This course hasn't been reviewed much in a few years, and it seems like some old flaws have been corrected. I found it to be a very good course, playing from Blue (middle) tees to "B" (long) baskets in July of 2021.



+ Three sets of tees and two complete sets of baskets. The 6200' layout we played had plenty of challenges. There are longer Gold tees that change some holes substantially, while adding 2000'. The shorter Reds simplify and shorten the holes to make the course beginner-friendly


+ The course is mostly wooded, with some long open holes sprinkled in for variety. Fairways are not particularly narrow, but there are plenty of doglegs here, so the trees define the throwing lines and protect the greens


+ There's a surprising amount of elevation change on holes that play near the (substantially) raised soccer fields. Holes 8, 10, 11, and 12 are all designed to take advantage: considerable downhill and uphill throws, along with sidehill stances come into play


+ The signage is excellent (this seems to be a big change over earlier reviews). Each sign shows the lines and lengths for all possible combinations of the three tees and two baskets, indicates OB and other notable park features, includes topographic lines, and points the direction of the next tees. You really couldn't ask more from tee signs


+ Baskets have painted wooden arrows hanging below the cage showing the directions of the Gold, Blue and Yellow tees (often three different directions!)


+ Raised basket 8B is a nice touch

- The "A" baskets are Mach 3's that look pretty old and rusty. I did not play them, so I don't know how well they still catch


- Much of the course plays near walking paths in this multi use park. More importantly, some holes have paths that cross the line of play


- One notable flaw in the design is that holes 13 and 14 cross each other playing in opposite directions. I played on a quiet day, so it wasn't a big deal. But on busy days these create some danger of throwing on other groups, along with very likely slowdowns to play

~ Judging from pictures and reviews, it seems like mud can be a real problem after substantial rains, especially as you get closer to the soccer fields with the steep sides down to the course. The picture of hole #10 on this site show how dramatic the impact can be, creating a temporary "lake" approaching the basket


~ Not really a flaw, but it's worth noting that the layouts are so substantially different that you might have trouble staying spread out from other groups playing at the same time if they're not playing the same tees or baskets as your group. The Red tees and the A baskets are so much shorter that groups will be playing much faster than those playing the longer layouts


~ The strongest feature of this course is the multiple layouts for play, with each showing a variety of holes (wooded, open, doglegs, up and down elevation changes). There's something for everyone here, whether you're a relative newbie playing the reds, or you're looking for an 8000' challenge


COURSE AMENITIES:
Concrete and paver tees, excellent signage, "A" baskets are old Mach 3's, "B" baskets are newer DD Veterans. Very cart friendly. Big public park with lots of bathrooms and other facilities. Parking could be a little tight in the lot nearest the first tee on busy days



TL;DR
With three sets of tees and two complete sets of baskets, there's something for everyone here. Mostly wooded park course, with some long open holes sprinkled in. Excellent signage, easy navigation, concrete and paver tees, newer baskets (DD) are excellent. Holes near the soccer fields can get really muddy and flooded. Many holes have walking trails alongside or crossing. Great course if its dry and the park isn't crowded

Very nice course. Wide variety of challenges among the 18 holes. Some good distance opportunities as well. Well maintained and clear descriptions of layout available.

A bit long between holes at times.

Well maintained course w/ a good mix of open holes with some trees/obstacles and others with many providing a good challenge to both beginners and pros. All short tees are concrete while long tees are a mix of concrete or flypad. The course has multiple layouts and a course map at hole-1 with QR-codes for graphic-picture or GPS-enabled versions. Tee signs at each hole show "to scale" layout and suggested flight path for preferred throw. Elevation comes into play on several holes.

Can get muddy on some holes after heavy rain or Spring thaw

Multiple course layouts for standard 18 hole, 20 hole, and a "Tom's long" for big arms or those wanting the challenge of a longer hole play. All course maps are downloadable via QR-code including GPS-enabled version which puts the course map into your navigation app and shows your position on it.

A mix of wooded and open holes. Most holes have 3 tee off options including short, long, and Tommy Longs. You can download maps to your smartphone at the Information Board located at Hole 1 short tee. Each Long Tee position has a detailed map that includes surrounding holes so you can see where to go next. You can download digital maps, maps at info board, detailed tee signs, arrows on each basket.

I have been playing Anson B. since 2004 or so and the previous comments/issues/concerns from years past are no longer current issues. "This is a great course with multiple layouts, open holes, wooded holes, some OB. It can be super scoreable, or a challenge to make par depending on the layout, and your experience.
New signage has made the biggest criticism of Anson a problem of the past!!
Tuesday night random draw Doubles plus Thursday night and Sunday morning Tags, combined with a great group of people, make this a must hit course on your Delaware Valley course list!!!"-- quote by Alex J, a fellow K.S.D.G. member

This course is very fair and rewards good throws. The forested areas are mostly clear with little undergrowth, with the exception of only a few spots. The hole designs are full of variety and keep you interested. The different tee locations are actually very different on many holes which makes it almost like playing a completely different course.

The signs are very confusing and some of the baskets were labeled with the wrong number, so I had to ask some locals where to go. Some of the walking paths are kind of close to the fairways.

This is an underrated course. I really enjoyed playing here. The course design was fun and fair. If they ever fix the signs and clear up the confusing things, it will be hard to find any cons with this one.

Clean course, plenty of garbage containers, grass and off the beaten path/undergrowth were mowed and fairly easy to access. (Late April 2015)

Decent signage with arrows pointing to the next tee pad location. Baskets all had flags and were in good shape.

Great little course, not too big, not too small, lots of challenging shots needed, my forehand was put to work, anny's, hyzers, tomahawks, great mix on every hole.

Perfect blend of wooded holes to open holes, lots of trees, area was maintained and mowed, no garbage, plenty of people in the background AND NOT ON THE COURSE which was nice.

Got a tad confusing, some holes have two tee pads and i believe some tees have 1-2 basket locations ??? signs are sometimes not near the tee pad for some reason, a little clarification goes a long way. Played with a friend who has seen the course before, so we made out fine.

GREAT little course.... I had a great time, we played the course twice, i finished with a +3 and a +1 for the day.

Would absolutely come back.... I can see in the summer months the undergrowth being a little hairy, but for spring time it was amazing conditions.

I loved the challenge and variety of each hole and the approach constantly switching. Come with many discs and shot types and you should be fine.

18 holes with concrete tees, and two pin placements. I think the club is either installing a second set of tees or something, course was looking good when I stopped there yesterday. Number of good ace runs combines with some longer and tougher holes for a better challenge. Rt. 1 is less of an issue now but can still arise for a bad righty shot on 14. The water holes are no longer in play and that is some welcome news. Nice mix of lefty and righty holes as well as open and tight shots.

Not all the newly positioned holes have baskets yet. Got just a bit confused as to where hole two is from the first pin... maybe a few pointer signs would help.

This layout is better than the last time I was here. Just a few minutes from Brandywine Creek, and not far from Rt.1 and Rt. 202, as well as I-95.
