This is a great course to work on your distance game, your wind game, and for practicing upshots and drives up and down hills. The course has good elevation change (especially among central Kentucky disc golf courses).

There are concrete tee pads, with many holes featuring multiple tee pads. The primary tee pads are easy to find as there are signs near most of them and at least wooden posts near all of them. Plus, other than between holes 18 and 1, there are few long walks between holes.

There is a hole that is 900+ feet, while my favorite was #5, a 600+ foot downhill shot that I easily got a 3 on (pretty good for an 818 rated hack).

The course is not very enjoyable to play. It is entirely wide open with very few trees. It really doesn't matter where your shots go, it's pretty much all the same. There was a sense while playing the course that we had already made all of these shots repeatedly. In fact, I used very few discs (5) from my bag of 12.

The course is overly long. There are very few birdie opportunities for newer players or players with little distance. The vast majority of the holes are 350+ from the long tees. The problem with the shorter tees (and some of the signs indicate that there are up to 3 tees per hole) is that they are not marked in many cases, or if there is concrete, it is hard to find, especially in the high grass that always seems to be a feature at this course. When we played, they had at least mowed half of the course. But this is one of those courses where you can lose a disc in the middle of an open field.

The signs and many of the tee pads are in disrepair (this is the oldest course in Central Kentucky). The signs that remain show many trees that simply do not exist.

The course lacks variety and creativity, at least as it stands now (apparently there had been plans when it was put in for a large pond and many trees to be planted). As such the course is boring but still has potential if tweaked. There are many interesting pin locations that could be used that would make the course more fun and interesting.

If you play on a hot day, bring lots of water and sunscreen. There is little shade on the course, and the layout does not give you the opportunity at any point to be close to your vehicle. In fact, hole #10's tee is the farthest from the tee you will be on the entire course. Also, hole #18 does not end relatively close to hole #1.

We played to the wrong basket on hole #12. The sign was not helpful and each basket (12 and 13) was in line with the tee pad and about the same distance away. (For the record, on hole #12, shoot toward the parking lot).

We were practically the only people there on a nice day. We saw 2 others playing, but I do not think the course gets a lot of play. And watch out for cacti. I am not kidding (hole #13).

As I said the course has potential if tweaked, and in its original design would have been better with the pond and trees. As it is now, it is not a fun course to play.

However, a steady diet of this course with others in Lexington would give a player a good, well-rounded game. There is simply no other place in Lexington to find this kind of distance and hills.

I think the course would also be much more enjoyable for advanced and pro players than it was for this short-armed novice.
