I was contacted during the summer of 2007 by a youth pastor to evaluate the course he designed on the grounds of his church camp & retreat center. With only a few years background playing recreational disc golf and no design course experience, the minister created a fantastic pro par 60 course that makes excellent use of the available terrain. After working with Pastor Jeff to eliminate a few course design flaws and adjusting the location of a few tee pads and polehole positions to make for proper throwing distances for Blue level (950-rated) golfers, the course has evolved into a masterpiece with each hole playing as a different chapter of a book. The course has a little bit of everything - open shots, wooded holes, several water hazards, elevated off-the-cliff drives, a gauntlet tree-lined hole, real pro par four holes that demand both distance and accuracy, roller opportunities, and even a hole reminiscent of USDGC #7, with a wooded wall that surrounds the polehole. It's got perhaps one of the most spectacular finishing holes in Pennsylvania, as the approach on the pro par four 18th hole plays severely downhill to a protected polehole on a natural green area with an OB road just behind it to punish errant shots. Even better, the minister and the camp go to great lengths to keep the rough trimmed back and the course is always in pristine shape when I have had the great fortune to play it.
Unfortunately, as with most camps where kids are present, liability issues prevent the course from being completely open to the public and playing the course is available by appointment only.

While I'd personally like to see a pro par five hole on this course, it's tough to come up with any serious cons - it really has just about everything you could ask for. I just wish I lived closer and could play it on a regular basis.

This course is located on the grounds of a church camp for children. As such, it is a liability issue to be on the grounds without permission. Please do not show up to the course expecting to be able to play an impromptu round. If you are interested in using this course, you MUST e-mail or call ahead for permission. Additionally, all buildings on the property are off-limits. Also, no alcohol or drugs of any kind are permitted on the property.
