Get to goto this! Hopefully its a fun course and i dont play like crap.

[MiKeNoE7]

wow i didnt like that course at all. What am I trying to be skinny by the end of the month almost throwing everything I got in EVERY throw. Im sorry for them over there but that course was by far the worst one Ive been to. IM SORRY. It just im not ready for full blow out strength accuracy. I can see myself playing it again in a year or 2 when Im half way decent. But if you like to throw hard 24/7 ON every throw. This course is for you. Tough techinical course and especially when competing against locals.

I really like the course the only thing that sucked was not having any towels when the rain was really coming down and i mean i was throwing all understable the second round cause i couldnt get a grip and my valks looked like destroyers haha. but i would really love to play the course again when im dry and its not terrible weather conditions.

[MiKeNoE7]

yea its alright for those who are intermediate, its just for beginners I wouldnt recommend. Course was decent but having to throw almost full strength every throw kinda bothered me. PLus trees...trees...and some more trees.

well, the things that you don't like about the course are what makes the course a good course.  It gives you a challenge to see what you can do to improve on your game.  I don't care too much for the new 731' hole, whatever it was, wish I hadn't overthrown my approach to take an easy 4.  Those two holes (12 & 13) were added and 2 from the woods were removed - which in the long run is a good thing because there were discs flying every direction in the woods on West, now it's more controlled.  The pin placement on 9 West was super tough.

East was pretty cool - I like the pro pad on 15 - I chicken arm'd it though because of the rain.  It definitely is a course that challenges you to get more distance out of your drives!

[MiKeNoE7]

Defintly Scott. I will be playing there again but not anytime soon cause when it comes to long distance drives, your control is thrown out the window. But as time will tell, practice makes perfect. So, in the end its a decent course for the more distant driver players. As for myself, Im into nice and relaxed technical shots. Cmon, you know a course is super long knowing your buzz is just outta range for every hole unless you get an intense rip outta it.
