Pros:
- Course is set in the open grounds of this large church. There are some baseball fields, and some roads in play, but there shouldn't be any interference with DG on any random day.
- Some moderately hilly terrain here, there is a decent mix of uphill and downhill shots. #13 and #14 are the most noticeable downhill shots, #5 and #15 are valley shots, and #12 and #16 play uphill. Nothing extremely major except for #13, but it adds variety to the tee shots. Also some places where the fairway slopes on the sides, like #8 and #9.
- A few trees here and there to force line shaping; #1-#4 have an increasing amount that encourage a RHBH hyzer line. #10's basket is close to some trees, and #16 has rough all along the right side.
- Man-made OB in multiple spots, some holes play next to roads, others play over one or two roads. Also some random pieces of concrete here and there, like on the left side of #3. Not that having concrete in the fairway is a Pro; but it really helps to add some challenge.
- Pretty good mix of hole lengths, half of them are 348' or longer. Seven of the rest are under 300', but none are ridiculously short. Good test of distance overall.
- Natural tees are in pretty good shape, baskets are top notch, signs are good though some were on the ground. Navigation is pretty straightforward, map isn't absolutely necessary.
Cons:
- Vast, vast majority of the shots here are wide open. Absolutely wide open. And the holes that do have trees, aren't anything special. Definitely a grip-n-rip course from start to finish with little thought needed towards line shaping.
- Course is bordered by roads on two sides, with a fair amount of traffic. Very little seclusion to be had anywhere on the course.
Other Thoughts:
- A decent course that rewards distance over anything else. The biggest challenge is making sure you don't end up in a road somewhere. Great place for beginners to chuck some plastic, or for driving practice with some minor elevation changes.
