Other Thoughts:
A fun little course that plays slightly uphill along a small shaded stream in the woods. Worth playing if you're in the area. Very technical. #2 is a challenging tunnel shot through tall trees (see pic, you can barely see me at the tee in the distance). Short holes, played a few with just a putter. A couple holes have a dogleg where you can't see the basket from the tee. I listed the natural tees as both a pro and a con. They're pretty bad really, lined out with logs from the surrounding forest, with dips, roots and rocks to dance around. Tee #4 sits atop the remains of an old cedar stump with little space to maneuver. And yet, they fit in well with the setting and add an element of difficulty that makes the course more challenging and fun. Concrete would be way out of place here. Combine this with a hike to nearby Nairn Falls and a meal at Mile One Eating House in Pembroke (got a good tip from a local) for a fine outing.
