Course would get an A, but the hole information signs are gone on back 9.
So this was a great course at the start. Nice signage. Good T pads. Challenging shooting through trees, but a good balance, not very narrow tree corridors. But then on the back 9, I don't think any of the T's had a sign showing info about the hole. So you had to scout out to see where the hole was. If you go regularly, and you know, then this is not an issue. But for the first time out it was kind of a pain.
Other than that, other Pros are: Bathrooms! which is great in this time of COVID. CONS: Lots of thorny undergrowth, so if you are not accurate be prepared to be scratched.
Also, overall if had good signs to figure out the next hole. But hole 10 was quite confusing. So if you go, follow the sign, but then you have to go back down the path all the way back close to where you T'd off for hole 9.
Also beware hole 13. Don't overshoot the chain hole, or you could end up in the pond that is just beyond it.
Have fun. Good course. Well maintained. Just need hole signs on the back 9
