Pros:
-Tee pads are in excellent condition, I played after a significant rainstorm, and they were still very nice
-Tee signs provide distance and par, which is great, they do have maps, which are helpful on the more open holes, but not on the wooded ones
-Baskets are decent, they have the big number circles on the top, so it is easy to tell which one you throw to.
-The catching ability of the baskets is pretty good, I think they were Mach II's but with a homemade chain row down the middle (at least that's what it looked like) and so the baskets caught real nice.
-Fairways are well manicured grass, which in dry weather is undoubtably super nice
-This is a flat course, there is no way around that fact. However, there are some subtle hills and divots that are used, which shows that a lot of thought went into the design of those holes 8 and 12 play into the same little bowl (although separated by blackberries) and hole 11 plays down a hill.
-On a course that I would describe as "mostly open" tree use becomes especially important, when there is a tree on this course, it is probably in your way some how, and even when you get into the more wooded section, all the trees are a part of the hole, trees that are off the fairway can create (or force) a second hole almost, if you kick into the rough.
-Navigation is easy on this course, the layout is super intuitive, starts right by the parking lot and ends right there to.
-Very nice location, I'm a huge fan of the grass fairway with big trees in the middle, always thought that was cool because the terrain is casual, but the play is still difficult.
-As mentioned in the title, space is used extremely efficiently out here, many holes get really close to each other, but by the tees, so the holes start closer to each other but end far away.
Cons:
-When I played this course (after much rain) there were some massive puddles on the open holes, I'm talking two or three puddles about an inch deep and 10 feet wide on multiple holes.
-after th front nine, the course dips into the woods a little bit more, there is some blackberry bushes that provide the rough. These have obviously been pushed back a great deal, which is great, but I still would definitely not want to go in there.
-The open holes get a little boring, yes, the distance is a challenge, but it is the only one. Also, they play super close to the walking paths.
Other Thoughts:
This is a super solid course. The kind of course that I would play all the time if I lived in the area.
