Played the course:once
Pros:
Many great two shot par 4s. Tight gaps to hit off some tees, but fair. Hit the line get rewarded, miss it and pay the price. Good baskets and cement pads. Cool shot down toboggan run. River in play on several holes. Hole signage is good, plenty of next tee signs.
Cons:
Main, and about the only, complaints with this course are the walks from 7 to 8, and 8 to 9 and 16 back down 16 fairway to 17.
Other Thoughts:
Played this course when it was pretty dry. I can see flooding may be an issue at certain times of the year. Park is one of the best county parks I've seen. Lake, river, picnic areas, plenty of trees, etc. Devil's Den on the property is supposedly a better course...can't wait to play it (didn't have time this trip). (Did play 18 on DD, just so we could play the landscaped, fountain basket placement...very unique.

Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Teepads and baskets (chainstars) in good repair
Front nine with more elevation and open (ish) shots
Back nine with long, challenging wooded shots
1 of 2 permanent courses onsite
A few holes close enough to the river to keep things interesting
Very balanced for FH and BH players

Cons:
As recently stated, flooding can be a serious issue and render over half the course unplayable at times
With water/ flooding comes the bugs, which have been on the excessive side most times i've played here
Navigation- for first timers, the walk between 8 & 9 can be confusing. Additionally, #18 finishes quite far away from the lot which makes for more time to beat yourself up if the round didn't go smoothly

Other Thoughts:
I really like the contrast of this course compared to Devils Den. It has the best elevation factors between the two courses as well as the tough and tight wooded shots that are lacking at Devils Den. Most of the lines off the tees are fair, except I thought #8 was a little weird as is. Also, #18 always throws me for a loop; I think i've shot a different line off the tee every single time.
Like I said, its so different than Devils Den that its a perfect compliment. I would definitely qualify Burchfield as a great disc golf destination, and it's one of the best 2+ course parks in the state.
