The course flows very easily from 1-9, offering several open drives for beginners working on adding distance and accuracy to their game. The teepads are solid. The baskets are visible and catch well. The back 9 offers a very different look than the front 9, consisting mostly of wooded shots.

I'm not too familiar with the history of this course, but having played it several times over the years I know how to get around. However, if this is your first time, find a map or play with a local for 10-18, because it does not flow well once you get past 12. Even getting to Hole 10 from 9 is rough if you haven't looked it up previously; you need to walk to the other side of the creek and tee off from the other side of the entrance road that leads to the parking lot.

16 stands out like a sore thumb. The basket actually has 13 on it so I suspect it was moved from a different hole location, but there is an obscene walk from 15's pin to 16's tee, and then from 16's pin to 17's tee.

The signs on this course are in severe need of replacement. Several are missing, most are grafitti-ed (people love chronicling their aces on the signs, even though most holes allow for an easy ace run), and the remaining ones are inaccurate.

Some people say that 1-9 is too open or repeatedly offers the same look. I agree to a degree, but since that half of the course is much more organized than the second half, I don't see it as a significant issue.

This course is only worth playing if you are a beginner or are playing with one, or you live nearby and want a quick round. There are several better options in the area (albeit also much more difficult) that will serve experienced players better.

- Boone Woods DGC, located in the shadow of the mighty Idlewild, offers a much easier brand of disc golf than its more famous neighbor. Located in a grassy suburban park, this 18-hole course is sparsely dotted with mature trees for the first 10 or so holes before working through a small patch of woods and back into the open for the finish.
- Concrete tees, signage, baskets, and the other park amenities are all in decent working shape.
- The wooded holes (#'s 13, 14, and 15) on the back nine are by far the standouts of this course despite their shorter lengths.
- Although the elevation here is of the gentle rolling type, there's enough for it to be successfully implemented in the design. #'s 7, 8, and 13 all use the elevation to spice things up a bit.
- Perfect companion to Idlewild. Play pre-Idlewild for a quick warm-up. Play post-Idlewild to regain your dignity.

- The front nine is repetitiously open. A lot of these holes have similar distances, making them even more similar.
- A lot of litter (especially beer cans) was well, you know, littered about.
- This course seems to be predominately inhabited by bag-less groups of 6+, all throwing multiple putts on each hole, and generally exhibiting poor understanding of basic golf etiquette.
- Several holes on the front nine are kinda squashed together and a possible conflict when the park is busy. #'s 6 and 7 are especially bad with the hill in play.

- Boone woods doesn't have much going for it to distinguish it from a lot of other predominately open, mostly flat-ish, suburban courses. The back nine makes a valiant effort to boost the excitement factor, but falls just a bit short. In the end, Boone Woods can't escape feeling like two okay-ish 9-holers slapped together to come up with a full 18.
