This is a great practice course. Not crowded at all. 9 basket course with wide open field throws on several holes. It is a local secret course great for the beginning player.

There are no concrete pads so you are throwing. From dirt and possibly mud of it has been raining. Flags are gone from the baskets and there are no yardage markers. Still great for practice!

It is a beginner course, but it's still got some fun basket placements for experienced players. I was able to follow the course very easily first time playing. I see the hole lengths are an estimate. I think 2 and 3 especially may be a little longer than 300'. 2 is a very fun practice hole for lengthy downhill drives. If you're alone on the course, you'll want to empty your bag. I really enjoyed that one.

Unfortunately, I played when there was a huge gathering at the picnic shelter, so I was unable to play hole 9. Families and their kids were playing on the hill and using the #9 basket for fun. No big deal, but it would be dangerous to try to throw near them. #1 also offers danger if anyone is in the fairway.

New baskets are great, course is well maintained, and it's just simply a fun play to let 'em fly. New Carlisle is a great area.

-Personal note- this course is close to where I live and is where I learned to play so lots of good memories here!
-Plenty of shade, besides walks after drives on holes 2, 3, and 9.
-Swings for comfort and shade near holes 2 and 9.
-New disc catcher baskets! Unlike other older and smaller baskets, you can have a nice putt normally not go through the chains to the other side.
-Nice mix of holes. Flat, hilly, holes that include trees, fences for out of bounds, and hole 8 plays into the back of the woods!
-Decent sized parking lot.
-Wooden posts that indicate what hole you are on as well as the distance.
-Hole 9 has a splendid layout! Long drive downhill and the basket is on a steep uphill that levels off to mimic a "green". Many times your second/third throws will roll right down the hill which is frustrating but the challenge is welcome and makes the hole unique.
-Many 'let er rip" drives into open areas up and downhill which are always fun.
-Park is frequently mowed and kept is satisfactory condition for the most part.
-Numerous picnic tables and a pavillion near the tennis courts and hole 4.

-Not very challenging. Was originally for me but as I have improved my game it has become too easy.
-Wooden posts are pretty basic, not very flashy.
-Little signage. Although the course is pretty much self explanatory.
-Poison ivy just lurking everywhere!
-Fence near holes 5-7 is breaking down in a few spots. Be careful when hopping over it.
-Hole 6 is the only bad hole. It's bland for one, almost like the designers didn't know where to go from there so they just plopped it in a random spot under a tree.
-Only 9 holes. I really believe it could be more due to the mass amount of woods available. Hole 8 is the only wooded hole and it is fun, besides seeing an occasional snake! If there were more holes possibly in the woods it could add another element to Bourissa. Although I don't know if that's something New Carlisle would be willing to do in terms of making more trails.
-Due to the absence of concrete tees, the dirt tees can get slippery after some rain.

-Try the course backwards for fun! My friend and I have and it is more challenging.
-Good place to practice new techniques.
-Especially nice to play at if you're a beginner or relatively new to the game.
-UPDATE: recorded the first ace, that I know of, on hole 9 here! My first ever. This is an ace friendly course so hit it up when you have the chance!
-Overall, nothing spectacular here but nothing that really warrants a horrible rating.
