These are my first opinions after my first game at the course redesign, they are subject to change if somehow some way this course ends up feeling different in the long run, but after my first 18 here, I am not pleased. Lazy design. Every trees area has turned into a hyzer spike or tomahawk throw. The ceiling is too low to throw any thing else. It used to be tunnel shots with variety. Now it's just a maze of trees with no clear tunnel. If you love to throw over the top on everything you'll be fine. The old course allowed for variety on the shots. All this course needed was new baskets and lower par. The two holes designed around the 8ft tall baseball fence are very dumb. Hope you have upper body strength to go up and over. The redesign claims it's supposed to be for beginners, but it seems like whoever designed is an avid over the top player who doesn't really focus on the challenge of the actual hole but rather how far they can throw it from the tee pad. Some of us like to play the game the way it's intended through the woods and using a variety of discs to turn and fade throughout the fairway. So the only thing beginners are going to walk out of this course doing is having cut up fingers from climbing fences and maybe a better concept of a spike hyzer, tomahawk, or thumber. The course was perfect before for beginners. You could go up to almost any tea pad and shoes if you wanted to go left or right and learn to play your turn out better or learn to play your fade or learn to play a backhand or learn to play a forehand, but now you have like a mess of trees in front of some of these tee pads. There are a handful of holes that are still okay. But any of the areas that used to be fun because of the trees are now gone. This course is no longer any fun. I'm not the only person that has thought this, numerous people I've spoke to are not pleased with the new design. Hopefully they'll leave a review as well. I gave it a shot though, but as soon as I saw that there was a basket between two baseball fields I knew that this course was not going to be what it once was....

Definitely a harder layout than before. The different shot shaping required makes the course unique to the area. Would love to see some fairways cut in on the par 4 for the landing zone. Also the gaps to be expanded a bit on some of the par 3s. However i think this course will be very good after further adjustments are made. Very challenging when windy. Looking forward to the development of the layout!
