GREAT course(s) 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 13, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

2 tees and 2 baskets on each hole, a varirty of shots required, great elavation changes on almost very hole, front more wooded, back more open, scenic.

A 2nd 18 hole course is available too but why bother with it when you have basically 4 other courses to choose from, the original 18 can play like 4 different courses depending which tee or basket you are playing.

Very clean park and on 7/13/09 they were mowing the fairways on a Monday morning.

There are some tight wooded spots but nothing unfair.

The tee signs show all the options for each hole, blue/silver to blue/silver.

Cons:

Not very near an interstate and/or it might be hard to follow the 1st time around. Old hole 4 was removed for a soccer field, this was one of favorite holes at Warwick.

Other Thoughts:

I have played over 220 courses and Warwick is in my top 3! Very worth the trip.

One of the best! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 19, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

This course amazes me every year I go back and play it. This course is just so unbelievable. Warwick in my mind is the number ONE course that exists. VERY well placed baskets, holes with tree's, holes semi open, a little elevation. EVERYTHING!!! Very well kept and well groomed. Improves every year. 2 sets of tee's and two pin placements that exist at all times (Two baskets up at all times on every hole). (LONG to SHORT is my favorite so far) Birdies are earned and plenty of mistakes to be made. Must have distance AND accuracy. Not many courses emphasize both so well. I must explain further, with most courses that have 2 (or more) different tees per hole, usually the only difference between the teepads is that the hole is longer from the further back tees. NOT this course, the best thing about this course in my opinion is that not only are the holes longer, but honestly, its a totally different hole. None of the four different combinations you can possibly play on every hole are similar. Truly amazing!

Cons:

From what I read, the parks departments did a few things in fall/Winter of 2007which require re-placing a hole or two in 2008. However, it may make the course better in the long run.

Warwick 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 7, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Cement Tees, multiple Pin + Tee placements. Plenty of Parking with the new back lot. Nice elevation changes. Beautiful manicured park in a Skylands setting. Nice bench's. Well designed, good balance of open + wooded holes.
Wolfe Woods is connected to Warwick.

Cons:

Asphalt park road comes in to play on many holes. Tee signs are currently hard to decipher. The soccer people have taken over holes 3+4.

Other Thoughts:

Can't wait to see the new holes. Great Disc Golf Center.

Play Warwick 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

By far the best course in the NY/NJ area, and well worth the drive from wherever you are. Wolfe woods is a great addition and a completely different feel from the original Animal course. Blue to blue will test anyone skills, while silver to blue may be the most fun.

Cons:

Wish it was closer so I could play it every day. Little bit of a drive to get water, snacks etc...if you can call those cons.

Other Thoughts:

World Class - with Warwick and the Mighty Gaw within 30 minutes of one another Skylands has got it going on!

World Class 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 21, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

4 different courses in one place...rare find for that. Have to use a variety of shots, from a quick toss to grip it and rip it holes. The course makes you think youre shot if you havent played it before. Taken care of beautifully by local players, parks dept and the inmate program.

Cons:

The only problem is a sign in needed between holes 9 and 10. First time players dont realize as you are playing hole 9, you walk by the teepads for hole 10 (which are on the left about 1/2 way down 9's fairway).

Other Thoughts:

I miss this course. With the addition of Wolfe Woods, the Town of Warwick park is a gold mine for world class disc golf.

Best Disc Golf facility in the World 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2006 Played the course:never

Pros:

Just a great Disc Golf facility...with the addition of Wolf woods course, this has to be the place to be if ya wanna become a world class DG'er.

Cons:

Only thing I can think of is drive on hole 4 can go into road....potentially causing a problem with motorists and players! I guess ya cant have everything perfect.

Other Thoughts:

Thanks to Dan Doyle and the local club there that put Warwick on the Disc Golf map! They do it right...first class all the way...I rate it #2 on the best I have ever played..only DeLeveaga in Santa Cruz might top it.

Magnificent! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

Well maintained, LONG and great variety.

Cons:

None!

Other Thoughts:

What can I say, this is an amazing course. With dual tees and baskets you could play the course a new way every day of the week! We played our round from the long tees to the long baskets for maximum challenge and length and it was a blast.

Each tee sign had a short strategy for how to play the hole as well as a little map indicating where the baskets are. You'll find a great mix of open and wooded holes here as well.

A few stand out holes for me were #5 and #7. Hole 5 will lead you through the woods and then a basket situated high on a rock ledge, definitely a challenge! #7 starts in a field and you throw towards the base of a large hill. Where's the basket you ask? Around 100-150ft. feet up the hill through trees. #17 and #18 also play very long and are perfect opportunities to "Grip it and Rip it" as the #17 tee sign put it.

DEFINITELY make time to play this course if you are in the area. I really wish I didn't live 5 hours away as I'd love to have the chance to play it more often.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 7, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

You must know there are 2 pads and pins in place at all times, so go and see the layout and be blown away. Good job by the parks dept., the local volunteers and the prison cleanup crew for keeping it beauteous. Lots of elevation, variety and challenge.

Cons:

I live too far away. Oh and the pop machine across the road by the ball diamonds ate my money.

Other Thoughts:

Skylands crew are one of the best local DG organizations around. Great people and community. All their hard work shows.
