Warning this review will be lengthy:

Very nice teepads, tee signs, and baskets. Grass is usually well mowed and much of the woods have already been cleaned up even though the course is very new.

The course is very difficult which makes it good for experienced players to play to try to improve, which is something people in the area have been asking for for years. Mix of wooded and open holes. Has long and short tees but as you will see in the cons these have some problems.

There are some holes that I really enjoy, like holes 2, 3, and 10 from the long tees. I also enjoy 18, 13, and 4 from both tees.

The main issue I have with this course is with the design of some of the holes and what I would call "questionable" pin and tee placement. In my opinion, it seems like the designer was really trying to hype up this course as a championship level course and chose to lengthen some holes into par 4s when it just doesn't make sense. Hole 14 is the best example of this. It is a 450 ft hole where you have to throw under an extremely low ceiling around 100 ft off the tee, but the rest of the hole is slightly uphill to the basket, so you really can't throw it more than around 200 ft off the tee. Another hole that I have a major problem with is hole 5. It requires you to throw a rhfh around 300 ft through a tight gap, but then the problem is that the basket is around 60 ft backwards once you get around the corner which is a very tough corner to make to begin with. The laws of physics seem to prove that this shot is nearly impossible to get close. For you to throw your disc hard enough to get it to hold straight long enough to get around the corner there is no way to get it to stall to come back to the basket. It's gonna do the opposite and keep moving forward. To me the perfect shot on this hole leads to being close to 100 ft away from the long tee. Finally, now that the trees have fully grown in the gap on hole 15 has nearly completely closed up causing you to have to throw yet another awkward extremely low ceiling shot.

I recently played the short tees for the first time and right off the bat I began to question the purpose of the short tees. This is because hole 2 from the short tee is a 425 ft par 3 where the basket is almost perpendicular to where you have to throw of the teepad. It is definitely a 2 shot throw except for the monster arms of touring pros as you have to throw a monster 425 ft spike hyzer. But I'm not usually one to get worked up about pars so I just wrote it off as a par 4 and moved on. Hole 3 had similar issues though. It was another awkward placement for the teepad where you have this 325 ft large hyzer that you have to throw over trees. I have around 400 ft of power but even with the wind in my favor a good pull left me 70 ft short because of just how high I had to play it to get enough hyzer towards the basket. Hole 5 was a hole that I was hoping to see improvement but instead the tee for five cuts off the angle to the basket even more, to where what I thought was a solid forehand was still 80 ft away. Hole 14 I once again was looking for improvement, but instead saw the same low ceiling with an extremely tight gap added in right off the tee. The hole is 300 ft from the short tee and I'm still not certain I can reach the hole because of the low ceiling combined with the slight uphill.

I don't want people to read this and think that I just think the course is too tough and that I don't know how to play tough courses. Two of my favorite all time courses that I've ever played are Idlewild and WR Jackson which are 2 of the toughest courses the pros play every year now. I enjoy challenging lines that punish mistakes. The thing about Idlewild and Jackson are that you feel so well rewarded when you throw a good shot. Good shots aren't necessarily rewarded here. This course is a par fest. Throw good shots and your still likely to make par, throw bad shots and it's still very possible to make par. That's because a lot of these holes are really just awkward and limit the distance you can get up the fairway. Or they're awkward distances for the higher rated ams, being in the 450-550 ft range where your most likely not going to 2 but if you only get 200 ft down the fairway you can still make 3. With the exception of 5, 10 and 11 there really aren't any thickly wooded areas on this course. Even on 10 and 11 these shouldn't really come into play with better players. This means that bad shots really aren't punished as you can still throw your next shot to the full potential. Overall I think this course is still good for practice, but I don't think it's a great tournament course or a very enjoyable course to play due to the awkwardness on a lot of the holes. Being from the area, I'm still pleased to have a course to play where I have to throw full drives and where I'm challenged with every shot. I just had higher expectations from how hyped up this course was as being one of the best courses in the area. I still think Madisonville has 2 better courses, and I would personally still rather play the course in Oak Grove on a daily basis.

Sorry for the super long review, but this is my hometown course so I feel I need to fully explain all my thoughts about it.
