This a fun course to play, not too long for the average player. The front is super sweet and challenging as it plays along the lake with well placed baskets.

There are some interesting/unique shots- over a building, over a fence, and across an amphitheater for example. (This could be a con when these things are in use.)

The back 9 used to pretty much be a wide open field, but has been improved nicely with the planting of a whole lot of trees and some redesign of some holes. (I love when I come back to a course after a few years and find it much improved! Compliments to those who have worked hard on it.)

*Update- The back 9 is now only a little bet of a let down after you play the front because the front is so good and the back is more plain, (but the back is now way better than it used to be, even though still somewhat repetitive.)

The navigation is a little tricky in a couple of spots. The worse being #2 and #7 because sometimes the ampitheater area you play across has a fence that can be locked. Last time I was there I had to crawl through a hole in the fence or walk a long way around it.

If you don't like water on your DG course then this course could be intimidating as several holes run along the lake. (Bring a floater and/or a disc you can afford to lose!)

The front makes this course totally worth it to play. Maybe with some work, the back can be improved to make it a little more interesting and challenging.
(* Update- it has!!!)

If you are in Bowling Green playing several courses, add this one to your list.

We played this course as the last of a 72-hole day trip through Bowling Green. To be honest, I was ready to skip it. It was about 95 degrees and my dogs were killin' me. I'm glad we played it.

There is a variety of holes and terrain changes like I've never seen on a single course. It is truly unique. The lake is very pretty. Tees and signs were good, but we had trouble locating a few holes.

I've never seen a course built right in the middle of a park this busy. There are two holes right in the middle of an ampitheater! What do you do when a performance is going on?

On one of the water holes, I threw a beautiful shot that went out over the water, anhyzered back toward land, and was fading back left, right toward the pin.....and then some kid playing nearby decided that I was throwing it to her and she was supposed to catch it!

The other drawback is the difficulty (or lack thereof). Beginners will likely enjoy the back 9's easier holes, but might be frustrated and lose discs around the lake. Experienced players will enjoy the challenge in the front 9, but may find themselves a bit bored during the back 9.

If you can play this course when the park isn't jammed full of people, it's a good round of golf. When the trees on the back 9 fill out, it will be even better.

In todays standards the course is pretty short. However, I played this course twice. Round one I shout a -6, round 2 I shot a +6 so the course can kick your but if your not paying attention. I would consider this a really good rec course. I had fun playing it, but wouldn't consider it a course to visit often.

Good variety of holes/shot options on front nine. The 3 wooded holes in the sink hole are both fun and challenging. Hole #2 requires an accurate shot that must sail over a fence and creek(usually dry). A few holes on the back nine where you can give it a bit of a rip.

Tees are short and often uneven. There is no practice putting area.Can be very crowded with park goers pic-nicking and fishing close to the fairways. Parked cars along the OB road can make you alter your shot selections. Lots of goose guano on holes 3-6. Those playing baseball/softball near holes 17&18 can be quite disrespectful by practicing in the fairways and even parking their cars well into the fairway on 17!

In case you can't tell, this is my "home course". I play here at least 3 times a week. While there are definately better courses in Bowling Green, Basil-Griffin is a unique course that is worth checking out if you are in the area.

The front 9 on this course is as good as you will play anywhere. Lots of water. #2 is my favorite hole anywhere. Most of the holes are fairly short and a well placed midrange will give you a 2. A few holes on the front have pro tees that you can play and if you play #3 from the pro tees it's a really great hole that you have to throw way out over the lake and hyzer back in to the basket. The front 9 requires some really technical shots that you wouldn't normally throw.

The back nine is very lacking. It has a bunch of planted trees that are too young to cause any problems. I played the other day and had six 2's on the back with only one 4 and that was just due to 3 bad throws. Only 3 holes even require a driver and they are pretty much wide open.

If you don't like losing a disc you won't like all of the water on the front nine. If you play if more then a time or 2 you are going to spash one.

As I said, great front nine. Meeeh back nine. If the back nine was a good as the front it would get a 4.5 rating. You can easily shoot in the 40's on the course. It's pretty hard to make very many bogey's on the back nine.

Great technical course, lots of pin placements that keep you from shooting a 2 yet let you get a 3 easily. Good mix of Water, wooded holes, open holes, and OB. This is a really good course!!!

Built in an area that floods.....

Still one of my favorite BG courses!!!!!!!!

Course has varied terrain, giving some elevation changes and challenging water features. Maintained pretty well. 7 grip 'n rip open holes.

Most holes are "lefty" friendly. Hard to follow course, especially finding tee 7 after 6. Tourney caused a major backlog on hole 2 (5 card). My group finished 15 holes in 1hour, then got to the jam and sat for 45 minutes before we tee'd again.

Went down for the Blowing Green Am event. 11 hour drive. Nice course for the locals, but not worth the gas or lodging costs. ;o)

This course has a variety of tight shots and open shots. Also has varying distance holes. Course is well maintained.

Some/most of the teepads are shorter than normal and are not even with their surrounding surface so it can affect the approach when driving. A bit hard to find number 7 if you're new to the course. Back 9 is really packed in there. I would imagine that in a heavy tourney situation, it would present a pretty big problem, but maybe that's why they don't usually use this course for tourney events.

I like the course because it's close to my house and offers a good challenge to beginners and pros.
