Make Time For This One 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

1) Great Company-The owner/operator met us at the course and facilitated a glow round (not the easiest task). Other golfers were warm and welcoming.
2) Well designed with great utilization of land
3) Variety with some short technical, long bombs, and elevation play
4) Fairways, greens, tees, and baskets top notch

Cons:

1) Very dense rough (can only speak for mid-summer). The rough is everything outside of the lane and you could add several strokes by being off the fairway by only several yards
2) Some lane maintenance would help where flora is prohibitive right off the pad (some might consider these challenges a pro)
3) Bugs terrible (part of the game, does not affect rating)
4) Added lane signage at tee pads would be an awesome addition

Other Thoughts:

Overall this course was an excellent experience. I set up camp at the course with a friend, and we had a great time throwing with the owner and having drinks around his fire pit into the evening. There is a camper cabin onsite with an outhouse for convenience. A fire-pit near the camper cabin would add to feel of privacy for the camper, but we felt welcome after establishing a relationship with the land owner.

The course is a beautiful jaunt, that will challenge all levels of golfer. As an intermediate player, I really had to focus on placement as you do not want to be digging through the thick woods surrounding most of the fairways. The experience that this course has to offer will definitely vary depending upon the time of year. I would love to hit this one again during the fall!

I would definitely recommend making time for this one, and make sure to chip in! With a little more traffic, the roughs would get stomped down a bit, making the experience better for everyone.

Challenging Course that is constantly improving 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 3, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

• Quality Mach V Baskets
• Concrete Tees on all holes, Holes # are marked
• Variety of Holes
• Challenging
• Easy to follow, a couple paths you need to follow next tee signs
• Friendly Owners
• Constantly improving

Cons:

• Course is a little raw but the owner is constantly working on upkeep and improvement and it get's better each year
• Stinging Nettle Present

Other Thoughts:

I play this course every 4th of July weekend while at a friend's cabin, each year as the course gets better as it is more broken in and the owner continues to build upon it and improve. This course has a great design and a promising future. This course is the owners labor of love, the owner and his family maintain the course so it might not always be freshly mowed but it's mowed often enough to not lose any points.

There is a good variety of holes, long ones, short ones, a couple open bombers, a couple with drastic elevation differences. It will bring out all aspects of your game.

This course has very thick rough and because of this if you don't stay on the fairways you are gaining strokes quickly. This is both a positive and a negative, it's positive because it makes the course very challenging and really forces you to be on your game, but at the same time it's a negative because it basically makes every hole feel like a tunnel shot. This is often present on new courses and as it's played more the rough it broken in and it becomes not at thick and there are some holes and backdoors you can try giving the course some risk/reward features. Most courses near large disc golf communities get broken in quickly, since this course is over an hour away from the cities it isn't played as often as others so this breaking in period will take a little longer. But I'm positive with the owners continuing improvement and as the course breaks in more it will become a destination course.

Excellent hole in the wall course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 3, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

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.

The rough is rough 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Kind landowner built this nice course.
The rough is rough.
Tunnel shots.
Great pads and baskets.
Good variety.
Had the course to myself.
Beautiful walk in the forest.

Cons:

Tics ( Pulled about 10 off me at the end of my round)
The rough is rough.

Other Thoughts:

Great course if you can throw distance with some shape. Might be a bit narrow for some but all holes have nice lines if you can hit them, if not bring your deet. $5 donation seemed fair considering the work that went into the course.
