Pros:
There's a surprising variety of interesting obstacles for such a short course.
+ enjoyable use of terrain
+ alternate tees provide substantially different challenges
+ several little thrills to discover (playing both tees)

Cons:
Play consists of just a handful of throws intended for a youth or beginner audience.
- only 6 holes
- very short throws (no holes over 225 ft.)
- tee markers sit flush with ground, making them hard to spot
- dirt tees suffice but muddy easily even after slight rain

INFO
This short, 6-hole course loops around the back of wooded church property intended for recreation and outreach to the community. Holes range between 115 and 225 ft. in length and offer two sets of natural/dirt tees (blue and white). The course features a small hill on its middle holes and a tiny pond on the final hole.
EVAL
This short, secluded, kid-friendly, introductory course is actually quite inviting to throw thanks to its many trees and elevation changes. The design makes enjoyable use of the terrain to explore paths around and through trees as well as along the slope of a small hill with a surprisingly steep backside. The layout flows well around the property and even feels a tad expansive despite its small footprint, especially considering its close proximity to neighborhood homes which back up against fence lines on three sides of the course.
While limited to only six pitch and putt style holes, the course still features a decent mix of hyzer and anhyzer throws, a tunnel shot in woods, uphill and downhill throws, both narrow and wide shots plus a tiny pond (if it's not dried up in summer months) to add to the challenge and aesthetics. All these little thrills play in roughly 15 minutes (even throwing both tees simultaneously), making for an enjoyable round to test short game putts and approaches. Repeated play just begs for imaginative safari golf to incorporate the many nooks and crannies scattered about this property.
NOTE
The disc golf course is a featured amenity of the BCBC Outreach and Recreation Area, covering 4 acres in the back of the church property. As part of the "Back 4 Project" for this land, disc golf currently shares space with a garden onsite. Plans for additional amenities to be introduced in phases include a children's playground, walking trail, fire pit and pavilion area for picnic gatherings plus an activity court for basketball, tennis and pickleball.
LAYOUT
The first hole plays beside the drive that circles the church and along a mostly open route bordered by trees to the left except for an imposing, brick dumpster enclosure in the fairway (white tee) which must be thrown over or around. Holes #2-3 line up perpendicularly to the first hole and lead to the back of the property with hole #2 dipping into and through woods and hole #3 climbing a short hill surrounded by trees close to the rear fence. Hole #4 plays past trees along the top of that same small hill at the rear with steep roll away potential for missed throws. Hole #5 follows along the tree line marking the western edge of the property with either a narrow, level flight (blue tee) or downhill shot (white tee) to a protected green. Hole #6 returns towards the start and throws either beside (blue tee) or over (white tee) a tiny pond ringed by trees.

Other Thoughts:
I actually had a blast playing this course. After playing the "Blue" course, I figured I would go ahead and play the "White" course. Glad I did as most of the looks were different really making this a 12 hole course with 6 baskets.
You will not need a driver as none of the holes are over 300ft. In fact 6 of them are under 200ft and the other 6 are between 200 and 250.
So like I stated above, this is a great course for the church youth group to use or to bring new players out. Even the family.
Or, just have some fun throwing the course. There are enough tree's and interesting shots to make this a fun little course to throw.
Would I play here again? Actually I would, I enjoyed my round and had a blast to tell the truth. As far as church courses go, this is one of the better ones I have played in that it is a good course for the church to use for it's congregation.
Would I play this course to challenge me? Nope, just throw it for fun and ace runs. It's worth a stop at least once, take your upshot disc and putter and have some fun as you can play 6 holes in about 15 minutes if you don't throw it off the fairways.
