Reviewed: Played on:Nov 30, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Easy to navigate and (if you're old and/or fat ), its flat! No hills. Solid DGA Mach 3 baskets catch well. Good signs and easily movable diamond-embossed rubber Tpads. Good warmup course for the more challenging Konarcik in Waterloo.
Hole 1: 244 ft Par3 Slight Ani line thru or over 2 bushes about 90 ft out. Hole 2: 316 ft Par4 open field Hole 3: 307 ft Par3 ani shot open field Hole 4: 323 ft Par 4 has willow trees on both sides of and in front of , the basket, you can ani your shot between the willows or hyzer around the rightmost tree. Hole 5: 265 ft Par 3 willow on the near right and small tree just left of center, ani line or great Lefty shot. Hole 6: 348 ft Par 4 1 oak tree 100 ft out in fairway, can throw either side of it to approach pin. Weeds on far right. Hole 7: 343 ft Par 4 2 pre-pubescent trees 80 and 100 ft out in middle of fairway then 2 teenage trees 180-200 ft out in the middle, and you can go hunting in the weeds if you can throw 340 ft and shank it right. Hole 8: 355 ft Par 5 2 small trees 300 ft out left of pin and 1 on the right..rarely an issue. Hole 9: 330 ft Par 4 48 ft from Tpad is a sugar maple that pretty much makes you take the Ani route, then there 2 8' tall "slapplings" that can pooch your drive. then 2 more near the pin that could(and did ) mess up a 30 ft putt. Fun course that can easily be played in 45 minutes.

Cons:

The pars are too high for the distances..my bud Erik ( over age 50 ) threw a 25 with a DX Shark (speed 4 ) and Magnet putter. But if you want bragging "rights", then you can shoot under par here if you can fog a mirror. Alternate longer pin placements are hopefully in this fine courses' future. Some of the uneven rubber tpads had small puddles.

Other Thoughts:

I like this course because if i want to play a quick round, it is easy to throw under 27 and I don't waste time looking for lost discs. It's a relaxing place to play with the only other activities being people walking their 4-legged pooping machines.
