Great mix of shots! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 21, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-New DGA Baskets!

-Course Map Located in Parking Lot by Hole 1. Very Easy to Follow.

-Several Short Ace Run Holes on the Front 9.

-Back 9 Offers Long Holes With Great Elevation Change to Challenge Even the Strongest Arms.

-Great Mix of Holes That Require All Types of Shots (Back hand, Fore hand, Hyzer, Annhyzer, Spike/Grenade, etc)

-Great Use of Limited Foliage to Demand Specific and Alternating Shot Types

-Course Stays Drier Than Surrounding Area Courses

-Brightly Colored Tee Signs Are Very Easy to See and Make Traversing the Course for the First Time Extremely Easy

-Perfectly Manicured Grounds. Fairways are Very Defined and Neatly Mowed. Pine/Spruce Trees are Are Well Groomed. Almost No Fallen Limbs, Thorns, Burrs, or Poisonous Plants to Contend With.

-With No Large Dormant Bodies of Water in the Immediate Area, Bugs Are of Very Little Concern

Cons:

- 18 Tee Boxes Share 9 Baskets

- Tee Boxes are Natural (In Great Shape)

- Not Many Natural Obstacles to Work With. (Mature Trees, Rocks, etc.)

Other Thoughts:

This course offers something that not many in this portion of Indiana do, Elevation! So much fun to play on a course with good rolling hills.

We Played the Red (Front Nine) and White (Back Nine) Tees today. A Couple of the holes on the front nine almost bored us by how open and short they were. We quickly got excited again by how many times we hit metal off the Tee! It felt like every other drive would result in chains ringing! The back nine is where I finally got to open my arm a bit and push myself.

One of the things that I Loved about this course was how meticulously maintained it was! All of the fairways are extremely well taken care! The rough is still rough, but enjoyable. The grass is taller and you will find some small bushes, but you certainly won't have to Search for a disc Or force yourself into thorn patches!

I would give this Course a 4.5 with Permanent tees installed. 9 more Baskets for a full 18 would be great, But, I don't believe this park could offer the same challenge with holes if it did. I believe that with the limited obstacles available, the designers did a fantastic job. No Two holes feel the same. I definitely intend to play this park again.
