Confusing track

I grabbed a discounted online tee time and played Railside for the first time. To be fair, this course has some potential. There are about 5 or 6 decent holes. Then, there are some holes that are completely the opposite, either way too easy or completely out of proportion. There is a par 3, 60 yard hole for example followed by a hole that is built on the driving range with no fairway.

I was pretty disappointed even at the discounted fee. If I would have paid the full $40 I would have been furious. The entire layout is confusing. Old holes with permanent signs are still in place while cheap, laminated signs call out the new hold number. Yardage markers also appear to be way off.

The restaurant, bar and deck was nice. There is potential to MAYBE convert this back into a 9 hole course with legitimate holes. The 12 hole format that is currently in play is highly suspect.
