Pros:
- Much more elevation change on the back course, a nice mixture of up hills and down hills
- A lot more technique is required to shoot well on the back than the front as it's much tighter and much more technical
- Excellent combinations of turns and hills to make a lot of unique shots
- Many holes ace-able
- Lots of wildlife around on the back course, I saw deer, rabbits, and some cool large birds
- Camping onsite
- Map available
- Concrete tee pads
- Beautiful creeks come into play on a few holes with nice bridges to cross them
- Innova baskets are much easier to see, and they help separate it from the front course
- No one on the course but me
Cons:
- Only open on certain weekends
- 15$ per person pay to play
- No tee signs
- Lots of blind holes. If you haven't played this course before you will probably need to walk up some of these holes to check where the pin is.
- Spotters would probably be a good thing on a few holes
- Though slightly bigger than the front course but there is still nothing huge here.
- No bathrooms around
Other Thoughts:
Splat Hill's (aka Browns & Bows) 2nd course on the property is a step up from the front course. It adds not only distance, but rougher terrain and more trees to the mix from the front course. While the front course feels more like a park, this course feels more natural, like it belongs there. There are still park like touches like the front (bridges, concrete tee pads and such) but there aren't all the planted trees and flowers and such it's much more of just what would be there already. There was a lot of wildlife around the course that was cool to see, I saw a family of deer, a jack rabbit running across the field, a hawk swoop super low to the ground (probably grabbing up a mouse or something), even frogs and little fish around the creek. The holes are a lot more technical and will require you to pull more shots out of your bag to shoot a good game. The first hole on the back is a prime shot for a low hyzer skip ace (I almost hit one my first time throwing it, I just hit the chastity belt). There was a nice mixture of holes that play to the left, to the right, straight ahead, uphill and downhill. This course is much more fun than the front course and definitely helps make up for the 15$ per head cost to play. Though some nice tee signs would defiantly help me feel a little better about paying so much.
