Pros:
Course Maintence
- course is well kept. Kudos to the maintenance crew.
Baskets
- great baskets, basket placement was well thought out
Course Design
- the designers should be commended. Good design due to the limittations of the area. Tee shots are not difficult so they really focused on efficient use of space and solid basket placement with water and tree playing into the greens. Big arms and well placed hyzer shots will work well on most holes. Not a huge variety of shots. Relatively equal for left or right handed players as both hyzer shots can be thrown off the tees in a majority of holes. That said there are a few holes that force you to throw low, straight or understable off the tee but again not many. If you have a good backhand you can master the course in no time.
- the island holes are awesome and force real placement of the disc as it is with many of the shots around the greens.

Cons:
Tee Boxes.
- all grass pads. Normally I like them but the ground was wet and slipped on a couple of bare pads.
Course Design.
- I don't like wide open courses. Hole 1 is too much. 1000 feet of huck after huck, no real imagination in that, no risk/reward in the design of the hole to justify length. Its long just to say 'we have a 1000' hole'
- no variety of throws. There is more to course than mostly hyzer throws. A small variety of discs needed to throw this course. For example #9 tees off from the woods in an alley but if you can get 50' you are in a wide open area. For example #7 has three alleys (left, right and straight) with line of trees in front, I stopped and contiplated then threw a hyzer right for a birdie, second time I threw a forehand (hyzer left) for birdie.

Other Thoughts:
I was really pumped to play a 4.7 rated course, this would be one of the best I've ever played. Instead I was disappointed, its an okay course but not what I was expecting. Not a course I would consider as a favourite.
