When you find the flow... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 3, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

2 tee pads per hole on most holes, Pavers or concrete but some industrial carpet. Level and grippy. Map showed multiple placements but didnt notice any collars? Played a mix of both tee pads per round and eventully played 90% of the them. (Replayed bogey holes &avoided possibility of climbing fence on #11) Baskets rusty but caught well. Shot selection and control are key. Water only really comes into play on #3,#18, unless you really go off course you could add #1 &#17. Reasonably challenging for advanced played but there are many birdies to be had.

Cons:

Saw Palmettos hurt! They are present on many holes and while they delineate fairways very well, discs going into them can be hard to find. Finding them can be downright painful! Solo play first time not recommended. Long pants highly recommended! Signs and direction are this courses problem. The tee signs that are present are only on the short pads. Conflicting information on them also. (Redesign?) Some were attached to tall posts others trees. Some long pads were marked by tree stumps but were not the right #(redesigned??) Map only partially helpful. Next tee arrows were sometimes confusing as they sometimes sent you out in a general direction and with tee sign issue...

Other Thoughts:

Overall this was a fun course that will test you shot shaping capabilities. With a little better directional signage it could grow on me. #18 over the pond could really determine how you shoot or feel about this course.
