Not Busy, For a good reason 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 27, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

When you roll up by the pond at Drake, the first tee is nearish to the water, and has some trees and water on your right and several fishermen when I was there too add some challenge.

Three is a decent hole with water long and seven is good with the canal on your right and some old growth trees. 9 is pretty long and I like the theory of the hole even though it has issues.

Baskets are discatchers and they are in decent shape for the most part.

Have some crazy OB with a deep canal along holes 6/7/8.

Cons:

Navigation without Udisc or the map on this site would be next to impossible. Most of the signs are gone and there are no pads at all.

At the moment holes 2-6 are partially submerged and super soggy.

Some of the holes are pretty badly designed and there are several that could be good if the pads were nice and the lines were more interesting.

There are also some lines that are very unsafe. If there were baseball games going on, 9 literally plays through/ around the parking lot.

Other Thoughts:

I probably won't play it again, but if you were nearby and Brahan was full you could play here probably uninterrupted.

There are worse courses, but a whole lot that are way better.
