private course - no entry 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-nice tees with crushed granite
-signs at each tee with distances and hole diagram
-brand new Mach baskets
-a few fun shots

Cons:

-private course, residents only, very active and hostile HOA
-very much a danger to other park users: 3 blind shots across or along a walking path and 2 more open holes where the path can come into play; so 5 out of 6 holes with serious safety concerns
-the 3 open shots are pretty boring except hole 2 has the lake in play on the left and a nasty ravine on the right
-the 3 wooded holes are pretty much either easy deuces or hellacious, super thick rough

Other Thoughts:

Lake Providence DGC is an afterthought amenity in a community park dominated by Providence Lake. There is a walking path around the lake and unfortunately the course follows the path on 5 out of the 6 holes.

This course is a danger to other park users and shouldn't be played alone. Even though the park is not busy, you need a spotter on the 3 wooded holes to make sure you don't cause an incident. The 3 open holes either have the walking path in play or the lake in the case of hole 2.

Thankfully, this course will be not be played often. The community is very strict about trespassing and have already threatened to pull the course if outsiders persist in coming to play here. That may or may not actually be a bad thing but the point is that this course is for the people who live here. It is best left to the few folks utilizing it who are residents since it can't handle the volume of other players and honestly, it's not worth coming to play anyway.

I held off on reviewing this course as I didn't want to draw attention to it but there are already a couple reviews now so oh well. Let it be known that other players aren't welcome here and it's no loss anyway. If you're looking for a private course worth sneaking on to, go to Windsong Ranch and thank me later.
