Nice course... 2+ years drive by

Updated:
Played on:Apr 22, 2014
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
*Course is located in a nice, quiet area.
*Course is fairly clean (there is primitive camping (tents) allowed in the area), therefore there is some trash lying around.
*Trash cans on several holes.
*Even though the course is located in the woods, it is rather hard to lose a disc.
*Suprisingly dry course...considering that we had record rainfalls here last week, the course was fairly dry. The creek was flooded and water was just about up to the 1st hole tee box. All other holes were relatively water free.

Cons:
*Short course (only 9 holes with the shortest hole being about 190' and the longest being a little over 300'...rumor has it that the back 9 will be put across the street in the woods adjacent to the senior center)
*Being a relatively new course, there are still small stumps, vines, and underbrush that can be tripping hazards.
*With all of the rain we've had lately, the woods are becoming filled with mosquitos, yellow flies, and other biting or stinging bugs. Bring bug spray!!!
*While I haven't ran across any yet, be cautious of snakes...the course backs up to the creek, and water moccasins, rattle snakes, and other Mr. No-legs are native to the area. Watch where you are stepping and reaching when picking up your discs.

Other Thoughts:
In reply to the 1st review...
The lodge is not normally open...it is used for meetings, weddings, receptions, etc. There usually isn't anyone there during the day. The only restroom is the port-a-potty located next to the 2nd hole and there are no water fountains on the property. Plenty of parking, in the grass along the wood line and in the parking lot across the street (just don't park in the parking lot at the senior center).
I just found out about the course a few weeks back and have played it several times, since it is close to the house. This course is short, with no real chance to let a disc fly...I stepped the longest hole off at just over 300'. Most of the holes are straight shots from tee box to basket, yet a few have dog-leg and hooks incorporated. There is no elevation change at all...every hole is flat. The course is marked fairly well, with arrows pointing to the next tee box and, on some holes, indicating the path to the basket. Someone has tried to mark the path from the tee to the basket on some of the sponsor signs, but they aren't too accurate (one shows that the fairway dog-legs to the left, when it actually dog-legs to the right).
The course was built with money from "hole sponsors". Each hole was sponsored by a local business (I'm guessing that the businesses paid for the baskets on each hole). Please make note of the businesses and thank them by supporting them when you can. Without their support, we wouldn't have this course to play. And, please pick up any trash that might be laying around...let's keep the course looking nice (I have picked up several empty plastic drink bottles each time I have played.
