Wow, willie surprised me again (and I am not the only one apparently) with a very "unusual" golf course... to say the least !
I thought I had seen everything, but I did not expect to see railroads tracks across the first fairway with wagons... and a train whistle as a bonus ! Thank God, the train was not moving but, at the same time, I could not stop thinking about some players being bothered by birdsongs... so, I can't imagine how they would feel here !
Once you get over the "shock", this par-71 is fun to play, with well done plantings, lovely trees and a few elevated fairways and greens, surrounded by a nice panorama.
Besides the 1st hole, I like the short dogleg to the left par-5 6th, the uphill green of the par-4 8th, and the par-4 9th, where you get to see your "friendly" wagons again !
A special mention also for the par-3 3rd and 13th holes, which are very short : around 100 yards, give or take a few yards ! (By the way, there are distributing machines behind the tee of the 13th hole and on the green of the much longer par-3 16th, this time with two lamp posts next to it : why just on this hole ?).
On the back 9, I like the par-4 10th hole with its uphill tee shot, the dogleg to the left par-4 11th and the par-5 12th, where partially hidden houses are very close to the fairway.
My favorite holes are the par-4 15th hole, with that small house facing the lake near the green, and the par-5 18th where you will need to hit your approach shot over... railroads tracks, wagons, a small pond and... bunkers !
This "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" approach might not please everyone, but if you want a very original experience while playing on a golf course, this might be the one to try. As for me, I loved it and will definitely keep this course, even though I did not "hear the whistle blow a hundred miles" like the Foggy Mountain Boys...

Hi Willy,
Not first class but enjoyable anyway and I appreciate that you keep producing despite some negative comments and unfair rating.
Thanks for sharing, as I always enjoy your courses.
Cheers
Brian

The train whistle on the first hole really got my attention. Not sure why a passenger car was hooked to freight cars but what the heck. Course played smoothly. The 18th hole was the biggest suprise with both a train crossing and water hazzard. I found that I enjoyed my round because it was different. Nice job willie.
