Testing your skill in the wind 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 8, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

3 official 9 hole layouts with a 4th (designer secret) gives this course 36 holes. You will be forced to test all distances from putters to max distance, playing 2 layouts, I used putters, mids, fairway, and distance drivers. Baskets are single chain prodigy that catch well, the horizontal chains practically eliminate the single chain issues associated with other brands.
Great variety on holes. The different tees make most holes feel completely different. Good use of elevation and trees. Feels like a park course, with mature trees used to test your accuracy.

Cons:

The wind will expose your flaws! Damn wind!
Tee pads were constructed using dirt glue which feels great and gives good grip similar to concrete, but some holes have some damage from mowers. Concrete pads could make this a legitimate 4 star course. These pads are better than alternative gravel, carpet, or mats.
I didnt pay attention to the signs since I had the course designer showing me the ropes so I cant comment on those, but they were there and had distances.

Other Thoughts:

The different layout provide a good test for all skill levels. The white tees (middle) provided a good test for a 900 rated player. If you have a solid backhand and forehand you can score well. I'll definitely play it some more. With all the different shots required and with a soccer field by hole 1, this is a great place to practice. Mack did an awesome job on this one.

Not a pitch and putt 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Park like setting allows for some bomb style tee shots. Not a tight wooded course, but plenty of challenge. Tee signs have all the OB, mandatories, and drop zones on each sign. The red tees are fun for all skill levels, but not too challenging for beginners. The white tees are the most fun with lots of possible Ace runs, but most are not super easy. The blue tees are tough birdies if you can't throw 400+ feet, so they offer plenty of challenge.

Cons:

Not all tee pads are concrete or asphalt. The OB can be nasty and eat discs. Only 9 holes. The last two holes are adequate, but not anything special.

Other Thoughts:

Tee pads for all blue and white tees should be asphalt or concrete by the end of summer. There are a variety of shots on this course no matter what your throwing style. My favorite hole is #5.... It's a 300+ foot downhill shot to an island green.
