Pros:

It's a beautiful spot, a mixture of wooded and open holes. It's situated on a large farm and small college campus. A good variety of elevations and strategy. A steep uphill as well as a steepdown hill. Sometimes you'll come across some wildlife, baby deers and turkeys. The pro shop moved all the way to the end of the road but the employees are friendly and they have some discs. The farm store has everything, drinks and amazing sandwiches and things. If you come early in the day they have premade croissant breakfast sandwiches that are fantastic. It's a pretty walk through the woods with a challenging course but easy pars. They move holes 9, 10 and 11 in the winter to shorter tees. They have an honor box right at hole 1. It's not too hard to find walk to the left across the grass field and follow the trail down. It's a good course for beginners and long time players. It's been $5 for awhile, not sure if that will change anytime soon.

Cons:

There can be some places where you do not want to lose it. Hole 10 off to the left contains a brook surrounded by several different varieties of thorn and pricker bushes. It's also down a steep hill. The steep downhill hole 13 has a densely wooded valley off to the right. It can be very hard to find discs there when everything is grown in. If there is soft snow in winter you can lose them easily. Some of the elevations are very steep and not ideal to climb if you struggle with inclines.

Other Thoughts:

The pros outweigh the cons, it's a popular course, and it can get busy during warmer times of the year. But most of the year it's fairly quiet. They have lots of other stuff going on, LL Bean outdoors classes, farm tours, cows, cheese, snowshoeing and skiing and biking trails. There's a bare bones cabin you can rent over night I believe. Don't be alarmed by the gunfire you hear off in the back of the course, after awhile you get used to it and it doesn't interrupt your drives. The farm store has a lot of cool things inside, it's huge. It's a much easier course and compared to the Patriot course at Pineland.
