Pros:
-Baskets are in great shape, seemingly brand new. I don't like the yellow band Innova's but some people might like them.
-There is a little elevation here, and I feel like is well used. The signature hole to me is #9 which is unique in the way it uses elevation. The tee and the basket are at the same elevation. There is a hill as an obstacle on the shortest path to the basket. Or you can go around the hill (longer) to stay on flat ground.
-Plenty of parking.
-The crowd level was low.
-The locals are friendly and courteous.
-This course does have some scenic beauty to offer, especially on holes 4 - 9.

Cons:
-The natural tees are a bit uneven. I like natural tees if they are taken care of. You could tell these got deformed in some muddy play and left craters from prior throws.
-The tee signs are too close to the tee area. They get in the way of your throw.
-Some tee areas are too close to the prior hole's basket. About 4 times out of 18 holes, I overthrew and landed on the tee.
-This place cannot handle a crowd. If there were more than 4 or 5 groups, it would get chaotic and possibly dangerous. Luckily it was not crowded the day I played.
-There are no benches, few trash cans, no restrooms, or water.
-The challenge level is low in general. Some holes lack luster, mainly holes 2 and 3. There is no obstacle on them. No trees, no long distance, no elevation.
-Only 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:
This was a long overdue round of DG with some old friends, Noah and David.
My actual rating was a 2.88 on my score sheet I have for rating courses.
Even though the challenges are low, it's still a fairly fun course. I would like to play it again. It might get stale if I played it too often though.
This course would do good to have 2 sets of tees per basket, to make 18 unique holes on the 9 baskets.
My thoughts on hole 7: it's not as bad as it seems. There is an open route to get a 3 by making the "L". There are lines through the trees to get a 2. You have to throw over the brush and short trees to clear it. The risk is really high though. I don't knock them for creating a hole like that.
