I finally don’t hit a tree and dart into the woods, but can’t find my disc on the fairway in waist height grass. One tee pad was almost entirely consumed by the weeds. The tee areas (longs at least) could use some maintenance. Beautiful course. Would have enjoyed much more if was more kept up with. Still thankful for the course!

Nice teepads and signage, but the course design has somewhat to be desired. Keep an eye out for disks, since many of the shots are close to others. Also, for some reason holy 9 is one of the farthest from the entrance, which makes playing just half the course rather difficult. Not too bad overall.

Don't go in the rough, it's literally nothing but thorns to the point that they may as well line the fairways with barbed wire. I lost 2 discs in the thick and thorns having never played the course before. Scenery was A tier though and hole design was great. Signage was good but deduct a point for some of the back 9 baskets pointing you in the wrong direction. Teepads would be fine if they were flat but many of them have formed to the uneven terrain underneath, putting plywood under the rubber pad would be a quick and easy fix. Good, but not great course overall.

Great looking camp ground with a wooded course. Lots of water and low areas, bring bug spray. Plenty of shade. Thank you to the private owners, very good experience

fun course! mostly wooded, mix of uphills and downhills. a few open grass shots. nice water features, and beautiful views! No benches at any tees, that would be my only recommendation

Super fun course to play. The shot variety is very good and the design makes very good use of the terrain. Signage is also superb. The only thing holding this course back is the rubber mats for tees. Overall if you are in the area it's well worth your time to check it out.

@kransfamily

Cut back some prickers in the rough. Great course, otherwise.

Needs better fairways. Too many holes without fair lines. Lot of spray and pray

Course upkeep was terrible. Many pads are dangerous. Some really cool lines and views. Use spotters in summer months. Great baskets. Solid use of terrain, both uphill and downhill.

The woods are tight and overgrown. And the grass is rarely mowed outside of the fairways. Lots of hiking and throwing uphill and some really fun downhill shots. We transitioned to the short baskets for the back 9 and that made things more fun and easy, but there are no tee signs for the short baskets so you need to check the long basket for the basket position and OB information. Baskets are in great shape for the wooded course.

Pretty wide for a mostly woods course. Lots of up and down hills, a drivable par 4 that even average throwers can reach in 1, some water hazards that won't eat your disc.... it's a really fun course.

@erdvigandrew

Played close tees, really enjoyed it. Lots of short technical throws with fair pars. Could be maintained and cleaned a little better but for the most part and fun and enjoyable course.

This is a good woods-style course with 2 well-designed layouts. Short layout is suited for less experienced players but even veterans will find it fun. Long layout is great blend of variety that will test your game. The 2 things holding this course back are the inconsistent upkeep and the tees which have not held up too well. Property is very serene and a pleasure to be on.

Excellent design with beginner friendly short tees and long tees to challenge the advanced players game. Mostly wooded holes. Needs some playing to tramp down the brush, that’s all.

Some of the best tee pads. Very wooded and tight fairways but still with defined lines. The course is overgrown at times but when the local league comes through and clears it for tournaments it's fantastic. The shorts are very short, yet still provide quite the challenge. The longs will reward those with 500ft arms but only if you have accuracy. One of the most challenging courses in the area without any gimmicks

I live 3 miles from this course and have played many times. I highly recommend this course. I mostly play the short holes which are nice for beginners. The holes are almost all in the woods with open fairways.

Extremely overgrown and tall grass in fairways.
