Mount Vernon Nazarene University

#2 has 2 baskets. The short basket on #2 is an elevated basket in the open w no obstacles around it. #3 is fun if you clear the water. Lol I hit a 50ft deuce on #4. The campus is lovely. A lot of open holes. #6 is not currently 594ft. It’s a tough 3. The basket is over the ledge, which is down fairway to the right then w the creek behind it.

#2 has 2 baskets. The short basket on #2 is an elevated basket in the open w no obstacles around it. #3 is fun if you clear the water. Lol I hit a 50ft deuce on #4. The campus is lovely. A lot of open holes. #6 is not currently 594ft. It’s a tough 3. The basket is over the ledge, which is down fairway to the right then w the creek behind it. Ideally you’d want to be throwing your second shot over that ledge and not go passed the basket but there is also trees and brush that can get in the way on that long approach shot. #7 has 2 baskets. #8 is wooded w a left to right fairway good for a forehand or ani drive. It is 3able but could be contentious if you throw a bad first or second shot hitting shit. #11 is the alley drive under 180ft. There is a longer hole like it at Deis in Dover. Also similar to #12 & #13 at Eagle’s Nest in Lancaster. #14 is a horseshoe hole where the fairway loops around to the right. Tough 3. #15 is a mando hole that is a long dogleg left. Big Bomber hyzer around the mando on #15. I took a 4. #16 is a good hole to throw a Thumber if you know how to throw that shot. Otherwise it’s an ani or a forehand around the brush to get a good approach look on your second shot. #17 is very birdiable. #18 is tough where you need to park your drive in a spot to throw a downhill S-curve approach shot. I threw my Thumber off the tee then for me it would be a Sol or Squirrel midrange S-curve approach shot on the second shot into the woods. #18 is a tough 3. Good luck. This course is good. I’m teetering on B to B+. It is worth returning to. After playing it once I’m now debating whether or not to throw a cc here. I definitely would play it again. Like I said, the campus is very attractive.
