Rough and Tough 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

There is a course map located at hole 1. There are a few technical shots but this course is mostly wide open. This course was very easy to navigate from hole to hole.

Cons:

The concrete tee pads are very slick. When playing around the woods gigantic mosquitoes will swarm you. Bring tons of mosquito repellent.

Other Thoughts:

This course is more begginer friendly than the other course on site. If it rains this course becomes very marshy and almost unplayable.

the little sister of cedar hills 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 31, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-this course has a decent amount of hole variety anhyzers, hyzers straight shots, as well as wide open holes and fairly wooded holes
-double loop design making for a stop at the parking lot to get drinks, food etc.
-decent length variety ranging from 185-->500(?)
-some of the holes that ended in the woods had nice pin placement that were either decently protected or kind of risky (on small hillsides)
-Nice, champ level course on site.

Cons:

-natural tee pads were kind of sloppy when I played here, probably not a continual problem, but nasty after rain.
-better signage would have been nice, course just has 4x4 posts with hole number, length and routes. We had a pretty excellent guide here but I'd imagine we would have been wandering around a bit looking for pins and navigating btwn holes had he not shown us around.
-While there was some shot variety here, a lot of holes seemed either throwing from outside the trees to a basket slightly tucked into the trees or throwing from <100 inside the trees to a wide open pin. Then there were also completely open holes and wooded holes. I guess I would like to have seen some more variety in the holes throwing into and out of the woods ie throwing from outside the woods in, but make it a tight opening and put the pin 100' in.
-The wide open holes were pretty boring with very few trees and flat.

Other Thoughts:

I think while reading reviews for this course, I hyped it up a bit too much in my head, that it was kind of a let down for me. I had a similar experience at McDade on the big Houston trip.

But this is certainly a fun course that would be challenging for a low level am player. So in that way it serves it's purpose now that cedar hills is in place. I would recommend playing the course and making a day of Jack Brooks.
