Beautiful, but sometimes repetitive course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

* Nice baskets
* Great directional arrows, never got lost
* Beautiful pine forest
* Good tee pads and signs
* Good enough elevation changes, and mix between short holes and long
* multiple pin locations
* in a large public park with many other things to do there
* has another course directly besides it

Cons:

The main problem I have with this course is its monotony. So it starts off with 2 short holes that require straight shots, and those are basically the last holes that require them. Every hole after that feels like its dogleg left or dogleg right. I used my drone or zone for more than half the holes because most holes required a very overstable disc on a hyzer angle.

Other than its repetitiveness, there is not a whole lot I don't like about this course.

Other Thoughts:

Craighead Red course is a very fun course in Arkansas like 20 minutes from Disc side of heaven. It is located in a pine forest, adjacent next to another 18 hole course. Out of the two, it is more difficult due to the length, and the fact it is brand new, it can be rough off the fairway. It has all of the factors of a great course with great tree signs, pads, and baskets, but again I wish the designers would have not have made almost every hole a dogleg. However it is a very fun course that I recommend playing!
