The Udisc aggregate score for this course is 4.2, a number likely accurate but in need of narration. SCB is better than that, in terms of a great property with beautiful hills, woods, and shot variety, with caveats. New Discatcher baskets are also a plus, as is the potential for a meal and drink after, though no bathrooms available when brewery is closed. The score pushes down toward a 4, for several reasons: the narrowess of the lot means hole lines overlap or are close together, at times in confusing ways, such as hole 3, which points toward the hole 6 basket and looks like a natural course flow. Add to that way finding challenges, makes for easy confusion. Some baskets have next tee arrows in them and there are some white arrows to aid navigation, but inconsistent tee signs and arrows make the first play challenging. As well, there are several steep 600' par 4 holes that reflect the least fun aspects of dg: throwing straight uphill over and over. Odd also that hole 18 finishes so far from the start (again, lot limitations). Finally, tees are turf on dirt/gravel, which some places are not level and have bumps to navigate. So, better tee signs, pads, and directions would help get close to a 4.5, but given what can be done with the property, in not sure Flow can be improved enough. Nevertheless, SCB is well worth the drive for some really memorable holes, but be prepared for the hike; course is NOT cart friendly!

Course is a challenge but a blast. Better baskets would be good and clearing back thorns on the wooded holes would be wonderful. Beer and food is EXCELLENT.
