Pros:
The ABC DGC is set up behind the huge Arcadian Baptist Center. The ABC looks as though is has everything from a school to a sprawling summer camp across the street to tennis courts and ball fields and a gun range by the 14th tee pad.
The course also transverses everything from meadows to small jungle like fairways, over a swamp and up your alley. The signs, when available, are nice colored showing the route map. The tee pads are rubberized mats mostly covered in pine needles. The yellow Discatchers have the # on them and are easy to spot in these thick woods. There are benches and garbage everywhere. Navigation was fairly intuitive even without a map. The course plays at a solid recreational level. Intermediate players and above won't be bored here but I don't think they'll find much challenge either.
The course has some tight and technical holes, some more open field throws and the one short, over the swamp shot. The # 9 over the swamp hole only needs about a 175' carry but it gets in your head as this is really a skunk, nasty, green swamp. Who knows what lies under the green scummy stuff?
Cons:
Signs were missing on 4, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 18, I think.
The swamp lurks on your left most of the way down on # 8.
Misquitos were ravenous today.
# 6 was a pretty silly hole. It must be about 600' down a double S curving narrow fairway.
Other Thoughts:
About the time I was playing # 5, I starting hearing closeby shotgun blasts. At # 10, I realized that I was walking towards these blasts and starting getting a little nervous. I shouted out a warning but got no response. Walking up to # 14, I hear a car starting up. As the young man was pulling out, I asked him if he was the one shooting and he said he was. At least, I wasn't going to get blasted. I see there is a small gun range right there. Playing early on a Sunday morning, I hadn't seen anyone around and so didn't check in at any office or anything. I'm a poor enough putter without nearby shotgun blasts going off just as I start my putt. Airball!
