Pros:
I put off playing this course after repeatedly hearing about it's ability to eat plastic. I was kind of sad that I did, as the very real threat of losing discs really ups the ante. It's kind of nerve racking on a few holes, but rewarding. Not particularly hard to clear the water, but it's really only a matter of time...
The course is well maintained, but some of the natural tee-pads are getting tricky.
There are a couple of holes that could be labeled the signature hole, and there's a good variety of wooded and open shots.
Some people mentioned the highway, but you're only next to it for two holes, one of which throws around the MCC sign, which is kinda cool... Especially with the traffic, methinks.
Plenty of parking, as well as easy to find. It's pretty easy to play a quick round here on any given day, and you're guaranteed to find a few holes you'll really enjoy.
Cons:
The water.
As much as I like the risk, I hate losing discs more. One throw over the pond is just a griplock away from kissing your disc goodbye, and even if you hit the dry stuff, it's steeply banked, A roller into the water will likely be lost, as you're not allowed to wade in. Even then, the water drops off steeply. I had one roll harmlessly towards the frozen bank, hit the ice, slide through the gap to the shore, and disappear.
Bring a retriever.
In addition to the pond, there's a reedy creek that swallows plastic on 1.
I know I'm contradicting. "I like the water, I don't like the water", but you know how that goes!
Tee pads are fairly worn, and there's no facilities at all, so bring some napkins, ladies.
I would also recommend a guide or a good map, as finding the tees can be tricky.
Other Thoughts:
There's some fairly strong pros and cons to this course, but all things considered I'm glad I finally started playing it. I don't like to review unless I've played a course a few times, and in 5 rounds I've lost 1 very nicely broken in Valk (sigh). Not bad, I guess.
Worth playing. It's far from the best in the area, but far from the worst.... Just don't let your newbie buddy throw your nice discs!
