Guys, I'll keep it short. Like I said in the title, I want to love this course because I believe it's a well designed hidden gem. But anytime I've played it during the summer months, it's very overgrown and extremely buggy. In my 40 years of disc golf, I have never been assaulted by so many insects! I guess it's the proximity to the creeks and river, but my goodness, we couldn't hardly get a drive or a putt out of our hand without a bug in our eye. We had to walk with a disc in each hand to swat the horseflies, and they were making my dog a nervous wreck. Also, the overgrown foliage in the fairways made for a few long disc searches, and exposed us to more ticks than necessary. Now, I'm all about nature, but tight disc golf fairways, and putting areas should be relatively clear for the best golf experience IMHO. A big workday with push mowers, string trimmers, loppers, and extension pruners would do wonders for the playability level. I will say that the open fields were mowed fairly short, and I was totally ready to crush some open drives.

So, if your gonna tackle a summer round at Holly, bring lots of DEET, water, hiking boots, an electric fan, and don't throw anything green. I'll be back in the fall...
