(3.093 Rating) A Masochistic Woods Course.
- CHALLENGING - The Narrows course, thru and thru, is a line threading gauntlet course. Players that can routinely throw even par here, deserve a sponsorship. The first hole out of the gates is not indicative of the demands that the next 16 holes will require. Hole (2) was a punch in the face, to both me and my playing partner. (2) requires skills I apparently don't have. As an MA2, I could throw hole (2) 100 times and never birdie it. It's a snakey plus 600-foot par 4 with numerous pinch points. I ended up with a +4 for the round and felt great about it. Finishing 2 or 3 down might even bring a 1000 rated round, or so.
- UNREFINED BEAUTY - I personally enjoyed the untamed wild nature of the course. Other than traffic noise along a couple holes, the course felt 100 percent detached from the built environment. I felt peace and tranquility at the many tee seating areas while watching my cardmate continuously execute flawless tree aces. I scored the beauty aspect roughly 60 percentile. The flatness, lack of water and spots of old trash keeps it from going any higher.
- HOLE VARIETY - Someone could argue that this woods course offers only woods play, and they'd be right, but there are enough switch-ups in this aspect that I thought overall the variety was better than the average course. First off, great hole distance variation. From sub 200 to plus 700. There are par 4s here and even a par 5. The par 5, hole (13), is a double dogleg right. I don't ever recall playing a hole like it. Hole (3) is a tough dogleg left par 4 that needs a correctly distanced tee shot. The par 3s break both ways and some also finish straight. Elements that the course is missing include, big elevation change, water and boring wide-open holes.
- SOME AMENITIES - Newly installed average sized turf pads were present. I would have liked a little more room on a bunch of them, but they were level and worked well enough I guess. There are a bunch of benches at the tees, which were used several times during my round. Since the course is next to the Sinks, the course thus has access to a practice area, driving range and porta-potty.

Too much bite, too many times.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Anyone who brings a friend here for their first round ever, will be going home friendless. In my portfolio of 632 courses played, less than 5 have been both at least this tight, and at least this long at the same time. I was at times digging the brutalness, but this will be Nightmare on Elm Street to players with less than 50 rounds in the bag.
- UNRELENTING - I thought a couple holes were perhaps too insane to ever score well. I've already noted hole (2), but holes (5) and (13) are also both very tough pars. Excluding (1) and (18), there are no easy gets. One's accuracy and mental fortitude will be fully tested.
- RAW - The course was just over a year old when I played it. It's going to take years for this course to beat in well. There are tons of dead branches and tree debris scattered almost everywhere. Lots of toe smashing mini stumps and even a few rocks. Players that enjoy courses with ball golf styled pampered lawns might hate this place.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - Proper signs were not in yet, but there were hole number markings using wood at most tees. No course map was posted yet either. I would assume that these omissions are coming soon. My partner and I made a couple navigational errors even with using a nav app.

I liked the savage flavor that The Narrows delivered, but I know this would not be the case for some players. Players that enjoy easy breezy lemon squeezy disc golf, should not add this place to their wish list. To those that have played The Sinks before and thought that that was a bit too hairy, they should also avoid it, as this one is even more over the top on that aspect. To the adrenaline junkies that like heavy woods disc golf, I do recommend checking it out. As is, a 3.0 course to me with a half point of growth potential with a ton of work. It reminded me of courses such as Bear's Den near Traverse City, Blue Angel Pines in Pensacola, Whispering Pines North of Tampa and Dog River near Atlanta if it were flat.
- THANK YOU - A big thanks to my friend RocketCityRedd for driving me here. I was car-less on this day, and he picked up my bagging torch and we hit 3 courses on this mini roadtrip. This being the first of the 3. Thanks Redd!
