Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy access and entirely under the tree canopy, this is a welcome addition to an area with a dearth of courses. Navigation is mostly self-evident with nice discreet arrows which helped keep the focus on playing the course versus wondering whether I was throwing to the right basket. Interesting balance of similar 220-260 foot holes on the front nine stretching out to closer to 325-385 range (est.) for the majority of the holes on the back nine.
Lovely baskets that catch well and some abandoned truck parts add character.

Cons:

The lack of a map / tee signs / distance markers made the latter half of the course more problematic with some blind holes that required various degrees of scouting to get a clue. At least one hole had a fairly ridiculous narrow causeway through a thicket of trees reducing risk/reward to curse/luck.
Tee pads are just dirt in a 3-sided log box for now. There is some old barbed wire in places that is hard to see and could be hazardous when retrieving an errant disc.

Other Thoughts:

Rocky outcrops felt underutilized near holes 5 / 11. There were too many 'straight' shots, i.e. basket placed straight ahead with the variety provided by different lines through the trees. Would have preferred more dog-legs, downhills, etc., although there are some of these in the latter part of the course. Don't forget the bug spray!
Clearly a lot of work has been done and this will only get better - esp. with usage / participation.
