This course is still under construction. It's already better than anything else in the area. Excellent course layout, a wide variety of shots. I love when I use every disc in my bag on the course. Scenic pre-existing trails through old growth provides shade and makes finding your disc relatively easy. Dog friendly and secluded. Awesome course.

The course isn't completed yet. There are cement tees on 1-7, 17 and 18. The footing is poor as they still are clearing many of the fairways. The old course was maintained well, so i'm assuming this will improve quickly. There are some swampy areas, so the bugs can be annoying.

Follow the orange flags.

--Great course to practice the basics of disc golf (finesse/accuracy shots in the woods on holes 1-4; hyzers on holes 2, 4, and 8; anhyzers on holes 3 and 4; distance shots on hole 6; and "fairway drives" on holes 7 and 9)
--Free!
--Tees are concrete and better than the other courses I have played, baskets are nice and new, and the course conditions are always good. They mow regularly and they recently (spring, 2012) did a control burn in the field around holes 6 and 7, leaving the grass short so it should be harder to lose discs for the time being.
--The course provides a good balance of wooded (holes 1-4) and open (holes 5-9) holes as well as a good balance of technical holes that require most of the different skill shots (see first comment above)
--The course is rarely crowded, most times I go I see only two other groups, and many other times my group is the only one there (the evenings are usually the most packed, I recommend the mornings or afternoons if you want to avoid a crowded round)
--It's a fun course where you can keep trying to break your previous records (if you live nearby and can play it often, of course); it gives me a challenge as I continue to break my records and set the bar higher and higher (or lower and lower actually lol)
--Also, hole 5 is good for aces!

--Only 9 holes
--The par should be lower, it is too easy to get under par. I think the pars should be:
1: 3
2: 4 (maybe 5)
3: 3
4: 4
5: 3
6: 4
7: 3
8: 3
9: 3
Total: 27/28
--Hole 9 should be placed in a better spot since it is played over a road (luckily it is not a busy one, but still a spotter is necessary since vehicles often come out of nowhere around the corner from the left or from the right where you cannot see or hear them coming)
--Holes 5 and 9 make it possible for disc damage since hole 5 plays over a paved track and hole 9 over the road (hole 5 basket is only 12 feet beyond the track so if shot low the disc could easily crash into the paved track and the road system around hole 9 makes it easy to throw a spike hyzer into the road when there is a strong headwind if you do not throw with enough power). In fact, these two holes are the most responsible for the damage to my discs.
--The hole diagrams at the tees could be better. All it is is a simple diagram with arrows from the tee to the basket with necessary doglegs and distance. I would also like it to show proper trees (so first timers can gauge how to throw their shot) and OB as well since I still do not know all the OB on this course except the obvious ones.
--Since the course is adjacent to an elementary school, I have had to wait a couple of times around midday during the weekdays in the spring and fall for the kids to get done with recess (recess for that school is around 10:30-Noon I think; that's when I have interfered with the child hordes at least). The holes affected by recess are 1-4 and 9.
--In the summer, watch out for flies and mosquitoes on holes 2-4!
--There is a lot of field space wasted around holes 5-7 that could have helped with the placement of holes 8-9 which are closer to the elementary school
--Personally, I would like the field holes (6-7) to have more of a challenge to them (maybe some trees here and there, or maybe make the holes longer)
--Hole 8 is placed in such a way where if there are kids playing around the corner to the left where you cannot see from the tee, your drive could hit them (I have had to wait for kids multiple times on this hole)

Great course for those looking to begin practicing the basics of disc golf! I started on this course and I continue to break my previous records, so it's a course that keeps me busy at least! Also, don't expect this course to be what it is not; it is only a course that is built into an existent trail system, so it wasn't built from scratch or anything. Since this is the case, it may look a little shabby since the "fairways" in the woods are actually gravel trails. That being said, you got to hand it to the makers and designers of the course for making it what it is. It's not a terrible course (I have seen worse!) and I can definitely imagine this course being better. All in all, it's a fun course!
