Great space with a poor layout 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 7, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

It's a fun course if you have a big arm, or like wide open range. The grass is well maintained and that's kind of a big deal, there is a lot of grass to mow out there. All of the holes work well with their features. The layout is pretty open, but the course plays into the woods often, giving a feel of diversity in a course that looks more like a ball golf course than a disc golf course.

Cons:

BRING A COURSE MAP. A lot of the fairly chintzy and often inaccurate tee signs have blown over or disappeared entirely, so finding your way can be a challenge. Directions to the next tee can also be a bit obscure.
A lot of the dirt tee pads flood easily and force you to play out in the grass. But if it hasn't rained this might not be an issue.
Overall there was a lot land available for this course for it to feel as lacking as it does. It's just kind of a poor use of space.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a bit confusing but is pretty fun, it's just such a long ball course that its tough to come into with a cold arm. If you have the time, I played a warm up round at Brighton park (only an exit or so west on 20). It's a great little short-shot 9 hole course to warm up with.

Grueling course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 30, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Well maintained park with plenty of other things to do (bike trails, soccer fields, driving range, there's even a designated area for flying RC airplanes!)
-Excellent variety: elevation changes, a little water, plenty of O.B., tight technical holes and wide open long bombers, hole lengths ranging from 150 ft. - 1,000+ ft. with 3 holes over 600 ft.!
-Fairly well marked - it might take a minute to find the tee but not much longer

Cons:

-Too long
-Too few trash cans
-Too few benches for such a long course
-Tee signs aren't very accurate depictions of the actual holes

Other Thoughts:

This is the longest, most exhausting course I've played. Even some of the longer holes can be very technical. This course will wear you out physically and mentally. It may very well crush your spirit, too.
It's best to wait several days after a good rain or wear your rubber boots. Water tends to make the central part (Holes #5, #6, #9, #12 & #13) VERY swampy and you WILL get wet and/or muddy.
Please, please, please don't think I'm saying that Buddy Butts DGC is a bad course, it's not. What it is, in my opinion, is hardcore...
By yourself, with no traffic on the course and playing at a leisurely pace, you can expect 18 holes to take about 2-3 hrs.
Remember:
-Bring PLENTY of fluids, as much as you can carry (it gets HOT and it's very humid all the time)
-Don't start a round too late, you'll never finish before dark
-Larger groups should let smaller ones play through as soon as possible
-Put your eyes on the basket BEFORE you throw, tee signs are misleading

PARKING
-enter the park, take a right when road ends (there is a sign that reads "DISC GOLF" with an arrow)
-take the 1st right after the soccer fields
-go all the way to where the road turns back almost 180° and park by the tee for hole #1
