A little bit of walk in a few instances between the finishing basket and the next tee pad

Other Thoughts:
I have gotten to be a bit of a course snob. I wasn't expecting this course to be anything but average. However, this is a very good course. It is a place I will definitely play again. There was a tournament just wrapping up and there were lot's of helpful people with tips. The baskets and tees I used I'm told were all in the long positions
I'll attempt to describe my recollection of the holes. I think they change them frequently for variety
hole #1. It's the far tee pad north from the main parking lot
It is a off the top of a hill with a hard right hook, Nice starting hole.
#2. down hill shot fairly. I think it was in longs. I was able to reach a little bit long with my champ beast. Birdie
#3 is gradual hill shot into a bunch of trees with t he basket in the back. It's probably a mid hole. I used an FD an almost aced it. It chained out loved the hole
#4 The basket was in long position You have to shot up a giant cliff, but there is a tree if you go to high. After reaching on top of the cliff. There are trees to shoot around to get another 150 feet or so to the basket
#5 There is a double mando between the marked telephone poles. I didn't particularly like the wire about through high strung across the hole. It's straight then pretty far left. Easy par, but super hard to birdie if you don't have a giant arm.
#6 Another hole where you shoot off a cliff. The basket is pretty far and mostly straight. I played it safe to the walk way down the hill. When I got there, I realized the basket was reachable, but it sets next to a huge hill and there will be a big penalty for missing on the right. I played it too safe to the left and had a 4. If I play it again, I will attack it harder on the tee.
#7 Normal size basket to the left across the creek
#8 shorter shot about level with the basket with a valley below. You can play it safe with a low hot or hyzer bomb it over the trees. I went with hyzer bomb, It landed right next to the basket, but unfortunately rolled down the hill
#9 Fairly long with creek on the right. Not too bad if you have control.
#10 You shoot from one side of the creek to the other. Crossing the creek with the shot is easy, but you have to walk a ways to cross the creek to get to your discs. There is a mando on the far left. I would not use that line anyway, but I suppose some could try.
#11 ~300 footer with basket on a hill. Not too hard, but a needed break from all the challenging holes
#12 My recollection is shoot from elevation with the basket across the creek. I think I played to the front of the creek then through over taking an easy par. It's possible to through all the way over with a big arm, but I was kinda tired.
#13 Is pretty long and open then finishes in the woods. Maybe 275 or so to the woods, then maybe 140 feet back in there. Getting from the open part all the way through the woods to the basket in the very back of the woods is just tough. Great challenging hole
#14 The tee pad is situated near the front of a large hill with no visibility to the basket. The basket was to the right after getting up the hill. Plan to be punished if you throw to the right on a shot or put. The hill is pretty steep
#15 Mando on the left, but would not be a line I would use any way. You shoot from a tall hill maybe 75 feet back from the drop off. The shot has to cross the creek then go left. Lot's of trees on the tee shot, another really good hole
#16 Flat woods shot. Creek on right. This is no easy hole. The path through the trees to get all the way to the basket is not for the timid. After a great round, I tried to run my score on this hole with a few sloppy shots. Very fun though
#17 This was a lot shaded wooded shots. The basket was maybe 260 from the tee pad to the right upgainst the side of the hill behind trees. This is not too pad of a shot if you have a good forehand and probably could get an ace. The path to get there is definitely straight with a right finish.
#18 Long uphill shot back toward the parking lot. The basket was a bit right of the parking lot. There are lots of obstacles to actually get it up the hill. So save some strength for an accurate straight uphill shot. If you hit the trees you will be punished severally.
