Long course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Dual tees
- Lots of shot shaping
- Strong mix of open field and hardwoods

Cons:

- Could be very confusing
- Not very many trash cans
- Lots of broken glass
- Heavy traffic

Other Thoughts:

Played with a friend who knows the course very well, which was really nice because the layout is pretty confusing. There are multiple tees for each hole, but there are no signs and it's not obvious which tee goes to which basket.

Seemed like the trash cans were only set-up close to the road. As a result there is a lot of garbage and broken glass around the back holes. Couple large ravines that an errant toss could roll down, by the highway. There was also a lot of traffic. Most of them seemed lost, and we pointed a few onto the right path.-

Pros:

CP Adams is a nice advanced level course.

It has nice tee pads and baskets.

From the long tees, it has a few 500'+ bombers and a lot of technical shots in the 275-400' range. There are quite a few possible birdies, but only 2 holes shorter than 250'. You need power to card 2's.

CP is a pretty park with many different kinds of huge old trees and lush vegetation.

It features some treacherous elevation change, but only on a couple holes.

Light to moderate traffic. It's not the busiest course, but it's one of the better ones.

The course has a satisfying mix of challenges, even for top level players.

Cons:

Caution is recommended while navigating the wide open holes. It's easy to see where the disc that might hit you is coming from, but you have to watch out for discs flying at you from the adjacent holes.

My other problems with the course don't relate to the quality of disc golf it offers and are pretty minor.

The course isn't easy to navigate and doesn't have much signage. Print a map with distances if you want to be prepared.

The parking lot sucks. But, you can still park more than enough cars in it for regular usage. It get's a bit out of hand during tournaments and leagues.

Other Thoughts:

CP Adams is one of the best free courses around. It requires distance and control. It's never particularly difficult to find your disc or extremely punishing so it's easy to recommend to almost anyone. However, it's best suited for advanced players with some power.

Pros:

The course has all sorts of holes. Short ones, long ones, uphill, downhill, righties, lefties, wooded, open. Most holes seem to have 2 concrete tees.
There are lots of pros with this course. I like the huge amount of variety it has with the holes. It really tests all aspects of your game.
There are a lot of woods that force you to make smart shots, as well as playing for a three.
The course has a pretty good flow to it, and the 18th hole is within a putt of the 1st tee.

Cons:

There are walkways and streets through the whole course. A lot of them are right where you want to throw your disc, so safety is a huge concern. It says somewhere you're supposed to play the street as out of bounds I think, but that's much easier said then done as a few holes run along the street.
There are more than one tee pad for a lot of holes but you have no idea which tee is for what holes because there are no signs anywhere to tell you. Also, my group missed hole number 6 because we didn't see it.

Other Thoughts:

There was one hole where you throw down a rather steep cliff which was pretty sweet. I threw it way too hard but luckily hit a tree. My friend came up and put practically nothing on it and parked it right under the hole. I got him back because the next hole is a sharp dogleg right and I RHFHed it right under that basket.

Worth the drive. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 28, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has it all. Holes to throw the long bombs, tight technical holes, and a variety of shots to throw just about every kind of disc.
There are several holes with nice elevation changes.
Definitely worth the drive!

Cons:

There is quite a bit of garbage and litter scattered over the course which takes away from the natural beauty this course provides.
Be sure to have someone point you in the right direction if you haven't played this course before.

Other Thoughts:

Tee markers and distance markers would be nice....
