Forgotten relic on a hill top. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Ummm. There are baskets, even some elevation (course is on one of the highest elevations in town)
2 tees and 2 pin positions per hole.

Cons:

Abysmal flow and navigation. I almost walked off the course after 3 holes.

Baskets are unmarked, so I played hole 2 first thinking it was one. The signs were mostly unreadable so even if you found the tee, you did not know what hole you were on at times. After hole 2 there was no navigational aid to guide you to hole 3. I walked ½ mile down a trail to nowhere looking for basket 3. On hole 3 I spent time looking for my disc in the thick brush. I wasted a lot of time looking for tee 4, when I found it there was no sign. It was a short blind anny that could leave you looking for your disc. There was a long walk to hole 5, once again no navigational aids to point your way or confirm you are going the correct way. On hole 7 the basket you see is 8, not 7. You throw right back up the hill for 8. On hole 9, I had no idea where the basket was. I took a safe shot down the fairway and realized I was 50 feet past the basket.
Hole 7 was the only legible sign. Many baskets were old dented and greatly abused. This course seems to be a forgotten relic wasting away on a hill top.

Other Thoughts:

I had to pay 2 separate tolls to get off the Expressway to play this course. This course was not worth a single toll. Move on to a different course and save yourself a lot of time and frustration. I saw another sign near hole 9 and thought there was another hole and felt disappointment, then excitement when I realized it was not another hole, it was honestly that bad.
I have played around 200 courses and this was in my bottom 5.
