Pros: - Shot Variety: Great mix of open and heavily wooded holes.

- Flow: Course had a great flow and was easy to navigate. Next to hole 1 is a box that contains scorecards/map for the course. Use this to help locate the tees.

Tee spots: 5 Throw spots are marked on a concrete. Hole 1 starts on the concrete near the trash dumpster. Holes 2, 6, 7, and 8 are marked on a walking path. Holes 3-5 Loop through the woods (same entrance/exit into the woods) and have dirt throw spots marked in the ground. The marker for hole 8's Tee was moved so that it is a more efficient hole. Hole 9 is on top of the mound and also has a dirt throw spot.

Challenge: No two holes were really the same. More of a beginner course than a intermediate course but there is still challenge on most holes (distance, trees, wind, etc). Holes 3-5 require accuracy.

- Room to Expand: There is talk about this course expanding to 18 holes and there is more than enough room to do so.
Cons: - Soggy - This course had standing water when I played it leaving it entirely soggy. The wooded holes had much standing water along the path with Hole 3 being underwater. Fortunately I had boots on.

- Only one throw spot per hole - With the way the holes are marked here, it would not be much extra to add alternate throw spots to each hole. It would also add variety.

- Use of woods - I feel like they could add some more holes in the wooded portion of the course. Hole 1 would be much more challenging if it were placed into the tree line.

- Walking Path - With any course that follows a walking path, it can add wait time to the holes (See Northwestway DGC).

- The open holes were extremely open. Trees were not an issue because there were none on some holes. Very easy to save par.

- Hole 5 - I agree that luck can make or break this hole. With exception of the curved walking path, there is not much of a fairway. It could use less trees.
Other Thoughts: I specifically made a trip to the opposite side of town just to play this course and Plainfield's course. I enjoyed this course more than The Master's at Calvary Baptist Course although it was a tough decision.

This course is rumored to expand to 18 and I can't wait until that happens. It was a very enjoyable course with moderate difficulty. It does need dual tees to add to the variety of this course. Dual tees and a 9 hole expansion would lift this course to a 3.5 in my opinion. I do not have an issue with dirt or natural throw pads as long as they are not muddy like they were during my trip there.

This course is very user friendly and has potential to improve. I was leaning between 2.5 and 3. Because of the wooded holes I felt that it was better than decent/typical. It isn't the best 9 hole course that I have ever played but it was very still a very nice course. Looking forward to playing this course again.
