Maturing Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Most holes are relatively short... which makes this a good course for beginners. Nice mix of open holes and and tight, wooded holes. Requires every shot in your bag to get around with a low score. You can catch a glimpse of deer almost every round.

Cons:

Wooded holes can be frustrating, because of small branches and baby trees blocking shot-lines. University does not allow trimming of living trees.

Other Thoughts:

I play this course every week (often more than once), and find that it has been maturing nicely over the past few years. A number of dead trees have come down and been cleared, leaving more open sight lines. I have introduced a number of new people to Disc Golf here!

Fun, short, technical course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 19, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-A good mix of open and wooded holes
-Doesn't favor forehand or backhand disproportionately
-18 nice DISCatcher baskets
-Only 18-hole show in town if you live in the Binghamton area
-Located in the Binghamton University Nature Preserve, which is beautiful and hosts abundant wildlife

Cons:

-Tee pads are a gravel-like material, and have some wear on a few holes
-Flow is not perfect, but the course was designed to start near the campus gym where students can check out discs to play with, and the designer did well with a small plot of land
-Parking can be difficult if you don't have a University pass (if this is you, park on Murray Hill near the Newman House, walk on path across creek and start on hole 9 or 16 instead of 1)
-Course is relatively short, not many opportunities to go full power off of the tee

Other Thoughts:

Some of the holes are tightly wooded- the lines are there, but you have to hit them or you will be punished (hole 2, for example). Some of the reviews on this site for this course are obviously from inexperienced students who became frustrated on some of the more challenging holes, but intermediate and advanced players will find the holes fair. Despite some woods, the holes are short enough that it is a beginner-friendly course, so a great place to take friends and family that are new to the game. This is my home course, and while far from perfect, it is a decent 18-hole course, and worth a stop if you are in the area.
