Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Most importantly, great design.
-Utilizes terrain and foilage to give a completely wooded course good variety from hole to hole.
-Holes are tight, but still have fairways.
-Short and long tees offer a moderate to intense challenge.
-Regrind tees are flat, large, and provide good traction :)
-Innova Discatchers are easy to spot in the woods.

Cons:

-Some of the rough off the fairways is super thick. Not a big deal, just keep an eye on your disc.
-Only one "open" hole on the course, so if you like wide open bombs, this one's lacking.
-This doesn't affect my rating, but just a heads up to you all about the poison ivy.

Other Thoughts:

This is the brand newest course in the area, and it's super exciting to finally see it take hold. It's been in the making for at least three years now, had a few road blocks, and is finally here!

Even though I generally prefer courses that have a more even mixture of open and wooded holes, this one makes up for that in design. For me personally, there are alot of memorable holes that I look forward to playing. There is a ton of terrain involved, but thankfully, there's only one super steep uphill hole. The short tees (as of writing this are still being finished) provide a challenging round that is still accessible to intermediate players, while the longs will really test your game.

I think as this course gets worn in more and the minor underbrush gets trampled, it will really start to shine (more so than it already does).
