Wide open. No crowd. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

There probably will not be too much of a crowd here ever. It is wide open. For a community course, it's longer than most. A few nice lengths nothing to short or too long. Great new tee pads. Great baskets. They mowed fairway to guide you.

When it rains the water holes will come into play a little.

Cons:

NO SHADE at all I played in the heat it was awful. No trees.

Baskets have great cement pored but sit a few inches higher so adjust.

Not much variety.

When it does rain i fear the fairway lines will be to narrow and the reads and rough will be super grown.

Other Thoughts:

Please use the directions provided. Google does not have these new streets.

Also the 1st hole is up the hill towards the houses. Once you do that one the flow is easy to follow. They have 2 tee boxes that are for 2 holes. A circle one and one on the back.

Good walking distance but no shade.

Not the most exciting course to play 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Ah, makes the best use of the land possible (which is not saying much)
Developer is doing a good job building amenities (putting very large stones down for muddy area crossing)
Cement Tee pads
Very nice Veteran baskets

Cons:

Tee signs not installed yet
very few tree's on most of the holes

Other Thoughts:

Ok, this course was actually installed this last week. The ground is still very rough and my cart was bouncing around a lot. I talked to a local guy walking on the path and he said the grass is normally waist high, hopefully they keep mowing it.

For the most part, the course is a lot of hyzer shots where landing can be important. The only true anhyzer was playing though the electric polls on hole 18.

Hole 1 up the hill to a basket tucked into a nice little hole surrounded by short tree's. You can only see the top of the basket from the tee.

Hole 2, 400 ft down towards one of the ponds.

Hole 3 throws with the pond on your left, unless you shank it off left, the pond does not come into play.

Hole 4 is a nice short birdie oportunity throwing between 2 ponds with Indian Creek behind the basket in the rough.

Hole 5 is just like hole 3, Wide open shot with the pond on your left.

Hole 6 tee's off between 2 ponds and is a nice little hyzer with deep rough on the left side of the basket.

Hole 7 is a nice penisula style of hole with Indian Creek on your left and deep grass/rough on the right.

Hole 8 is a skip right to left hyzer shot. Basket is not that far behind the brush.

Hole 9, round tee pad throwing across the marsh. Warning, if it is not dry, walk around.

Hole 10 was hard to find, you can't see it because it is in the edge of the rough in brush.

Hole 11, long hole with the basket in a clearing near the creek

Hole 12, wide open with the basket on the hill near the road.

Hole 13, I assume you use the oversized tee box for hole 11 to throw the wide open shot to the basket.

Hole 14, reachable wide open ace run

Hole 15 throws from the same circular tee box as 9, short wide open ace run.

Hole 16 throws over the edge of the pond to the basket near the electrical lines.

Hole 17 yet again, another wide open shot

Hole 18, check the photo's, perfect mando to make it a nice turnover shot to the basket.

Would I play here again.

Well, the course is 3 miles from my house, I am sure I might play here again, but then it has been over a year sense I played my home course that is also 3 miles from my house and I am the course pro :p

In general, this is a boring course, the wind is the biggest factor because it is wide open and there is some trouble areas near the ponds.

I do not know yet, but if the developer or local club plants some tree's, this could eventually become a decent course.
