I think most of us have trouble believing that a six hole course is anything but a fun little course for beginners and families. But Ashland has three holes over 300' and you also have to avoid the retention pond fence. This seems to me to be more a course for casual recreational players to occasionally frequent.

There is a small course sign at the start. The smallish concrete tee pads are very adequate and the small metal tee signs are interesting with the sponsor's information and also with the distances listed in yards instead of feet. The Discatcher baskets are OK.

# 1 is probably the signature hole here as it's the only hole without serious flaws. It plays 112 yards, over a tiny ditch to a basket somewhat in the trees.

# 2 is 72 yards to a basket tucked under a tree but on your right is the fenced retention pond area with no trespassing signs. So many beginner types (and rec players) will find their discs sailing over this fence.

# 3 plays 60 yards and the no trespassing is once again an issue.

# 4 is 107 yards to a basket hidden behind this small hill and clumping of trees. I had a couple of problems here. First, the fenced no trespassing area is there waiting and secondly, my first thought was there is a missing basket as you don't see the basket until you walk around this small hill. And finally, a basket sitting on top of this tiny hill would be the coolest thing about this course.

# 5 will have you throwing at the # 6 tee pad to reach the basket tucked into the bushes. I seriously doubt if there has ever been two groups playing this course at the same time. You can tell that this course gets almost no play as the bushes right in front of the baskets have not been affected. Any teen player would take the straight oath to the basket and that involves snapping off the bushes blocking your path.

# 6 is 118 yards and the basket is tucked into the bushes at a right angle across a tiny ditch which could be a problem during wet weather. Meanwhile, most players frequenting this course will find themselves lost in the bushes along the entire right side of the fairway.

This is one of the more flawed courses you'll find.

For a six hole recreation/beginner courses, the last five holes are overly difficult and filled with potential pitfalls.

No trespassing fenced area will capture many discs.

Throws are too long and difficult for beginners and the very casual, rec players who should be playing here.

Seeing that I seriously doubt there would ever be multiple groups on this course, I can overlook the potential conflicts there.

Designers missed the chance for a really unique basket placement on # 4 and instead hid the basket behind the hill.

Previous reviewer, Cerealman, summed up this course's faults much better and more concisely than I have. He was just a touch more critical in his rating than me but his review is spot on. The DGCR information sheet says the course was designed by Boy Scouts with input from local disc golfers. Which local disc golfers thought cramming the last five holes into a tiny area more suitable for two holes was a brilliant idea? Which locals thought having holes thought playing so near a fenced area plastered with no trespassing signs was a good idea? Which, obviously very worldly, local suggested listing the distances in yards?

Located in a nice community park less than 1 mile off major hwy (US 63 15 miles south of Columbia). Discatcher baskets. Concrete teepads. Metal tee signs with distances measured in yards. Trees, small creek and small pond utilized as obstacles.

Very small piece of land with only 6 holes crammed in with some fairways interfering with other holes. Some hazardous lines where pedestrians are at risk of being hit by discs. Some of the teepads appear to be facing the wrong basket. Some vandalized tee signs.

Gotta give this course at least a 1.5 for just being here. Very busy park when I played on a beautiful fall saturday. I was the only park goer playing the course. Just not much land to place a course. Course number 280 on my list.
