Typical field bomber stop 2+ years

Pros:
- To start, the fact that a company course is freely open to the public. I'd never played a company course prior to this one, and was happily surprised by the experience. You have to applaud Michelin's effort into designing and building a course in the first place, and allowing anyone in to play it.
- Plenty of parking right near where you start and end.
- Nice Discatcher baskets in good shape.
- No disk loss risk.
- Plenty of bomb opportunities if you're looking to work on your long game. And if you're already precise with your bombs then multiple birdies await you here.
- Surprisingly nice tee signs with decently accurate maps on them.
- Hole #2 is a scenic downhill bomb opportunity for birdie, with the basket nestled up against the brush under a big hardwood tree you can just drop a hyzer around or in front of.
- A quick play that's likely never busy, and it's easy to navigate once you find the first tee.

Cons:
- You're literally a driver shot from Interstate 26 for a third of the course, so tons of road noise doesn't let you feel like you're out enjoying 'a day in the park'.
- It was very still the day I played, but wind could be a real nuisance here due to the lack of tree cover over the park area.
- The "park" the course circles around, by the way, looks like it's been abandoned for 20 years. Kind of creepy the way the seesaws, baseball field, and tennis courts are simply rotting away... I don't think it's a vagrant hangout or anything (too remote), but it doesn't give the course an inviting vibe.
- No real unique hole or any other aspect that will spark your desire to come back. Makes it fine for course baggers and beginners, but definitely not worth a trip out of your way.

Other Thoughts:
- There's nothing outside the ordinary here, so if you come in expecting that you'll enjoy your round no problem. Don't get me wrong, glad I stopped and played, but it is what it is: a typical lightly-wooded 9 holes.
- Being located right off two interstates makes it a great place for a quick warmup before hitting one of the area 18 holers (like USC UPstate just 5 minutes away) or for a road trip stretch break.
