Fun short private course 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Nov 11, 2021
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
+ Very well maintained, with no brush to speak of.
+ Good quality tee pads and baskets.
+ Good for beginners and just enough challenge to be interesting to more experienced players.
+ SAS campus is very nice, with a mix of recreational facilities.
+ Some interesting random artwork for the aesthetically inclined.
+ Doesn't seem to be heavily played, though it is hard to judge in pandemic times.

Cons:
- Somewhat repetitive with no real signature holes.
- Supposed pars are ridiculously generous. Play all of the holes as par 3 for more of a challenge.
- Apparently it can be difficult to play when other sports are in progress.
- Baskets aren't very well marked and are hard to see.

Other Thoughts:
Fun short course. I can't see myself playing it regularly, but I have no real complaints. As long as you aren't expecting too much from the course, it is an enjoyable place to play a quick round. Does require that you have an employee ID or are the guest of an employee.

Played the course:once
Pros:
-Nice tee pads and baskets
-Easy navigation
-Usually not many people playing
-Easy navigation
-Usually not many people playing
Cons:
-Only 9 holes (not really room for anymore though)
-Hole 8 and 9 can be tricky to play sometimes. Hole 8 can be obstructed by Ultimate Frisbee and Hole 9 by walkers.
-Some holes play with parallel fairways (4,5,6) so you have to be careful.
-All holes are reachable off the tee (except maybe 8 or 9 if you don't have a big enough arm)
-Private but thats understandable given it is on a company's campus

Other Thoughts:
I'd give it a 2.25 if it let me. It's better than a 2, but not quite a 2.5.
On a hot day, you can't beat playing hole 1-6 for a quick few rounds. It is almost entirely shaded and offers quite a few ace runs.
Hole 1 plays a nice RHBH slow hyzer around some trees. The basket is fairly well guarded from the tee pad.
Hole 2 is one of the few of the first 6 that would be difficult to ace. There is a road behind the basket so getting it there without risking hitting walkers can be difficult.
Hole 3 plays uphill back toward the first basket. You'll also see hole #5 basket in the background.
Hole 4 plays along a slope, you'll want to stay away from the left side unless you want to slide down the hill.
Hole 5 plays back into the woods despite the tee sign seemingly pointing you out towards hole #7. It splits the fairway between 3 and 6 so it can be dangerous if crowded.
Hole 6 is the best ace run, dead straight without anything in the way.
Hole 7 is an right to left shot out through some trees with the parking lot on the right side. It becomes slightly harder during the spring/fall as the trees take away the easy line.
Hole 8 plays out in the open and shares the outfield of a baseball field. There is frequently a game of ultimate frisbee going on during lunch time so watch out for the players.
Hole 9 plays up over a little hill then down and up again with some trees in play on both sides. You can play the pine straw as out of bounds for extra challenge.
