Pros:
Woodsy and shady, good for escaping the sun during hot southern summers. Challenging tight course that will keep you on your toes. Plenty of birdies to lower your score if the longer holes eat you up. Benches on just about every hole. Elevation comes into play on many of the holes, not extreme elevation but enough that you'll notice it's not flat. Concrete tee pads on all but 5 or 6 holes. Nice hike through a forest.
Cons:
-only one set of tees
-birdie holes feel repetitive, seems like there are 6 or 7 holes out there that are mid-range slight turnovers.
-navigation can be an issue. After hole 7 there is a long winding trail to hole 8, pay close attention to small arrows on trees.
-some tee signs are missing
-a couple of the concrete tee pads are too short

Other Thoughts:
I hope this course gets re-designed sometime in the future, as there is potentially a 4.5 star course out there with the terrain. There are so many trees that would need to be removed though that it would be quite an endeavor. The dense trees are why so many of the holes on Howler Ridge are short, it was a lot of work just cutting the small holes out of these thick woods.
