Interesting course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 28, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Different types of shots (long open, wooded, precise) needed. Big area. Nice and (mostly) helpful signs.

Cons:

Course layout changed (holes 8-10 and around #12) compare to the course map I downloaded. So I spent a lot of time searching for tees or pins (and discs as well since I played alone). Partly overgrown.

Other Thoughts:

For a privately made course this is very good.

Non-existant 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 10, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

There was still one tonal left at the entrance.

Cons:

There is no course.

Other Thoughts:

The course no longer exists. There is a new development being put in. It would have been nice for locals to mention this before I made a road trip to play it.

UPDATE
I've played the course since it has been re-instated and it plays well. Good variety of distances, shot selection, and tight vs open fairways. It can be fairly easy to lose a disc in the long grass or in the brush on many holes. Some teepads are a bit rough, but are not so bad that you risk injury. Hole distances are typically much shorter than indicated (I'm pretty sure I can't throw 500ft). If this course was in a manicured park it would get a much higher rating. The downsides of this course have very to do with the layout; however, nicer teeboxes and trimmed fairways would go a long way at this course.
