Both of these have a lot of tweener holes from the longs....and lots of holes have lots of random trouble late which compounds that problem. This issue knocks both courses down at least half a disc in my book since a great drive earns you little score-wise compared to decent drive - both leave you with a NAGS (John Houcks term for "not a golf shot"....ie a 60-160' upshot).
I tend to think those courses are a bit overrated.
Burchfield Park, Devils Den, MI - Massive course with many options. I played the gold course. Phenomenal. Next time up, I will play the Blue course. The blues had more sculpted pins and greens.

When I was in DWF, at every course I played I was thinking this would be about 1 disc lower rated if it was in the mid-atlantic.

2 years ago, had nothing to with weather, just the style of golf, type of vegetation and lack of elevation. The mud at Cedar Hill was quite epic though. :gross:It's been raining here lately. The drought hasn't broken yet, but things are a lot better than when you played here (last year???)
I haven't played the courses in the Mid-Atlantic. I hope to soon.

One I reviewed today, that just keeps getting improved.
O'Hauser Park, Neenah, WI
Really nice course that's overshadowed locally by Rollin' Ridge. Course wise, it's pretty damn fun, and should probably be over 4.0.
I thought Borderland in Easton, MA is even underrated at 4.21. It's probably top 3 of the courses I've played. I'm thinking the rubber tees are what's holding it back...but the golf is absolutely phenomenal.
Another one of O'Hauser!! Same distance from my place as the Ridge but only find myself there 2-3 times a year, which i sad because it really is an awesome course. Good ole' Wisco is just so loaded with great courses that O'Hauser doesn't even make it into the top 20 on the site.
