Other Thoughts:
I usually like a play a course a few times before reviewing, but thought Pinhook could use a little more attention. In some ways I think it is an excellent course and I enjoyed my round. I also feel like it is a course that needs to be played several times to figure out the best lines and approaches.
I like courses with protected greens and guardian trees, but the combinations at Pinhook often cause more frustration than challenge. I was thrilled to hit C1 three times in regulation (considering I'm not a great player), but didn't have a single chance at a birdie due to bushes or trees near the basket. Another time I drove around a corner to within 50 feet of the basket only to find myself in a thicket with my only shot getting close to the basket being a roller.
I echo the comments of other reviewers about the woods holes. Making a hole shot only to have the disc knocked down by a stray branch sticking out into the fairway is annoying, as is hitting what appears to be a landing area and finding out that you have no shot at the basket. I'm pretty sure those rough edges will be smoothed over in time and I look forward to enjoying those holes and the course even more in the future.
