Pros:
The long tee pads are all cement and the tee pad signage "only at the long tees" was at every hole. literally that's about the only positive things I can say. Maybe I'm just spoiled with the courses around my house and I might of raised the rating to a 2 if it was free, but otherwise its just not worth the trip.
Cons:
1. Poor signage. With the exception of the signs at the long tees, which gave you a poor sense of were the pin actually was. There were no signs on the short tees, and very few directional signs, that were also poorly placed. half the time we were just hoping we were going the right way. (we asked for a map before we started and were told they don't have one and we wouldn't need one, YES we needed one)
2. The Baskets are cheap. All were Disccatcher SPORTS, that someone tried to make better by adding some more chains. The paint on the tops of the basket were all wicked faded, making them hard to see in the distance. That and the poor signage made it hard to know even were to throw.
3. General poor course design. There were no real defined flight paths on half the holes. I shouldn't have to throw a roller because there is no clear path in the air. The sport is called disc golf not bowling. Also the pin areas were way to tight. The concept of a putting ring was non-existing. most pins were tucked into, at best, a 10 ft. "diameter" area. Which made it almost impossible to make a run at the basket.. Maybe it's just my opinion, but on a par 3 course I should be able to make a run at the basket on every hole and not fear ending up in a swamp or scrub brush 5 ft away from the pin.
4. The course was kinda dangerous. Multiple holes overlap and tee boxes are in areas were a flying disc could definitely go. A bunch of the pins are in blind locations,. That, along with the poor signage and hard to see faded baskets, one could easily throw a disc in the wrong place and end up hitting someone that you didn't even know was there.

Other Thoughts:
In conclusion It's not a good course. Certainly not one you should have to pay for. At best it could be considered mediocre, if it was free, but its not. So I rated it poorly.
