Pros:

- baskets
- cement tees, if you can find them
- wooded terrain and rolling hills

Cons:

- no signage at all
- navigation of this course is almost impossible if you don't know where you're going

Other Thoughts:

Not worth playing it you don't know the layout. Great piece of land for a course though.

Fun 9 Hole Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 13, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I like this course very much I find it the right amount of challenging, and playable to keep me coming back. You will have to take what I say with a grain of salt because this is the course I learned to play on and the one that I most often play.
-Well laid out course
-Nice Tee Pads and Baskets
-The holes are short, but the trees give it some good challenge
-Well Maintained

Cons:

These cons are not meant to detract from the VA I'm very grateful that they built such a beautiful course, and that they do a good job of maintaining it.
-No signs at the T pads can make it difficult at first to make sure you are on the right course
-The course is pretty short, but it is helpful that you can see the pins from the T pads
-Right now it is only a 7 hole course two of the fairways are in the middle of a construction site.

Other Thoughts:

As it says on the course discretion page it is intended for play by veterans and staff but respectful players can play the course. Whenever I'm on the course I carry off any trash I find and try to leave it better than I find it (should do this at all courses).
