Seven Acres of Trees is a private course established in late summer of 2008... designed by Beck Jensen, Chris Schaich, Mike Gordon and myself Matt Hylton... Special thanks to Chris Conrad, Elliot Leuthold, Jeff Hagen and other P.O.M.A.P. members for course maintenance... also thanks to Bob Horning for donating the old basket tops from the canyon course and Derick Hicks for donating angle iron to construct the baskets.

The name says it all... with an average hole length of 250ft don't be fooled... every hole is heavily wooded and extremely technical most w/ guarded pin locations... there are two O.B.'s and two water hazords... elevation comes into play on almost every fairway... most tee boxes are graveled... there is one universal tee box for holes #4 and #8... the course is usually set up as a pole course but has a few metal baskets that are easily transported to the pin locations...

The course starts out shooting down hill W/ fairways #1 & #2 though two tunnels of 40 year old overgrown Christmas trees finding hole #2's pin location under a huge oak tree on a grassy hill.

#3's fairway shoots across a water hazard into natural wooded areas.

#4's fairway winds it's way through medium woods into the valley floor.

#5's wooded fairway shoots up towards a slightly elevated pin location... followed by a short walk to #6's tee box.

#6's fairway which shoots up a sharp embankment on the side of the valley hill (there is an O.B. behind the pin's location).

#7's fairway starts out w/ an elevated teebox and shoots down a slightly wooded area along the property line (there is an O.B. to the left side of the fence) only to come to a wall of trees which guard the pin's location.

#8's fairway which uses #4's tee box (only universal tee box) shoots across another water hazard to the pin located on a stream side hill slope... after a short walk through a field you wind up at #9's tee box

#9's elevated fairway shoots back into another tunnel of those overgrown Christmas trees revealing an unguarded pin location.

The course is constantly undergoing course maintenance... future plans hold for alternate pin locations an/or alternate tee boxes locations and a full set of baskets... thus the reason i have rated it as a B+ until the course is completed.
