Reviewed: Played on:Jun 14, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Quality 4'x10' level, concrete tees, tall teesigns, and quality baskets,

Combination of open/wooded, elevation changes, shot-shaping, distances.

Cons:

A few of the holes have dense collection of random trees ~2/3rds of the way down the fairway, making luck a major factor.

A few tees are too close to previous baskets/other fairways - for example, tee-10 is in danger of too-wide-a-turning drive from tee-9, and also from a too-early-a-turn drive from tee-16.

Some of the ascents/descents to tees/baskets are a bit steep, and could be slippery when wet, Thick undergrowth along the early wooded holes could cause some long searches,

Other Thoughts:

Course dominates a new park set behind a neighbourhood bordering former farmland, with 1/3rd of the course starting/ending in open space, and the bulk of the course playing up, down, and atop a wooded plateau.

The open holes (1-2, 15-18) are, as expected, where most of the longer holes are found, some with out-of-bounds (left or "island"), treelines (along right side), and/or elevation loss. Holes 3-9 (and start of 10) are on the shorter side, and play up, down, and along the wooded slope, with an emphasis on tunneling fairways, right-turns, and good control. Holes 10-14 are set atop the wooded plateau, where the trees are taller/denser, underbrush is less prevalent, holes lengthen, and where most of the left-turning shots will be found.

Favourite hole: #11 - a long, "double-jointed" left-turner, with many-a-tree to cast aside a wayward disc.

Navigation: Even w/o a map, following the course was fairly straightforward, with the next-tee arrows at the bottom of the baskets. Only a bit of backtracking occurs from bakset-1 to tee-2, basket-5 to tee-6, and basket-12 to tee-13.

A decent course, offering good variety, which should improve as it breaks in over time.
