Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Every hole is different and if you get to play the different basket locations over time you will use a different shot or approach on each location so it doesn't get old. This course packs as much as possible in a small piece of land. The elevation changes and the creek that runs through the course make for some beautiful shots. There are several signature holes that are not found on other courses close to this one. Very low traffic.
Cons:
No on site toilets, Can get overgrown on the hill sides.
Other Thoughts:
If you want to work on every shot in your game then play this course. The large and easy to read T-signs are finally in place (10/03/21), but playing with a local for your first time or at a Patriot Club mini will be helpful (They are the home club for the course). Most of the upkeep on the course is done by the local club so it can get occasionally overgrown.
hole #1. walk north from the main parking lot on Wilbur st. and it is down by the creek. It is a sweet right turning shot that goes from 285ft in "a" to 345ft in "c". Trees and power lines are in play but each basket position is reachable.
#2. down hill shot for an ace run in the short position and a good birdie in the long. Mando on the right.
#3. Unique hole that has a left side mando. You can shoot the gap or throw an easy skip shot in both positions.
#4- A Unique and signature hole. You have to throw almost straight up a steep hill about 40ft to a semi-open area up top. the basket is another 120ft back and elevated in the "B" or 50ft further back in the "C" position. There is an easier trail that goes out to the left and along the road, then cuts back into the fairway on top for cart users. This is a challenging hole for players that are use to throwing low and flat.
#5 double mando between the marked telephone poles. Sweeping left shot in the long and a short right turning shot in the short position.
#6 Another signature hole. beautiful down hill open bomb shot with a small landing area. The "B" and "C" basket locations require you to have a good approach shot just to get a 3. "B" is on the edge of a small cliff and "C" is as far back as possible and to the left.
#7 shoots over the creek and turns left. You get to max out your distance on the "B" and "C" positions but be careful not to turn your shot into the street.
#8 shorter shot that you can go over the trees or skip up below them for a chance at a birdie.
#9 Long and narrow with the street O.B. on the left and the sidewalk O.B. on the right. Big trees also line the fairway. "C" basket location in elevated on a 3ft tall dirt mound.
#10 shooting over the creek most of the way with a mando on the left. "A" is on level with the T-pad but right on a hill and "B" is down elevation with a bigger landing area.
#11 is a shaded T-pad with a nice big tree that splits the fairway. Both basket location are up on a small hill.
#12 is a down hill shot that gives the 300ft thrower an ace run in the short location. A flex shot through the middle or an open right side hyzer line are the preferred routes. "B" placement is across the main creek and is mainly used for tournaments.
#13 Very cool hole with an open fairway for 280ft and then wooded for the next 150ft. All positions are viewable from the elevated T-pad and C is deep in the woods. Mando for safety on the left and the main creek is on the right at the end of the hole so it tightens up the closer you get to the long basket placements.
#14 blind shot going up in elevation with "A" straight in front and "B" back to the right.
#15 another unique signature hole. Mando on the tree on the left and most will shoot through the hole in the tree canopy. Some may go over the top. You shoot down elevation over the main creek on all positions. "A" is a right turning shorter shot that is surrounded by trees and not visible from the box. "B" is straight in front of the T-pad and viewable from the T-pad. "C" is a long left turning shot that is not visible from the box.
#16 Toughest hole (in my opinion), especially in one of the longer positions. Tunnel shot that has to hook left pretty hard and get through some more trees for the long left position. Occasional casual water in play on this hole.
#17 Shorter but wide ace run in the short position and guarded by some trees in the long position.
#18 Long finishing hole with a mando on the left that shoots across the creek and up a small hill. Good long shots will land on the upper level and have a birdie look in the short position and an open approach shot in the long. This hole finishes at the parking lot.
