Pros:
+Dual tees
+Great signage. This is much needed as it would be hard to find the next tee a few times. The signs tell you all you need to know.
+Nice baskets- Innova. In great shape.
+Water hazards that are very, very fair and add a bit of fun to this course. Some of the baskets could even be closer to the river in order to add challenge. Hole 17 was a fun shot from a small peninsula to a basket near the pond.
+Decent variety here. There are some open holes, some wooded, some a little more wooded. There are many shorter holes and some longer ones. Nothing really long.
+Great use of not so great land. Derek combined many narrow pieces of land into a solid course.
+You really shouldn't lose a disc here. The river isn't that close and the woods are not too thick. The river is also pretty clear and shallow. Retrieval is possible.
+Good for all levels of players- despite what previous reviews said, it isn't really very hard. The holes near the river aren't that hard and the woods aren't that tight. The tighter holes are also very short.
+Cool sign with distances to other courses.
+Lots of ace runs here.
Cons:
-The flow is pretty bad. This is entirely to do with the land that they had to work with. They piecemeal-ed small pieces of land together to make an 18 hole course. Look at the tee sign to remember where it says to go next. Lots of walking involved in this layout.
-Tees are natural. Some were pretty muddy and wet.
-The course is on the shorter side overall.
-Some filler holes later in the round. 14 and 16 were pretty open and not fun.
-If this course gets significant use, erosion will be an issue.
Other Thoughts:
+This course is much better than the layout that it replaced. Well done.
+This course is the best in the area. I would also recommend Upper Plum Creek to the west of Springfield on Highway 14. This course is worth a stop for sure.
