Home course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 9, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course has a lot of variety. There is open grass, trees, streams, wet lands, conservation area, buildings, and a running track. Each hole has it's own personality. It is very quiet and I always see wildlife.

Cons:

After a rain the course stays wet for a couple of days. There is some tall grasses and blackberry bushes that you can lose your disk in. Around the track you might have to wait a minute or two to let some one by. But that is a good chance to check out the beauty all around you.

Other Thoughts:

This course is in walking distance of my house. So I get to play often. Evey few months the course gets something new added to it. Like new signs and course maps. This course lets you work on all your skills. In the winter, on a sunny day it is perfect here for an afternoon of fun

Nice Little Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 18, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quiet.
New back nine.
Nice baskets.
Beautifully scenic course.

Cons:

Watch out for people on the course!
Tends to stay wet for a couple of days after rain.

Other Thoughts:

It is so great to be able to walk over to the college and throw! As a beginner, I really like this course, for both the surroundings as well as the challenges. The holes with water hazards are fun, and each hole varies in difficulty. The course snakes throughout the campus well, and even though it is a fairly open course, there are some difficult spots to watch out for. Overall it's a great place to play.

There are restrooms facilities everywhere, and the grounds crew from the college keep things pretty tidy and the grass cut. There is a conservation area toward the back nine with some wild growth, but nothing too bad.

The course now has scorecards/maps at the first hole, which is cool. Once the signs are up for the back nine this January (2009) and some steps get put in around hole #12, this course will be a fine one.

Home course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Quality baskets. Good use of elevation. Plenty of long holes. Many holes have Duce chances. The course is well maintained with all the grass cut. Scenic mountain views.

Cons:

When the course was designed the conservation area on holes 8-10 was knee high grass. Now that area is 12 ft high thorns. Locals have cut trails into it looking for disc but it's still brutal.

The natural tee pads are usually not a problem because hardly anyone plays here. But they can be slick and muddy after some rain.

The fairways are open. A player is often not penalized for errant drives. The hole distance and lack of defined fairways make for hard 2s but easy 3s. There are some exceptions (holes 11 and 7). Most drives will be a straight throw around 350 to 400. Some finish right and others finish left but not that hard for someone who can backhand and sidearm.

Disc golf is a low priority for the school and there are lots of sports teams. Holes 2,8 and 18 our often unplayable due to people on the track,softball or soccer fields.

Students keep smashing tee signs and pulling baskets out of the ground. The local club fixes the problems when it happens.

Other Thoughts:

I play this course often and it is still fun to play. It is not a destination course but if in the area come check it out. The course has had periods of poor maintenance but that has been solved for now. I'll try and keep this site updated on course conditions. Course needs more diversity of throws and tighter fairways.

Campus Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 17, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Open grass course with nice surroundings. Recently added new baskets. Relatively flat terrain that's an easy (but long) walk. Course maps available at hole #1. New tee signs added to all 18 holes.

Cons:

Could use a few more "next tee" signs. No benches. Hole 9 finishes well away from parking areas. Hole #12 drives down onto #13's fairway which could lead to trouble. The walk up to #12 tee box is too steep & footing is not good. Plans are in the works for a solution according to club members

Other Thoughts:

The course plays through a campus so there are sometimes people in the way of shots & some buildings will come into play. Download or grab a map before heading out.
