Basically just post courses where you shoot way over and feel like you had a solid round; and left grateful you had all of your discs still.
My example is Leigh Farms because I played from the Advanced Gold tees for the first time today and every basket was in the long position. I finished up with a 68 (7+) and honestly I felt happy to get that. It took some insanely skilled (lucky) second shots out of deep woods to keep me close to par on some holes.
4 for instance has some of the thickest stuff I've ever seen on a course right next to the fairway (road). I felt like an idiot for going in it because my first drive went about 350 and landed right off the road. I threw my wraith next for kicks, I kinda tripped up and ended up throwing my wraith extremely nose up so it just went right in to the crazy stuff. took me a good 20 minutes to find it.
7 requires you to play up on a mound. if you miss the fairway and mound you end up on the side of the mound which is crazy unstable terrain covered in crazy long grass. Luckily my disc was easy to spot.
On 9 I threw my tee shot off to the right in to the woods, I played out and back on to the mound and couldn't find my disc for a bit.
A good number of the wooded holes have random trees sprinkled in the fairway, its honestly a matter of luck for anyone who isn't amazingly accurate. It's like DB's on steroids in some spots.
I know the course is a work in progress but the place could use a serious makeover in that some underbrush could be cleared out. I might hit the peoples up running it and ask when the next time they are going out and working on it.
Having said all of that I think the layout is pretty well devised for the advanced tees. The Rec course is just bad and dangerous because people on either of the courses could easily smack you with a disc while you're out there. The advanced course is a real challenge though, it humbled me.
