Played this temporary course set up in the 2015 State Games of America tournament. PROS: Rolling hills were great for uphill & downhill shots.

Played this temporary course set up in the 2015 State Games of America tournament.
PROS: Rolling hills were great for uphill & downhill shots. Tall majestic trees, of all types (pine, cedar & deciduous) some with low hanging canopy's, were fun to navigate around. Great use of the water feature (pond) with fountain. Got to throw over it three times. Once throwing perpendicular across it, twice glancing across the edge, plus one time with it looming straight behind the basket & onlookers at the Tourney HQ! High quality baskets on every fairway, which is not guaranteed on a temp course.
CONS: A couple of the "tee pads" were on up-hill slopes or humps, which made for very awkward starts to fairways. A couple of the baskets were placed unnecessarily close to pine trees (pet peeve of mine), but caused me no trouble today.
The pros far outweighed the cons!
Great temporary course!
Bravo course designers!
