Considering the course does in fact wind through a sizeable chunk of the campus, good use was put forward. The 16 hole course is divided into the "Yellow Course" (front eight), and the "Brown Course" (back eight). Despite the fact that it does weave between residence and lecture halls, the tees and baskets seem to be placed in a manner that cuts down on conflict of interest (ie: People walking to and from class). If you haven't seen Baldwin-Wallace's campus, this is a great way to see a lot of it!

That being said, when you have a course that is embedded amongst college buildings, there are often people everywhere. I had to revise my tee shot at hole #8 to avoid a girl studying in the fairway. Many of the holes (2, 11, 12) play right along sidewalks and/or parking lots, leaving the player with a dangerous window if there are a lot of people about. There are huge gaps between a lot of holes (2&3, 8&9, 12&13, 13&14, 14&15) with no on-course direction as to where the next tee lies. The front nine tees are clearly marked with yellow tee boxes, but after that there are few tees marked with anything more than some white spray paint on the grass/concrete. The holes play incredibly short. Hole #9 plays across what seems to be the lacrosse practice field. A guy was practicing right next to a basket when I approached. He was nice enough to move, but if the whole team is there, #9 may be a no go.

Though the cons outweigh the pros in my book for this course, it is obvious thought was put into it. When you place a disc golf course smack-dab in the center of a college campus, it won't be easy to just rip through it in 45 minutes. Even though there are huge gaps between the front 8 and back 8 (front eight being North of E. Bagley Rd, back eight, South), they are presented as two seperate entities in that they are named the yellow and brown courses, respectfully. That was a nice touch and a way to make the course unique to Baldwin-Wallace. The 15th would make a great short hole with three small evergreens protecting the front approach to the basket, but once again, a building just to the right leaves little chance of a RHBH approach. If you haven't played the course before, definitely stop in at the rec center right across the street from the Kleist Center and pick up a map and a scorecard there. They're right at the front desk.
