Beautiful 2+ years drive by

Played on:May 12, 2016
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Beautiful wooded course with plenty of wildlife. The fairways were manicured and mowed often, clearly defined and forgiving if you have a errant throw. Always see deer in the woods.
I like the use of the land and some of the manmade structure. Nice little walkways in lower wet areas. Easy to navigate the course.

Cons:
For some, not I, tight fairways and doglegs making for a rough round for less experienced golfer.
Other Thoughts:
This is probably my favorite course in Indiana.

Cons:
not enough folks actually use the trash cans, but the same can be said for all courses
Other Thoughts:
Looking forward to it being open again. It's taking a while to cut down all the ash trees...sounds like it wont be open until Spring 2015 now.
Gladly spent $30 for the annual pass at nearby Ferretie/Baugo.

Pros:
Unforgiving, will challenge all skill levels.
Course is well kept and worth the price of admission.
Nice mix of elevation changes, open and tight fairways, water hazards and deep brush hazards.
Signage and baskets in good condition and course is well-marked.

Cons:
Older tee pads are concrete but on the small side.
Mosquitos are terrible in spring and midsummer. Poison ivy all over - typical of heavily-wooded courses so not really a con, just a reminder!
Some holes come close to flooding out during wetter springs.

Other Thoughts:
Ox Bow is the course I learned to play on so it has a special place in my memory. It is a technical course so leave your distance drivers behind and get ready to thread the needles.
The course does not favor a particular throwing style or handedness - whether you are right-handed or left-handed, throw BH or FH or OH you will need to do a little of everything to make your way through it under par.
This course has aged well - very few holes have significantly different lines from when it was first installed (the exceptions being #3 and #15/old #13, and updated #9 and #16/old #14). It is a very well-designed course that is standing the test of time.
Happy throwing! When you are looking for a disc, may you find two!
