I have played Tanner Valley.

it has some nice holes. Starts out with a couple innocuous holes out in the open. I think there is a pump on the side of one of the holes with a fence around it. Strange but in the country, strange is normal. So far, so good.

Then on hole #3, it heads into the woods. There are two holes with little light but lots of hungry horse flies.

I have lived in upstate NY for almost my whole life. I have been bitten by a horse fly maybe 20 times. I would say 18 of those bites were incurred on those two holes. Every time I have played that course, and those holes in particular, I would feel a burst of pain, then another, then another. By the time we emerged from the darkness, I would always have a few streams of blood running down my shins to my socks.

Not a bad course. Gives you a nice chance to drive the 13 curves. But beware the horse flies. You have been warned.
