Pros:

Heavily wooded with some elevation, if you like that. Tight fairways that will challenge rec players and maybe a few pros. This course is at the bottom of my top 10 hardest courses played list, yet the course offers you a fair chance if you are accurate. There are a few chances for an ace, but there is one 130 FT hole that is impossible unless you are God. A few of these holes are long and technical. Some courses listed as heavily wooded still have 3 or 4 open bomb shots. This course has 2. Hole 3 plays along side of the road with the basket tucked back off the road in the woods and (hole 12) which is the same type shot as 3 except this ones 700 ft. with the basket tucked a little deeper in the woods with more of a green around it. One shot from the open into the woods.(hole 1) The other 15 holes are in the woods. There are times during the course you feel like freaking Tarzan. I was afraid that I might actually get attacked by a crazed inbred bigfoot or something. This course will truly make you more accurate or make you buy new discs. Due to the fact that the 5 closest courses are all north off of I-20 and between 45-60 miles away this course obviously gets little play as I was all alone on a beautiful Sunday. If it is a windy day, it does not matter because this course is in the woods where there is no wind. Get a map when you pay your 3 dollars . Look around at the end of every hole and there will be something visible on a tree pointing to the next tees, also look for blue and white tee posts . Along with the map this course is easy to navigate.

Cons:

The upkeep of an all wooded course requires a lot more work. A couple of fairways showed it, but if you take your time you can find a place to throw. Only 1 full sized table to sit and it is right next to a decorated sign that is nailed to a tree reading Rest Area. lol. You have to go spot a couple of holes and a couple of fairways. Not beginner friendly. Bring old plastic unless you are really confident in your accuracy. If you find yourself off the fairway like myself, be very careful because there are holes covered and partially filled by leaves so you can't see some of them. If you demand well manicured or pristine type courses, do not make the drive. This course does need more attention than it receives. This course is so far away from the other courses that I am not sure if there is a local group or anyone that calls this their home course. There is a sign by the boat dock that says beware of alligators. So watch out on hole 18!

Other Thoughts:

I changed my rating because when I played this course originally I had only previously played 10 courses and was blown away more than I should have been. The lack of upkeep also contributed to my decision to lower my rating. It would be an easy 4 if it had concrete Ts and was not so overgrown. when a course has unplayable holes because of upkeep, that's just sad. Especially a wooded course with such nice terrain.
