Utilizing tree-lines and landmarks as tee pads makes this a course one that can only be played by those who know the layout (still in production).

There are plenty of monster holes, with the (approximate) distances of each hole to be as follows: #1-300'; #2-590'; #3-660'; #4-600'; #5-435'; #6-565'; #7-775'; #8-330'; #9-540'; #10-500'. It is a fun course to play, but if you veer off of the fairway, be prepared to do some bushwhacking to locate your disc. Lots of thick vegetation (vines, briers, trees and thorns), but to date, no lost discs.

The pins are portable pins, but still make great catchers. 1 is a sturdy homemade model, while the others are DGA M-14 baskets. There are only 4 pins, but the set-up of the course allows for the flow to go quite nicely. Having 2 games going simultaneously would be feasible, but no more than that, or crossing would occur.

Again, it is a great course layout, but due to it's in-production status, the lack of marked tees and signage, and the portable pins, I am giving this course a C- rating. In my heart though, this course is A+++. It is because of this course that all the other courses I play seem to have short holes, with only a few exceptions. I feel privileged to have it in my back yard!
