Right now there are some issues with the temp layout that can be fixed fairly easily.
Hole 1 doesn't quite sit right with me. I like the idea of it, but the only good low route is the sidearm/lefty S curve through the trees, and it doesn't produce a birdie opportunities even on a good shot. The high routes provide good birdie opportunities, but require a decent arm to throw them. Right now there's no reason to throw through the middle and no way to play it safe for people that throw less than 350'. I feel like a small adjustment could make this hole really good.
Hole 2 may have a small chance of throwing over the bank, so moving the teebox northwest some should correct the angle and remove that risk.
Hole 4 has trees on the left side that may grow to remove a needed shot option. The teebox was previously on the other side of the road which put it in the line of fire of bad shots from hole 3, but somewhere in the middle (not on the road) can probably be found that solves both situations.
Hole 8 is in a swampy area that is nasty right now and can probably be a lot worse. There is likely a better hole option somewhere in between 7 and 9, or elsewhere in the park.
Hole 11 has a very lucky green. The basket will be moved out into the more open area on the left.
Hole 12 right now is just kind of long and boring, without a large enough landing area on the drive and a wide open approach area to the pin. It will be likely have the tee and/or basket shortened, and the teepad may be move into the area in between 11 and 1 that is unused in order to create a more interesting shot.
That being said, its a temp layout only and people need to start thinking about other great holes and layouts that could be put out on this beautiful chunk of land. Keep in mind that we cannot clear ANY trees to make this happen.
