Not for visitors to the area

If you like to see the landing area from the tee, this is not your course. The majority of drives are blind and one has no way to know if the ball rolled out, bounced left or right, or maybe even hit a tree. As a result, a good deal of time is spent searching for a ball that should have been down the left side of the fairway, for example, but cannot be found anywhere near the line it was on when it was last seen. This adds considerably to pace of play, unfortunately. Perhaps locals who know the lay of the land can navigate the hilly terrain successfully, but a visitor like me will find it very frustrating. On top of that, the course is in bad condition. Many tee boxes are bare dirt as are some patches of the fairway and many parts of what should be rough. That can be fixed but the blind tee shots are a permanent "feature".

I understand your frustration. The first time I played this course I was mad that nobody told me about the hazard at the end of the dogleg on #5. I hit a perfect shot and found myself in a pond. Not happy. Better markings are definitely needed.
If you're ever visiting again, I'd recommend this course over other municipal courses in the area exactly BECAUSE of those elevation changes and slight doglegs.
It has become my favorite course in the area, even above the Pete Dye designed Kearney Hills.
