Im a old player just getting back into the sport i have been away from the sport a good 10 years. I didnt do to bad i shot a +14 lots of room to improve because the course is not hard.Alot of open holes and the tree runs are easy birdies Hope to be at +7 next time i play there
This was a good course. I was from out of town(out of state actually) and I had a hard time spotting where to start, but keep looking there is a sign and parking lot at the starting point. I thought the course layout was kinda odd. There is a full 18 course labeled and then another course A-F that is split up between the 18 course. So pay attention what runs you are playing on your scorecard. Make sure you don't put a mark down for run C while playing the 18.
The course is pretty open for the most part. I definitely used all my discs, which is something I like to have in a course. There is a few holes on the back 9 that are in the woods and are pretty narrow so again I am happy to report this course has diverse runs.
There is one run that takes u over a pond... of course I had to go over it, well... what a time for a bad throw. Maybe someday my driver will wash up on the bank.
There weren't any par ratings the signs for this course, so I made them up based on prior course experience.
All in all I thought it was a good course.
Most of the holes are long and open, with a few scattered trees. Be careful when you are close to the lake, especially if you are a new player. Good place for distance drives and rollers.
