-Brand new Mach V baskets.
-Tee signs with pertinent info and fancy sign posts on every hole. (The signs themselves are hand drawn with stickers for numbers and zip-tied to the posts, but these are temporary.)
-Course flows well (with only minor exceptions). No map needed.
-Nice variety: Long and short open holes; tight, technical wooded wooded holes both long and short; O.B. and water also come into play on several holes.
-Good use of elevation and obstacles (natural and man-made)
-Parking available near Hole #1 and course loops back around with #18 basket close to parking area, also.
-The course is clean and well maintained and the scenery is wonderful.

Not much in the way of amenities. Only one bench, it's on Hole #11 and it looks like it was there before the course. No trash cans on the course, either. No convenient restrooms. (This IS a new course, these are in future plans)
-Some of the wooded holes are still a little rough around the edges with debris and small tree stumps tripping you up in the fairways. Although, I'm listing this as a con, I didn't factor it in the rating. This will 'fix' itself over time and with regular traffic.
-Hole #6 needs a makeover. A 310' hole, with two, left hand turns (almost 90 degrees, each) and around 200' of fairway between them, on a wooded hole with a 10'-15' wide lane to throw down. You can't see the tee or basket from your second shot, even if you land in the fairway.

I had high expectations for The Lynx and was not disappointed. Yes, there are quite a few things that it still needs, but it's a new course and things like professional tee signs, Pro tees, alternate pins, benches & trashcans are in the works. I would recommend this course to anyone.

If you're making a trip to Hattiesburg PLAY THIS COURSE! It's worth the 20 min. drive.
From Jackson or Meridian it's about an hour... still well worth the drive.
