Course at work 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course will challenge your willingness to take chances over water and throw at water.

Cons:

No maps no signs which means I got lost and walked the wrong way many time. Very thick Rough. Take a spotter or plan to loss a disc

Other Thoughts:

This course could be good in the future, but for now it gets a pass from me. The course is not done and it floods as it is in a flood plain. Not making the top 20 even for me.

A welcome new course 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Any time there is a new course in the area - it is welcome. This course has an abundant variety of holes, from open to heavily wooded to prairie. Terrain change is great. Some tee pads are brick, some are wooden, some are natural. I actually liked that variety. Ample garbage cans eliminate some of the concerns from previous reviewers. This is a great place to find lost discs. Loved the elevated basket on (15?)

Cons:

The lack of signs made for an incredibly confusing first round at this course. Zigzagging paths lead you from the baskets to multiple directions. You could follow the woodchip path where available, but a simple sign (or even an arrow) would be better (Which of the three baskets you can see from tee #1 is the basket for hole #1? is a good example of how signage would work.) I'm sure as the course gets worn in and improved upon, the flow from hole to hole will improve.

DANGER - Hole # 10 is LOADED WITH POISON IVY! It is in the rough, it is in the fairway - right up to the basket. The plant is on nearly every hole since it is a wild weed and conditions are perfect, but this particular hole should be avoided if the lawn hasn't been mowed.

Other Thoughts:

To the designers: A map of the course would be welcome at hole #1. I played very conservatively my first time on this course because you can't see the basket on at least half of the holes unless you walk up halfway on the fairway. Beware of using mottled or dingy colored discs. Blaze orange discs may be your friend here.
