Just played here over the weekend, I threw a blizzard boss off the tee, an SPD from the fairway, then upshot and putt with a wizard.

Yay! Awesome course, awesome hole. I "helped" Juliana and Randy design it before the baskets were ever in. I didn't actually have any input. It's changed much since then. #18 used to be #17, and the basket was shorter (seems like maybe it was a 2-shot hole). Anyway, yay!

Mashy, had you played there before? You like? Was it mowed?

First time there, it was mowed. It's not quite in the awesome category for me, felt just a little on the open side. I liked the elevation and the more technical shots toward the middle and end of the course were really nice.

Hyzer Flip an ESP FLX Avenger SS a couple of times or QOLS and then a Core or Comet. Finish with Pro Pig. If it's windy Z Predator, Icon Ghost, Pro Pig.

Drive a Teebird a couple of times and then putt it out.

Oh, ha, yeah, my "awesome" was a little exuberant. That's enhanced by my sentiment. But I do think it's a great course especially for a wide range of Adv level players (too short for Pros in many cases). And yes, it definitely skews to the "open" side.
