Course is close to the mountain bike trails, so this is great chance to get in a ride and throw some discs. Many holes are in the trees with tight fairways.
All cement tees. Course description says natural.
Signature hole has to be the water hole #6, which sits along the lake. If you fade to the right, plan to lose your disc in the water. Front 9 has some open tee shots, nice to warm up. Back 9 is all in the trees.
Parking lot is in the same area as the boat launch, easy to find off Africa Rd.

This feels like a good course just waiting for the tweaks it needs to be great. It is a bit rough with muddy patches and stumps in the trail. It is also a little crowed with the amount of trees in the field of play and needs some, but not many, removed. The water hole is a no play for me when the water level is high. Very little would be needed to make this a 4 for me, but it is not there yet.

This 1 I'd call a diamond in the rough,needs some grass growth in some areas but I do like the mix of holes,you've got long, short(not too many but they're there),1 good water hole, 1 bad water hole(if you can't curve hard left back into the shore don't even try it= disc eater). Needs a little clearing out but not much,very nice naturey feel. For me the signature would have to be hole 2 which plays over 500 feet(from the am tees) good thing 1 of the obsticles is a water fountain cause you may need it. I wouldn't drive 2 hours for it but I will drive from Cols. to play it again.
