This course plays on part of PLU's campus, on its cross country course. Its a pretty fun, quick play through fields and trees, with some beautiful, huge evergreens dispersed here and there. Not enough to create really tight fairways, but very aesthetically pleasing.
Around hole 5 or 6, you start to get some distance holes where you can air it out, a little. Hole 6 is a 400ft hole, with the basket tucked behind one of the aforementioned evergreens.
What little elevation is here, is utilized on hole 7, where you throw upwards, and over a small hill.
There is quite a bit more land to possibly utilize here, hopefully they'll extend it to 18 holes.

A few of the 1st holes are fairly short, with simple rhbh heizer layouts. #2 is very short, but you have to find your way around/under? a VERY large tree.
Not an overly challenging course, but definitely not a simple, boring, 9-holer, like some I've seen.

Its obvious that the designer was good at using what obstacles are there to create some fun holes and shot-shaping. While it was a quick play, and a few short holes were a little mundane, I found myself wishing there were another 9 here. I bet the students and locals here make some pretty interesting safari holes,too! I'd definitely play here again and its a GREAT place to bring a beginner. Not too hard, but with enough challenge & fun for more experienced players.
* Someone had told me this course, being private, is only playable after school hours, or on weekends. This is NOT the case! If you go to Campus Safety (like all the posted signs on campus say to do), they will give u a parking pass for the lots, or you can just street park without pass. You might have to walk a little if you don't use a lot, though.
I asked when the course was available to play, and a very helpful young co-ed told me it was ok at any time, but you need passes for the lots. As I was leaving, I heard her and the security guy say,"wow, no one has ever asked before!" HAHA
So, to anyone local who hasn't played this course because of it's "private" designation, GET OUT THERE. Its quite a fun little play. VK will hopefully sum it up better in the near future.
-Also, you don't need permission from Campus Safety to play, only for a parking pass, if you choose to park in lot.
