Super fun short course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

I had an absolute blast playing this course. It is located on an awesome piece of property. Nice lake with some awesome views. It is very peacful and quiet. It has great elevation and woods. I did not see any wildlife but i'm assuming it's out there. I'm not usually a fan of super short courses but this one is unique and fun. This is a challening hike and there are a couple of dangerous areas. Be careful!

New Innova Discatchers.

Several technical tight wooded holes.

Some unique holes with elevation.

I'll pick my favorite holes on this course.
#4. 260ft. The tee pad sits atop a cliff about 40ft above the pin. Think West Park cliff shot on Arod Steroids. There is a gap in the trees you have to hit to get to the basket. Right in front of the treeline is a wide/deep disc eating creek.
#14 205ft. You throw from an elevated tee in the woods across to another elvated green. Behind the pin is a view of the lake. What a tricky birdie to get! If you go deep you are in the lake.
#2. 255ft. The pin sits 25ft below you with a major road to the left (OB). A pine tree splits the fairway so you can go left of right. The natural fairway runs downwards to the pin.
#16. 333ft. throwing from the top of the damn. The pin is at the bottom of the hill. Trees and schule on the right. Deep of the pin is a creek and damn wall opening.

Cons:

Limestone/Gravel tee pads are not level.

I played this course in the early spring and there were several holes with standing water and mud.

This course is very short.

Other Thoughts:

Bring a treat for the friendly dog on the property.

This course is located about 5 to 10 minutes off the interstate. To me it was worth the drive.
