Woods are fun... skip the basin 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 26, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

I really liked the woods holes. 1-7 was a fun well laid out set of holes. Not difficult to find tees (with Udisc help). Good fairways and lines in the front 7.
Hole 15-18 were also fun challenges I would like to play more to find the lines or approaches. Pretty hard Birds to get because of distance and tight trees (for my old noodle arm). I could see these being fun challenges to figure out.
The tees were clean and in good shape if you like rubber tees. I know some don't

Cons:

There is no signage alerting you to hole 8, 13 and 14 being out of play... I saw where the baskets would be and I have to say while throwing off that height of land is fun on 8... then you are just throwing in a field for 800ft.
Hole 9 is uninteresting field hole
Hole 10 is overgrown and I skipped it at this point I was frustrated by what I found on this side of the dam and wished I didn't bother walking over to this side.
Hole 11 looked like it could be interesting out of the wooded area
Hole 12 is an uninteresting field hole
Hole 13 from the far side would be silly... just throw your disc in the river and walk away... 390 over water... I would be playing from the Red tee which is admitedly much less interesting but I wouldn't be throwing a disc in the water.
14 was not open but again... open field hole.

Hole 11 (I walked down that way

Other Thoughts:

I think this course could be laid out a bit better to utilize the near side of the dam and get almost all 18 over there... don't bother with the area over on the far side. Put maybe 2 holes down in that basin and call it a day... Lots of space on the near side to get a few more holes in an cut some walks down.

Overall, I love NH wooded courses so that is where I loved this course. The big open field holes are just not interesting... to me. Others may love to bomb big throws... if so... you will like this course too.

Worth the play.
