Pros:

Arrowhead DGC is a private 27 hole course on the SW side of Louisville. You'll need to book a parking pass to gain access to the course which doesn't cost anything. Technically it's free to play too, but they do accept donations. Which I suggest you do. They only book 9 parking passes per day so you don't want to wait until the last minute.

The design here was top notch in my opinion. There's no real long holes. Just 300' and under tight woods holes for the most part. Hills, ravines and that ever present creek are going to be what you're facing off against out here. There's a couple openish holes out of the first four, but from there on out you're into the woods for the remainder of your round. There's a few "island" holes and some other themed kind of holes The island holes are short but require good accuracy. There's a cool little downhill double arch mando hole. A couple hanging baskets and one on a platform built out of the hill on the back side of the island. Honestly there's just so many unique and memorable holes out there.

The baskets are random different kinds, mostly temp models. DD, MVP, Innova, Mach's, etc. One basket and pin position per hole.

Excellent tee signs out here. Outstanding for a private course actually. These all have the course name, the hole # inside an arrowhead, par, distance and a basic but effective hole map. The hole map shows any bridges, OB or hazards, drop zones and next tee arrow. All the info you'll need. Loved these.

The tee pads are different styles like the baskets but all are in good shape. There's a mix of different brick, block and stone pads. These all function the same but it's just a great aesthetic having a mix of different ones. It had rained the whole night up to about an hour before we played and i had zero issues with traction on these. One tee per hole.

There's lots of benches and even a few tables located throughout the course which is appreciated, especially on a hilly 27 hole layout. Lots of next tees signs too. I didn't need to use the map a single time out there today. There's an absurd amount of beautiful wooden staircases and bridges on the course too. More than any other course I've ever seen. There's even little steps leading down into the creek in a few spots that commonly get thrown into. Just remarkable how much thought went into this course.

The course starts and ends by the front yard. There's also an original 18 hole layout mapped out on Udisc if you're short on time. This one you'd need the map to follow though.

Cons:

There's a few chances to lose a disc in the creek out here. There's been a lot of rain recently, but I poked a stick into the creek on one of what I was told was a deeper section. It was easily 4 feet deep. The owner told me there's spots that get up to 8 feet deep. I overthrew a little on one of the island holes. I hit the island and barely went into the creek. Poof. Never to be seen again and it would've barely went in.

A few of the fairways cross each other. Not a huge deal with the limited amount of players allowed on the property a day, but worth noting.

Not everyone will like the block tees and I get it. I liked them but I will say they are mostly on the shorter side.

Other Thoughts:

I had seen the pictures of this course and thought it looked like it'd by a fun little course. More gimmicky than anything. This is not the case whatsoever. Yes there's all kinds of little trinkets and things hanging around. The disc golf is legit here. It far exceeded what I was expecting. This is one of my favorite courses played to date actually. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone. I will 100% play this course again the next time I'm down here. Absolute gem of a course. Must play.
