Pros:

This is a well designed, well maintained course, but I honestly think it is a bit overrated so far.

The front nine is very open, though there has been a lot of tree planting that will add some challenge as time goes on. But frankly the holes are over relatively flat, open ground with one or two trees in play. By Hole 9 I was beginning to wonder about the "Moderately Hilly and Moderately Wooded" designation.

The back nine is entirely different. The holes are quite short, with nothing over 270' even from the long tees. But there are plenty of trees and some good elevation. Every hole is a birdie opportunity but you've got to hit lines and shape drives to make that happen. If you miss saving par is pretty easy.

Infrastructure is top notch, with excellent rectangular concrete blue tees and circular concrete reds. Very nice Houck signs tell you everything you need to know and new Mach X baskets catch great. Tons of next tee signs make it 100% impossible to get lost.

Cons:

The front nine is pretty meh. Shortish holes over open ground with few obstacles and little elevation. There are dozens of new tress planted that will add some challenge, but even then this will be so-so.

The back nine is much more interesting, but is in a remarkably small area. At one point I was within 200' of six different baskets. The morning I played there was one other group on the back nine with me and we absolutely had to coordinate our play to stay safe. There is not room for multiple groups to be throwing in here at the same time.

Other Thoughts:

The short tees are really short, with holes averaging just 210'. This would be perfect for beginners and families, or a putter round.

Ample parking and it looks like a new restroom is being constructed, but was not open when I played.
