[Not So] Sunny Lake is longer than Punderson from the blue tees. It's mean and I like it. This course will build or destroy your confidence. It's taken 89 - 100 strokes and ~3 hours to complete rounds. Lots of woods, water, and distance. Holes 3, 8, & 15 should be par 5's. Very few par 3 holes.
There is no course map or tee signs. To play, you really need to walk the course a few times or play with someone who has played a full round. Remember - baskets with orange rims are not in-play (on hole 1, 2, 3, & 18). I got a course map from the ranger and wrote numbers on it. I will post in the photos for Hole 1.
there's actually 2 courses built into 1 parcel of land that was used for the course. It's very unique and it's going to be confusing. but your right, the orange baskets will be for the recreational players in mind and the rest of the baskets will be for the rest . At the present time, ... more
there's actually 2 courses built into 1 parcel of land that was used for the course. It's very unique and it's going to be confusing. but your right, the orange baskets will be for the recreational players in mind and the rest of the baskets will be for the rest . At the present time, if playing the rec course you will be playing to some baskets that are NOT orange. The course is still in development, so please keep that in mind as well as not reviewing the course until Bill Griffith gives the go ahead. The course is open for play, if playing the long course with the leaves on the ground expect to play 3-3.5 hours. This course is going to be loved by many, but patience is key right now as the course isn't really ready until next spring, I'm guessing.
That is great there are two courses. I look forward to the improvements in 2016. I see they have many fairway trees already marked for removal. Bill Griffith designed an excellent course. Sunny Lake is a beautiful park.
