Cedars = great potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Creatively designed in tranquil mixed habitat on church property. 7 holes playable, #2 and #3 are fundamentally not playable. #2 currently has no tee + works across the main driveway. #3 in its current form is preposterous and creates near 100% risk of disc loss. Recommended mod's to #2,3,7 and 8 noted below. Baskets excellent.

Cons:

#1 Requires controlled drive, anything left is probably lost, anything right may hit a car in main lot. Also your approach spans very thick grass = more risk of disc loss. #2 Unplayable, currently no tee box + plays across the main entrance. Should be redesigned as short par 3 w/ fairway coming back parallel to #1. #3 Unplayable as is, risk of disc loss near 100% even for a pro. Alternatively one may tee from just below the existing #8 tee, creating a neat 50 yard downhill hyzer tee shot and decent par 3 w/ minimal risk of disc loss. #4 Playable but risk of disc loss on any drive that fades down slope to left (onto private property). #5 and #6 Playable though heavy grass = risk of disc loss. #7 playable IF you tee from the mowed area just beside the existing tee box (which is buried in overgrowth). #8 Playable if you tee from a mowed pathway 10 yards uphill of the totally buried tee box (this mod creates a lovely, long hyzer drive to right of the trees). #9 playable but risk of disc loss in heavy grass both left and right.

Other Thoughts:

The designers deserve praise for putting great thought and effort into this promising layout. With a few tweaks as described this can become a very fine 9 hole layout with reduced disc loss. The signage is becoming good with business sponsors posted on schematic signs for most holes. Perhaps sponsors would be agreeable to a small upkeep donation (say $25 per year), payable to person who performs upkeep for that hole..... a/or sponsor might donate upkeep effort for their hole once or twice a year. With a few adjustments this can become a fine 9 hole course.
