The Sheridan course includes nine decent Discatcher baskets and mature park trees to navigate in a lesser-used section of the community's multi-use park. The course starts beside the easternmost shelter, beside two handicapped parking spaces (the rest of us need to drive on down past the 1st basket and park by the small ball field there: not just past the basket!), and a nice, informative kiosk sign (which includes map, links to club websites, a guide to other area courses, and the Innova beginners' guide to disc golf info).

Lines of flight have some variety, but tend to favor the player who can throw Recreational distances low (working around branches), around fairly widely spaced trees, and, on at least four of the baskets, fading from left to right (favoring lhbh & rhfh throwers). The designers didn't have any elevation to work with, but did a decent job of putting in a small course that will challenge the casual to rec level players it's intended to serve.

Natural turf for tees, unmarked except to throw near the signs. Decent flow except where you need to cross the drive to get to 4/13 (take 'course map 2'). The course's extremely minimalist signage can become a little confusing, when the tees for 3, 12, 9 & 18 all run together near the start and the tees for 5, 14, 6 & 15 all line up against the woods line at the back. Now, four or five years since installation, some signs are missing. Other changes in that time include the outfield fence and scoreboard which now runs down the middle of the 4/13 fairway. It makes an interesting OB challenge on your right to work around, but makes it unsafe to throw there if there's a game on. The other unsafe spots are throwing long and hitting cars on 1/10 and the shelter just to the left of the 2/11 basket. Finally, the debris pile (park dump?) has grown and nearly overwhelms the 7th tee.

I've described this area as the land of the 2 by 9's because of the tendency to build nine hole courses with alternate tees and call them 18 hole courses. There are at least a half dozen such in the region. It's not bad to have 18 different shots. I'm just not sure I'd say they should be listed here as 18 hole courses.

Reviewer Background as of this writing: age 54 w/ 4 yrs experience, rated 900+/-, played 244+ courses in 23 states, 80% w/in 3hr drive of Cincinnati. Thrown with folks rated 600's to 1000's, ages 9 to 85 in events and leagues at all tiers. Seldom drive beyond 300-330, but have a solid up-shot and putting game. I haven't designed any courses, but try to lend a hand (with my severely desk-job limited skill set) when I can.

Some challenging shots under low trees.
Signs are easy to follow.
Its a fun course.

If you out drive hole 1/10 by 25-30 feet your in a parking lot. Not cool to ding cars and get people mad at disc golfers.
On another set of holes (can't remember which ones) a baseball field comes into play. When I played the game just ended so no problem but when a game is going on a bad shot could end up in play. Again hitting kids playing baseball could leave a bad taste for people about disc golf.

Has a lot of potential but the 2/4 holes with cars are kids around make this course a let down for me.

This is a fun little course set in nice park. It has 9 nice discatcher baskets and 18 tee pads. This is a shorter course with only a couple holes over 300ft so it's great course to introduce the community to disc golf. There's lot of big trees and minimal rough. Navigation was fairly easy. There are a couple spots where there are lots of tees clustered together but it only took a second to figure out where we were going. There are tee signs at each hole listing the distance and markers on the ground next to them indicating the tee area. The tees are dirt and I didn't have any problem with them at all. The second set of tees weren't dramatically different but some of them added a little variety to the shot.

There isn't much short variety here. Like other people have mentioned, there are lots of low hanging limbs. On a few holes it didn't feel like there was a real route to the basket because of all the limbs, just poke and hope even if you keep the shot low... hole 9/18 was the worst example of this. The basket for 2/11 is right next to a shelter but you can easily see if it's occupied. I already mentioned some of the alternate tees added variety to the course, but others do not, I'd say it's about 50/50.

Overall this was a fun, enjoyable round. The course is great for casual players, families and locals, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here either.

On a side note, I've never run into so many "road closed" signs and detours in my life trying to get to and from this course. Obviously this isn't a knock against the course, but I hope they finish the road construction in the area soon.
