there's forrest alongside every fairway, and most fairways have a water hazard. If you hit a lot of worm burners, or your drives are unpredictable, you're going to lose some balls. then you have to hit it over that pond to the green. the 8th hole in particular has a ridiculous amount of water going out into the fairway, so you have to drill a perfect shot about 200 yards-but not too far, or it'll go into another pond. most of them have some sort of water hazard that protrudes out into your line of fire. almost no holes are straight into the great wide open fairway. my friend who i was golfing with lost lost at least five balls. i lost only one ball, more by luck than anything. so if you don't hit the fairway, you can kiss your ball goodbye. the fairways can be quite narrow, and they are lined with what is basically forrest. basically, every hole has water, and a lot of reeds and stuff. it's only 9 holes, but they are challenging and interesting.
