We got lost looking for a brand new course this morning and decided to play Camden (the course we were looking for, Camden 2, shares the parking lot with the first Camden. We were a few feet from it, but couldn't see it. It hasn't officially opened yet, but it is playable). Camden starts out with some really easy par 4 shots that you should be able to birdie. They are nice open shots on the grass, but with big elevation changes that make it more interesting than your average grassy park play. After about 5 holes you head into the woods. The trees and bushes are your enemies here and can hide your discs. Somebody cut the tops of some saprolings off, but left about 8" of sharpened spikes I tripped on and scratched my shins up a bit, but I survived. You stay in the woods for some tricky shots, but not too hard, until the last three holes which are back out on the green. It's a good course. Bret, one of the guys I went with, says it is his new favorite in the area (he got a -9 so he was pleased). I ended with -3, a new personal best at this course.
We tried the first 4 holes at Camden 2 when we finished. It is a tough course completely in the woods. Think Corbin with big ravines, tighter trees, more underbrush, awesome bridges, and 600' + shots. I'll tell you more about it when I play the whole thing.
