight shots like #3, #8, and #15, and RHFH lines like #6, #9, and #18.
- Elevation changes abound at this course, and are a major, major feature on many holes. #2 is an up-n-over shot, #3 is steep uphill shot that banks hard right up top (and a little more uphill there as well), #10 is another very steep uphill shot with plenty of length. Downhill shots include #8, which is slightly downhill off the tee, with another sharp drop in the fairway. #13 is a downhill shot with a huge slope/drop-off to the left, and #15 is a very steep downhill shot straight at the pin. LOTs of places with hazardous areas off the fairway, a bad kick or strong fade in the wrong place can mean a looong climb down into the woods.
- Cool basket placements, like #13's pin on the boulder, #14's pin on a rock ledge, and #10 with rocks surrounding the basket. Plenty of protected pins and sloping greens as well.
- Some water present as well, like a small creek in front of #16's basket, and the creekbed that serves as #18's fairway. Definitely in play in both these spots.
Cons:
- Course is definitely rough around the edges; teepads are designated with spray paint, and can be sloping, rocky, slippery, etc. Definitely helps to have the map as well. Barbed wire is also present in a few spots (like right next to #1's basket).
- Private and temporary, got to time it right to enjoy this one.
Other Thoughts:
- Top notch course; the only thing lacking are the details - pads, signs, etc. Beginners should stay far away from here, and intermediate players better bring their A-game. Experts will relish the challenges here.
