Reviewed: Played on:Mar 18, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course plays through a flat grassy area with mature trees and a small creek. A few holes bring the creek into play around the target, adding a little bit of risk on missed putts or ace runs. Several of the posts are tucked behind trees to make the approach a little trickier. There are some nice river views from a few of the holes.

Cons:

The course is short and easy, none of the holes require more than a simple putter shot for experienced players. It's flat and fairly open, so there just aren't a lot of different challenges. Several tee and target posts are missing, making it tough to navigate and a bit frustrating at times. Older reviews show that this has been an issue for an extended time. There are some spots that hold water, two holes were under a few inches of water when I played a few days after a rain. The wooden posts are a bit disappointing as a target, no satisfying sound like chains or tones.

Other Thoughts:

Beginners will enjoy the shorter shots and lack of rough. It's a very beginner friendly layout and a fun set of shots to introduce new players. More experienced players won't find much challenge or any real tests. It's a really quick play with just a putter, but only really worth playing if you're looking for a course to add to your list.
