Best 9-hole course to date 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Best 9-hole course I've played to date. Very good-looking, well-maintained course.

Though initially intimidated, starting with two long holes is a good idea: rip it early and get that out of your system.

Thereafter, you've got to play with strategy versus abandon: avoiding OB along left fairway (no. 3), uphill with mando dogleg (no. 4), downhill with mando dogleg (no. 5), into or in the woods (nos. 6-8) that get tighter and longer, out of a grove of trees into a wide-open green (no. 9).

Long tee pads with decorative, swirl pattern in relief. New tee pad signs with perfect information.

I don't mind the footbridge from 9 to 2. Just be aware of any players on 1 & 2.

Cons:

Current construction in no. 1 fairway makes it muddy.

Thorny bushes in deep rough, and anthills all over. Will be a real danger in warm months. If your disc lands on an anthill, the ants will get on it and bite you later. Be aware, check and wipe your discs.

Other Thoughts:

I love this course. Will play it often when visiting GA. I hope it stays around. In a park with baseball fields, walking paths, a pond, open fields (for soccer, football, etc.), picnic shelters, etc. On private church land. Church asking for donations to continue.

Play two discs to play 18 holes. By playing holes twice, you will learn the course faster and improve on this course (any 9-hole course) quicker. Which is very encouraging.
