-well designed, two baskets on every hole give a ton of great layout options
-great signage tee pads and a bench on every almost every hole
-beautiful course that nailed that grass fairway through the woods look perfectly
-not having a big arm won't hurt you on the par 4s and 5 where accuracy is rewarded more than distance
-definitely a use every shot you've got type of course
-excellent use of elevation and downed large trees
-even though it can be crowded the design really hides the other players from you despite them
Playing only a few feet away

-the rough is rough! It definitely pays to
Be accurate because when you are off the fairway you are in a sticker bush.
-if you are playing the Longs, while the par 4s are gettable for non pros some of the par 3s definitely are only birdie opportunities for the pros. Not a huge con but you need to realize you are playing for par on a few holes if you don't have 400ft power

And that's about it, this course went through a lot of evolutions and in its final form the designers obviously knew what it should be.

This is a great course, there really aren't bad holes. The par 4+ require accuracy and a good game plan for how to attack them. The short baskets are still really great holes mixing in precarious approaches and technical shots

Great 18 hole course with tremendous upside:

- New baskets (2 baskets on each hole now)
- Impressive new course design (2 new holes already in 2019 - 10 and 11)
- Plenty different types of throws
- Different elevation and shots
- Defined fairways
- Nice signage for next tees
- Willing group of locals to improve further

- LESS thorns off the fairways are rough, though they have be thinned (much less thorns now)
- TEES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED
- Now 18holes (2 baskets on each hole now)
- Yield to non golfers, so of the local walkers are clueless

I'm a bit of a homer since this course is 5 minutes from my house and I've helped a bit with the club heading up the revitalization. In other words, this course has a special place in my heart, so my rating might be a half a star too much BUT this course really is the best 13 hole offering in the area. Located between other busy courses, this is a great alternative or perfect warm up course to the bigger, more crowed 18 hole courses nearby. Come check it out and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. My favorite hole is #7 and the signature hole is #8. **Obviously this review has been updated over time!
