The layout and flow are a mess. On a short course, I threw at the wrong basket far too many times due to overlapping holes, misleading tee pad direction, and multiple baskets in view. • Front 9 is fully wooded but extremely tight and overlapping. Hole #5 by the creek is the most enjoyable and creative, but holes are packed too closely to be consistently fun. • Back 9 opens up and is clearly better. #10, #11 (once you find the correct basket), #14, #15, and #18 provide the most variety and interest. • Hole distances feel inaccurate, with several listed lengths not matching how the holes actually play. • Tee pads are generally in decent shape, but signage and basket visibility repeatedly create confusion. • There is clear potential here. With proper redesign and club involvement, this could become a solid short course, but as it stands, it is easily the weakest of the Rocky Mount courses.
