This was a fun hole. The fairway is this tight the whole way.

We played a combination of both courses, the “marathon” layout. Front 18 are perfect, lots of variety and great tees. Back 18 had worse tee areas and UDisc didn’t line up with the layout for majority of the holes. Besides that, great course, had a great time!

Main course is 5/5 to me super great. The woods course is a work in progress but I heard it was new, and still was fun the teepads are just a bit short on a few.
