Pros:
+redesigned by someone who wanted to create a challenging course, and it's a tough one
+new Innova Pro 28 Discatcher baskets
+3 sets of tees on most of the holes
+medium set of tees is all concrete
+alternate pin placements on several holes
+next tee signs hanging from the baskets
Cons:
-biggest con for this course is that holes 6-11 are separated from the rest of the holes by about 2 tenths of a mile. 6-11 are the weaker-designed holes held over from the original design, and might not be worth the long walk there & back to play (we actually played 1-5, walked about 150 feet to hole 12 from there, played through 18, then got in the car and drove to 6's tee--11's basket is close to 6's tee so you can do that to avoid the long walks). When I go back to play here, I'll most likely play the 1-5 then 12-18 loop from the medium tees then play those 12 holes from the long, as these 12 holes are much more fun than 6-11.
-holes 6 through 11 also play through a part of campus with a lot of pedestrian traffic. Hole 9 plays across a soccer field, so be patient in this area or even be prepared to skip a hole or two.
Other Thoughts:
I think this course is rated lower than it should be due to it being way way tougher than the average college campus course, and the average college student is a beginner who isn't ready for a challenge yet. It could even be classified on DGCR as "heavily wooded" rather than "moderately wooded" perhaps, as the trees force players to use shots other than the lazy hyzer. The new design is much more challenging and interesting than the original design, and I would rate holes 1-5 and 12-18 as 4 stars if they were their own course--they're that good, with tricky basket placements, some elevation changes, even a nice panoramic view on #14. It's a shame that the course is split though. Holes 6-11 aren't really "bad" holes, but being so far from the bulk of the course and having to deal with the other activities in that area is a let-down compared to the rest of this course. This course is definitely best played on weekends or during breaks in between semesters.
