Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to navigate
clear/mowed fairways, although some of them are extremely tight.
Course offers good shot variety, plus a mix of a few open holes, a few woods holes, but majority are "brush" holes.

Cons:

Thick rough on alot of holes and the fairway is only about 10' wide, if your off it you might be looking for awhile.
Not much at all for elevation on the course
No water holes.
A lot of the holes blend together after awhile, I can't think of any holes that "stand out" to me. Although I liked a couple of the "park like" holes set in the lines of trees.

Other Thoughts:

On a few blind holes, spotters will help alot.
This course is new, so hopefully the rough gets broken in, and that will make the course easier to play. I'm not sure how much play this course will get though as its private and the allowable playability seems limited with the time restrictions and "reservations". I only live about 15 miles away, but I don't see myself playing this course again in the near future. There are a couple better "public" course options in the area.
