Great wooded course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 14, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice scenery, the entire course is wooded which makes for a nice challenge. Had two sets of pads for different skill levels. Signs are great. Tee pads boundries are concrete to hold in the gravel.

Cons:

Tee pads aren't paved. Most of the holes on red pads are just a straight shot to the basket, but I guess the trees keep things interesting. The course is on low ground so I can see it getting pretty swampy in winter time with lots of rain. I played in the spring and had to be careful where I stepped.
Playing fee is $2 and no alcohol allowed.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a really enjoyable course! Only gave it a 4 because the tee pads aren't paved.

Gonna be a good one 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Layout is well planned and has a variety of holes. There is wide range of distances including some par 5's and short ace chances. A good challenge and relatively fair for a forest course. Multiple fairway options on many holes throughout the course. This course is most likely going to get better with time since construction is not finished yet.

Cons:

Not very many, and too soon to know for sure, but for now the cons would be the uneven playing surface including the tees which are just a pile of gravel in a small rectangle. The tees are very short in length and some are very close to trees which are a danger for hitting on your follow-through. Some of the baskets are a little hard to see in the shade of the woods so hopefully they will put bright flags on them eventually. This is a heavily forested course and some may find it a little too much, but more trees may be removed in the future.

Other Thoughts:

This course is still under construction at this time (August 10, 2014) There are a few minor issues to be ironed out, but for the most part this is a great course. The surrounding park is nice and the staff was very helpful. This course will be a nice contrast to the wide open nature of Munden Point nearby. At this point the trees are painted with arrows and numbers telling you where to go, so its pretty easy to figure out. There seems to be at least 2 tees per hole so far. The short tees have the signs and hole maps on them. I give this a 4/5 because the work done so far indicates that the small issues mentioned above will likely be addressed in the future, and even the unfinished version is fun to play.
