After playing my round, I needed a bit to refocus my mind on the pro's for this course. First off, the land they had to work with is actually very good for a river bottom type area. They definitely make good use of the varying topography of the area.

The teepads are pretty good. The baskets, while a mix of a couple manufacturers, are just fine. I wasn't sure about the yellow topped baskets, but they caught all my putts.

Now...the con's started mounting when I stepped up to the first couple of tee shots. The term "fair-way" I think was lost on the designer. A lot of shots get blocked out by having too many clusters of trees very close together. If you're a master of forehand rollers, you'd probably kill this course.

The flow of the holes isn't all that intuitive, even though they have arrows on the baskets pointing in the general vicinity of the next hole. ** Be sure to take a pic of the course map in the parking lot before you start to play**

The bike path towards the middle part of the course comes into play on a handful of holes. A few times I had to wait to throw so park goers could use the path. Throwing right alongside or over a public path is a big safety concern and can be the reason a course gets pulled.

There's a few holes out there that I have to really wonder what the designer was thinking. There are really good fair-ways out there that aren't getting used. Too many holes that put the players in danger of getting hit by other players as well. If this course were busy, you'd need a helmet in order to not worry about taking a disc to the dome.

The land they have could make for a fantastic course, but unfortunately the designer falls short in actual course design skills. The flow isn't good. The term "fair-way" gets lost on a handful of holes. There's safety concerns with holes playing across bike paths and such. I shot what felt like a boring round(53) because so many holes were in the shot and a half range. Throw a drive, half attempted upshot because I'm 100 ft out and then a putt usually from within 10 ft. A redesign of this course could really yield a fantastic 18.

** Also, I'd get rid of the Iwen north/south idea and just have it be a normal 18 hole flow.
