Do I have to go after / that guy? 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 8, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Aesthetic-- plays through woody scrub and rolling meadows and around a swamp. area appears to be disc golf exclusive. I don't see any other reason someone would be out there.

Teepads-- ok, there's some positive and some negative here. the concrete teepads are great. Nice, level and in great repair. I wondering WTF the red bricks that were thrown all over the place were and now I know. But seriously, they're thrown everywhere.

Routing and navigation-- pretty easy, the map is helpful and the next tee signs are necessary in some places. at least they're present!

Baskets-- in great shape, brighter orange on the pole would make them more visible. they are damn near invisible on some holes.

Uniqueness-- the stone fences that help define the course layout are a really awesome touch.

Technicalities-- I really liked the shorter holes here. the technical aspects of my game were tested way better than on the longer, more straight holes.

Cons:

Signage-- the signage has taken a BEATING through the winter. most are BLANK with no map or hole sponsor. This isn't majorly bad, but it would be nice to have distances at the very least

Challenge/variety-- unfortunately, the VAST majority of holes are straight forward. there are a few that have right and left fades but the vast vast majority are straight ahead

Risk v Reward-- other than the swamp, there really isn't much risk v reward.

Uncontrollables-- bugs, wind in the field and water water everywhere... I'm sure there are good days and bad days.

Other Thoughts:

I think the land is used very well, what little elevation and natural features there are are used well, I'm just not overly stoked about this course. I liked it but I'm not driving 4hrs back to it :)
