Played the course:once
Pros:
What a beautiful scenic area!! The view from several of the back nine holes is breathtaking....
By the way, there is a course there on those hills..
Brand new tee pads and easy to spot yellow baskets with hole numbers.
Did I say the course was in a very scenic area??
#14 is the only positive memorable hole... mando up a hill to a basket on the down side of the hill....
#17 and #18 played along a brook which flowed through some neat rock formations in the brook bed.
Was a great finish to.... (see cons and other thoughts)

Cons:
Where do I begin??
No signage at all.... maybe coming as the next phase of this 2016 built course. Without the online map, you would be hard pressed to navigate this course because..
The FLOW of it is horrible.... they had acres and acres to use for this course, so I think they had to make you walk long lengths between the holes to use up all the acreage.
Then, the quality of the holes.... not sure who designed this but there were no WOW holes for me.
#2 Throws through the trees to a marsh area with uncontrolled brush in front of the basket.
#10 Uses the pond, but you either have to be able to throw it 250 or more, or lay up on a 15 ft wide hill sloping into the water. (Yes, I lost a disc!!)
#15 again uses the pond, but not really because the trees block that angle and you end up throwing wide of it toward the street.
Enough said here....

Other Thoughts:
I hate to be the first reviewer and be so harsh... Start with this disclaimer: I am an over 50 disc player with a 200 ft average drive. I look for courses that I find "fun".
My 17 y/o son and I play numerous road trips... This was course #3 (of 5) on a Cape Girardeau trip from StL.
There was way too much hiking for the lack of quality of the holes. Not sure if designer is trying to make a fun course or a "championship caliber one".
Unfortunately, he didn't hit on either.
