A rvisit with an old friend 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 2, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Last time I played this course was some six years ago, and now for an update on my most recent round:

-They have totaly redesigned this course in the six years since I last played it and wow!!!!

-New cement tee pads, old ones were blacktop and beat up
-New tee signs posts. they have placed the signs on 6 x 6 posts and added hangars on each one, so you can hang up your bag while waiting to tee or teeing off.
-A couple of my old favorite holes still exist (#8, where you ride the edge of the water and around to the basket, blind shot, #11 where it's 10 feet behind a tree and perfect dead on aim can still bring an ace.)
-Last I remember was a 9 and now an 18 holer (missing 5&6, but looks like they will be up soon)
-Many baskets play close to the woods and water, so careful planning of shots are a must.
-Garbage bins at every tee, to help keep the park clean
-Regular bathrooms and a porta pot available.
-Nicely trimmed grass, just like in the old days
-And last but not least, the same friendly guys and gals I remember out and about playing.

Cons:

-Holes 5 & 6 not yet completed
-Tee for #7 and 9 are lined up next to eachother, so may have to wait to tee if on one of those two holes.
-A couple fairways play close to eachother or across eachother, so need to watch for others.
-They took out the old #6 hole which back in the day was my most favorite, and challenging (but the overall new design and layout was great)

Other Thoughts:

-Pizza Ranch across the street, with a lunch buffet
-They reversed the course layout and with the new design it through me off at first, but was worth it.
-Once the other two holes are finished, will be back and for sure raise the score on this course.
