Pros:
Gorgeous scenery as you make your way through the course.
New concrete pads on holes 1,2 and 3.
Signage looked new and had distances that differed drastically from website info, leading me to believe it has been remodeled recently.
Good use elevation throughout the park.
Well groomed... fairways had been recently mowed.
Cons:
To echo Moosejuice:
Not a beginner course, it's not even an average player course in its redesigned mode.
I'm an over 50 y/o player and rate courses based on their fun factor. This one doesn't do it for me.
Way too many holes that you had to walk 2/3's down the fairway to find the basket.
Holes that were extremely long and/ or super narrow and some were both.
One memorable one comes to mind: #13- long dog leg right, with the last 100 ft or so through a 12 ft wide channel with a canopy of pines 8 ft high over the whole length. Diabolical!!!
A bit of confusion finding some holes.... apparently the redesign has moved some around from the on line map.
Other Thoughts:
I know this will get thumbs down from all the expert players out there, but I struggled just to get through the course.
It seems as if the folks redesigning the course are trying to make it into a championship course for top flight players.
To that end, they succeeded. For me, it doesn't get past typical.
