+ SIxteen of the holes have well-built, colorful and easily understood tee signs. The other two just have numbered wooded blocks where the tee ends.
+ The whole course takes place in a quiet and mostly wooded area surrounding an American Legion park.
+ The baskets are brightly visible and numbered, but...

- ...There are few 'next' indicators. This is combated somewhat by there usually being just one path to follow and the tee signs having numbers indicating loosely where the next tee is.
- The tees are simple dirt or gravel. Sometimes there is a wooden frame. Sometimes there is an uncontained mess.
- No lost disc box, practice basket or information area.
- There are rocks and roots everywhere.
- The flat wooded holes get kind of samey.

The course at American Legion 781 is an efficient little course that pulls no punches with its players. Most of its fairways play in dense woods and requires precise (or lucky!) throws.
My favorite one to play was hole2 because of the combination of a gentle upslope and giant rock with a stand of dark pines.

The distances are manageable, though. I always appreciate it when course designers understand that heavily wooded fairways ought to be shorter, on average, to compensate for the increased difficulty. This has the added benefit of better maintained fairways, since the distances are shorter! My favorite fairway to look at was hole14 because it resembled something like a cursed path, which is always fun to see at a course. Plus, shorter distances also encourage new players to try again more often.

It's not all good news, though.
The gritty tee areas can be a bummer-- especially after wet weather.
I really didn't like hole6 because it plays right next to the entrance road, and that fairway's gaps into the circle were kind of crazy.
Be sure to throw brightly-colored discs so you can find them if a nasty ricochet happens. The undergrowth can get kind of nuts here in the summertime. There is no lost disc box.
There are loose rocks and exposed roots all over the place but especially in the wooded holes, which are two-thirds of the eighteen here. Worse yet, the undergrowth can sometimes hide some of those tripping hazards. The most notable offender is hole17, which I have affectionately nicknamed "Ankle Sprain Valley." Thankfully, the overall elevation isn't demanding. After hole4, the course becomes largely flat. Still, players with bad knees, bad ankles or who are just accident-prone should take it slow in those rocky parts. Watch your step, of course.
In addition, those wooded holes can feel repetitive. On flat ground, it's hard to pick apart one wooded tunnel from another unless it does something noteworthy. Hole15, for example, takes the player on a sharp ninety-degree dogleg right pretty early on. That's kind of sadistic, but I'm not sure if I hate it because at least it stands out from the other wooded holes.

In closing, the course at American Legion does enough things right that it gets a gentle recommendation. It's nothing to write home about, but people like me who prefer wooded disc golf will find plenty to smile about. The downhill tree-dodger of hole1 is a friendly greeting, and the slanted hillside as you escape hole18's forest is a lovely wave good-bye.
Just have a jokebook or something handy for that long walk back from hole18.

-Wooded course
-Well maintained
-a few open holes to throw longer shots
-mix of backhand and forehand tee shots (for me front 9 were mostly RHBH and back 9 were mostly RHFH)

-Signage. at one point I'm sure the wood burned signs were beautiful. Now they are dated and faded
-Finding the first hole. (its behind the playground to the right of the parking lot)
-Hole 15. Personally I cant stand a 90 degree right angle on a hole. This one is LIGHT putter throw for 50 feet then 200 feet straight. Just make it an enjoyable hole by getting rid of the 50 foot putter shot to start this hole.
-Gravel tee pads. they are well maintained. but concrete is better
-The walk back from 18 to the parking lot isn't ideal. but its not like walking isn't part of the game.

This course is not your typical putter only par 3 course. It will test the most experienced players. Shooting under par is an accomplishment. You'll pull out every disc in your bag and throw every angle. It takes a few rounds to really find those "local routes."

The peat bog/trailer park area hole is one of my all time favorite holes. Aim to the left side of the stone wall and if you clear wall by two feet or so you get rewarded with a tap in. (the wind can make a difference on this hole as well).

Kudos to the designer of hole 16 "dedicated to the mind of Kurt Vonnegut".... brilliant, and I can actually see some Kilgor Trout in the way the old damaged tree blocks the basket at a weird angle.

walk from 18 back to parking lot....if you start on 8 you can go from 18 to 1....can be nice alternative way to play.

Mostly short holes that will punish you if your shots are off.

bring the bug spray, wear long pants

This is my home course so I play it a lot, over time as it gets more worn in Previously hard to maneuver areas are becoming more playable adding to enjoyment.

Enjoy the M-60 (A3?) tank as you walk back to the parking area.

Beer on site!
Multiple lines to throw for each hole
Navigation is easy and signage is good
Rewarding when you're having a good day
Good mix of open/semi-open/tight holes
Plenty of parking
Very clean

18 finishes very far from the parking lot
Additional uses of the property could render some holes unplayable
A fair amount of "poke and hope" holes

Overall, this is just a fun course to play. Removing just a couple trees would make this one of the best courses in the area. Everything is well maintained and very clean.

Course was challenging, left me feeling satisfied, great mix of tight woods, open-ness, obstacles, baseball fields haha, and very very fine line shots to be made. Baskets were in excellent condition, signage was good enough to figure things out, luckily i went with someone who played the course before.

Course is challenging as hell, there are about 4-5 holes where there is no line.... just throw.... hit trees.... hopefully bounce somewhere so that you do have a line. Not sure where they were going with those holes, absolutely no where to throw but into trees and hope for the best. I played when it rained.... place was a mess.


Legion people can be pretty pissy with people parking in the parking lot. You must park off to the left before you get in the lot, the workers at the Legion were VERY quick to tell me if im playing disc golf they will tow my car as soon as we started playing. Thanks bud, hope you have an awesome day too.... there were 40 open spots, but your were concerned with the one i was parked in.

Overall I cant complain, I would go back, I WILL PARK in the area NOT in front of the Legion haha.

Cool place... i enjoyed myself, nice mix of shots, flick, backhand, tomahawk, if you play par golf here, you had a decent day.

Played +5 my first round, played +1 my 2nd round.... was soaked so i went home.

Maintained well. Decent mix of holes. A couple of memorable holes. Liked the tee signs on the first few holes. Nice locals. Pub on premises, gotta dig that.

18 finishes in a different zip code. Holes 6 and 11 seem kind of stuck there to glue the rest of the course together. Hole 5 needs a fairway.

Ran into a couple of very helpful locals. Helped me get about.
