Not As Accomplished As Big Brother, East Tyler! 2+ years

Played the course:once
Pros:
I played the West course right after tackling the mighty East course. The West course has all the same amenities as the East course. Same great signage showing not only which position the basket is in but also what the par is then. This done with a little swivel marker that might read, B 4, meaning the basket is in the position and the par is 4. The course plays through similar terrain but not as spectacularly beautiful as the East course. Same large tee pads. Same Mach II baskets with the blue number plate on top.
The holes on West are numbered 19-36. Hole # 20 was a very cool 350' downhill where you have to hit your line. #'s 21 and 23 we're both 200' downhill Ace runs. Ahem. This would be the place where I would indeed mention if I had Aced either of these holes. Uh , no mention! # 25 was another cool downhill only this hole played down the sloping hillside.
This is where I now mention that I now proceeded to get lost as hell. This is also the point where I mention that I did have the DGCR course information sheet, which by the way, gives explicit directions about where to go after 25 and how to follow with path, etc. But being a guy, I don't listen to directions. I don't read them very well so I'm putting this getting lost experience on me.
I somehow managed to get on track and #' s 35 and 36. They didn't impress me much. So what's the deal with the Island basket at the end? It's number
plate says it's # 29. If that's correct, then I'm still wondering around lost.

Cons:
Possibly the biggest problem the West course has is measuring up to the East course. That's a pretty difficult comparison. First, I think the East course has the more interesting terrain to work with.
Many of the handwritten signs only bothered to confuse me more.
What's with the basket that is covered up with the black plastic?
The # 35 Sign is broke off and the bag holder has been broken off.
I'm going to cut the West course a lot of slack here since it's a work in progress and I can't read the directions correctly.

Other Thoughts:
Okay, so the West course is not as awesome as it's big brother. Well, Brad Pitt probably has a big brother, Peter Pitt, who's not as handsome as Brad is. The West needs to be given a nice long breaking in period. From what this club has accomplished with the East course, I'll be expecting big things out of the West course.
