Nah-Biscoe Overdoughsed on Awesome

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Chips Ahoy! This place has a ton of great holes over and over again. Biscoe keeps designing these tracks and is just getting better and better with great parcels of land. It's amazing stuff, and I'm so thankful for his efforts
-Nice new baskets in good repair, easily visible from the tee with two permanent locations and differing colors to know which is which
-Great use of elevation and fall lines! Valley shots, sweeping double fall lines, awesome downhill rewards, uphills shots are technical and utilize other features rather than just throw upwards until you get there.
-This place is on the site of a ball golf course, but once you start playing the course, you would never know you were anywhere near the ball golf course. It's wooded in all the best ways. Even though the course is quite new, I felt the lines were all quite fair.
-Teepads were level, grippy, and plenty large
-Warm up area near the parking lot had all the things including a few small nets to stretch the joints and throw into.
-It's challenging golf, but it's super fun golf too and that can be a tricky balance, but this place delivers.

Cons:

-When I played, the course was only just allowing people to go through and there were no signs up yet. The Udisc map was incredibly helpful, but in general the layout wasn't too confusing. Just a couple times that we went to the wrong hole. Though that rewarded us with being able to play hole 18 twice, lol
-It's pay to play (which I don't care about, in fact, I generally prefer it "get off my lawn, etc.")
-Some people might like to see a couple more open grassy like holes especially because it's so close to a very well manicured golf course, but I have no issues playing entirely in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

My Oreo thoughts on this are that it's a very new track and it's amazing how much was already done and it will certainly get better through time. How did I like dem biscuits? Well I was pretty giddy (and I don't think it was a sugar high) with how amazing this place is and can't wait to get back, especially since it's an easy stop before going to Lake Marshall (another of Biscoe's fantastic accomplishments). Could it use a minute to be polished up? Sure. Is it ready to play and worth the $10? Definitely. Just make sure to use a map and give yourself some time to play. It's a hike, but for anybody that craves the high of elevation change on a course, it's just par for the course and this course is that Ritz Crack you crave for time and time again.
