Pros:
The course flows really well together and makes great use of the land, There is some signage to direct you to where the next hole is. It's got a great mixture of technical holes, bombers, lefty shots, tunnels, and a variety of hazards in trees and thickets that never proved to be impossible for even newcomers.
Each hole has concrete teepads which is a huge plus, there are also benches at many of the pads which was great to take a quick breather between holes. The baskets themselves were in great shape and there was good use of having flagpoles on the ones that were below elevation so you weren't shooting blind.
The course felt like it had a good "flow" to it, meaning they had consecutive holes that weren't straight duplicates, but still felt like you had to use the same type of shots. Many of the bombers came in consecutive holes too.
Navigating without a map or previous run through was easy with the exception of hole 9 to 10 but it looks like it is going to be a future hole as there was wood set up waiting for concrete to be put in. Otherwise it was simple to go to each hole.
Great communication from the owner. I had some questions before I made the trip and the owner was very prompt, courteous, and even thanked me for visiting which I feel is not done enough. He knows that we the players are what makes course owners keep building and maintaining great courses.
The course was great for both new and experienced players. There were many straight shots but you rarely had a gimmie for birdies. It still did challenge those who are intermediate or advanced. A great mix of straight shot putts, downhill and uphill and #19 (the gorge) was a fun way to nearly wrap up the back 10.
Cons:
The course was a little difficult to find, as Google Maps brought me a mile short of the course but the owner was able to provide me with good directions.
Did find a few ticks on some players and a dog, can't imagine how bad it will get once summer rolls around.
The layout while great is going to be a bit punishing to people who do not hit the fairway on drives. Even with a lot of dead trees and branches it was thick and sometimes painful. It will only get worse as the season goes on.
Signage would be great, and I could bet that it is in the works as it is a newer course. If I hadn't done my homework and played blind I would have been a little disappointed by the lack of signage for each hole plus navigating between them.
Other Thoughts:
The owner seems very passionate and determined to continue improving the course, and has a presence on Facebook to get events and more people involved. It's great to see, especially because the area lacks DG courses. That said, I am excited to see this course grow and encourage anyone passing through to give it a shot.
