My 200th! 2+ years

Pros:
On a personal note, my 200th course played!
This course plays behind an elementary school with 4 holes in the open and the final five holes in the woods. The baskets are gorgeous MVP Black Hole Portals, but that's the only equipment you'll find here. There was a sign or two that pointed out the next tee though.
I thought it was pretty cool that the holes go up in difficulty. The first hole has no obstacles and then they gradually add trees to get trickier and trickier. Finishing on #9 where the birdie is very challenging.

Cons:
No tees or tee signs. You'll have to play with a local (in my case, my nephew who goes to school at Amberly) to know where to tee off or where to go next.
The rough is pretty bad on the back few holes. Going off the fairway is pretty brutal. I think that the rough needs to be cut back, especially given that the target audience is elementary school kids who will inevitably not hit the fairway. You don't want to ruin the fun for that age group.

Other Thoughts:
All in all, a pretty decent/typical 9 hole course. From the longs, it plays like a typical 9er, not what you'd expect from an elementary school. It's great that the school is using the woods for disc golf as I'm not quite sure they'd be used otherwise.
