Practice your approach 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ Easy and quick to navigate

+ New baskets, decent signage. "Natural tees" - but the teeing areas are flat, the area is mowed and well-kept

+ A little bit of elevation change


Cons:

- The parking lot is a bit of a hike to the first tee - but there's a small pull-off area on the right as you enter the campus. Park there and jump on at Hole #7 right across the road


Other Thoughts:

~ The pars are very generous: with five par 4's less than 250' and a par 5 at 271'. One of the other reviewers noted that the course was subsidized to ensure students with visual impairments and disabilities would have a genuine disc golf experience - so that may be the reason for the pars being what they are


~ Other than being a recreational set-up for college students, this layout has little to recommend it as a "course." It's a well-mowed, gently rolling hillside with baskets. That said, the small amount of elevation change makes the place useful for practicing and ranging your approach game. If I lived nearby, I'd be here regularly for field work


COURSE AMENITIES:

Nine new DiscCatcher baskets, nine tee signs.


RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS:
The Town of Sweden course is very close by. We didn't play there, instead using Brockport as a warmup on our way to Parma, Sawyer and Basil Marella.

Perfect if you just want to throw 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 23, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Innova baskets
Well marked tee signs
Wide open
No obstacles
Can play all 9 holes quickly if you're short on time.

Cons:

The grass can be pretty soft in spots.

Other Thoughts:

I think this is a great course for when you just want to throw a disc. Often I just don't have the time to even play 9 holes across the street but I'm jonesing to just throw. You can do 9 holes in about 15 minutes and be happy. It's also a good course, since nobody is usually there, to practice your putting or upshots and not be rushed or bothered. This is a perfect course for what it was designed for. As soon as I pull in off of Redman Rd I go about 150 ft and park on the right with no worries about illigally parking at the college. Just start playing on the nearest hole to your car and you'll finish right next to your car. This is a great practice course. Try it out sometime.

Suits it's intended purpose. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

New DIscatchers, quality concrete pads.
Wheelchair accessable

ACE RUNS on every hole. If you can't have fun trying for an ace on every hole, then the problem doesn't lie with the course.

Perfect place to introduce new players to the sport. It is a quick play that will not frustrate new players. After a few rounds players may get ambitious and try the Sweden course, or maybe they will channel their innner Carl Cubbage and collect aces.

Cons:

The course is short and lacks challenge for an experienced player, even in the intermediate level. However that is because this course was paid for through grants and donations to ensure students with visual impairments and disabilities would have an AUTHENTIC and accessable course.
Parking: You need to get a parking pass to ensure you do not get a ticket.

Other Thoughts:

The fenced off area in the middle is not much of a threat. I was at the course on opening day and watched completly new players play all day with unfamiliar discs (2 with visual impairments) and no one came close to throwing a disc inside the fenced in area.

This is a Physical Education heavy school. This course now provides a place where our future physical educators can learn disc golf so they can teach it when they move on to their schools after graduation.

Baskets in a field 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 12, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

-There are nice baskets
-There are signs for each tee

Cons:

- everything is a short straight shot
- no obstacles

Other Thoughts:

This course would be good for elementary and middle school students. There happens to be both of those right down the street. It might even be good for high school students who haven't played before. There is one of those too. Like the last reviewer said, I don't see a college student playing more than once if at all especially with a more advanced course (Sweden) less than half a mile away. It is an open field with baskets and would be good for practice. It could also be good for someone who wants to play a course and get like a -10. I also wanted to say that I am almost positive that parking in the parking lot by the football fields is not a problem. I do not think that is the colleges parking lot.

What is this, a course for ants? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 10, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Innova Pro DisCatchers, tee signs, short grass, easy to navigate (because you can see the entire course from the parking area).

Cons:

Barely a course in my book. Not a single obstacle in the entire "course". Literally just 9 baskets in a field, with a small hill.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course as a curiosity as there were no other reviews yet, but I would strongly recommend avoiding it.

This is billed as a great place to bring beginners, but I can't imagine college age beginners playing here more than once. It would be better suited for an elementary school. Every single hole is a completely wide open field shot with the distances about 150-200 feet each time. There is a fenced off solar panel area that is quite close to two baskets, that beginners will definitely throw into, defeating the purpose of the beginner friendly layout. These baskets would be better served on a design elsewhere on the campus, or in a different park if other space on the campus is not available. To top it off, the listed pars are downright comical.
