The course is closed and he didn't play it but, hell why not? 3 out of 5.

You are mistaken, the reviewer played the course. Note date played: September 2020.
Very sorry to see that Whippin' Post and The Woodshed are listed as extinct. Does anyone know if this is temporary or permanent?

What review are you referring to? Could you give the name or date?

I stayed at an airbnb back in October that literally backed up to hole 14. I had my family with me though and I don't think my toddler terrors would have appreciated what is considered to be one of Indiana's finest courses.

There was a review posted earlier that was not by wolfhaley. Not sure where it is now but the reviewer basically said he and his wife drove there and the place was closed and that he didn't play it. Still gave it 3/5.

Courses are NOT closed. I spoke with Tony this morning to make sure there was nothing I was unaware of once I saw the status on here. Tim G is on it.
Review in question was from 220feetandimproving and is already gone.

Dude's gonna have to create a new acct to show his face around here again.
Some people just don't understand what the word "private" means. Such people could spend a lifetime in the army, and be discharged a private.

A review of Heritage Park in Flower Mound, Texas. The rating is 3 discs, the lowest rating for the course, but two others are at 3.5, so the number itself isn't outlandish, but the words don't seem to support a rating of "good," the definition of a 3.0 rated course:
Pros: Good technical wooded course for right handed throwers. Tight lines. I really do not have many pros.
Cons: Where to start?
Needs better signage from hole to hole as it is easy to get lost with-in the trails scattered throughout. Weather has eroded the surfaces creating unsafe walkways through the water run off. Hole 5 to 6 is very dangerous.
I feel like they really missed with this course as it favors Right hand dominate players. If you are a back hand dominate lefty, go elsewhere, do not waste your time.
Most to all shots are blind doglegs come with a spotter for first few times.

:\the 3rd under cons he says "keep your disc on the fairway" Like on some courses he really enjoys the rough.?
under pros of the 4th review he says "lots of different situations" and under cons he says "I play this in cold weather only" Like it's the courses fault.:\

We laugh, but a lot of people put in the cons section of a really good course, "I don't live close enough to this course." I mean, true point, but that doesn't belong in the cons.

More on topic, it's actually understandable how courses with multiple layouts (particularly multiple pin placements) can legitimately get different ratings depending on whether you're local or a visitor.
Local may really value the variety that multi and/or rotating pin placements provide, especially when combined with multiple tees. It can really enhance replayability, and I wish my local courses had rotating placements.
That feature is likely to be less important to a visiting player who will probably only play a single layout, and may never play that course again.
In fact, multi-layout courses are likely to be a bit more confusing to navigate, making the experience even less enjoyable for the visitor, especially when time is a factor
But as local, after a few rounds, you learn exactly where to go and where things are, and it's easy to forget your first time when you kept walking up fairways to spot pins on blind holes, or how you played the holes out of order because of something unexpected in the flow.
Not that I didn't realize this years ago, but literally every course I've played this trip reinforced that thought.

In addition to the navigation issues, a first-time, one-time player may not see all the cool features the course offers. Not exactly a "con", but the rating may come out a tad lower than it would if he played everything.
