Updated:
Played on:Jun 15, 2023
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
-- Dedicated disc golf area. The course is on the east side of the property. Once you enter the wooded part of the course, you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere.
-- Tee signs with everything you need, including a photo.
-- Cement tee pads.
-- Excellent use of the land.
-- Two throws over a deep creek/ravine, but both are now unplayable because of a lack of maintenance. No. 5 was especially picturesque. Water is also in play on Nos. 1 and 17 with the lake/pond.
-- Fun shorter shots on the early holes that require you to hit your lines and navigate trees. Good throws should net you birides; bad shots land you in jail.
-- No. 7 is a great ace run, but the steep drop off and all of the vegetation just behind the basket punishes you for overthrowing.
-- No. 9 plays right beside the parking lot, so restocking midround is easy.

Cons:
-- Really tall grass.
-- Hole 12 is the longest hole on the course (514 feet), but there is not much challenge other than the length. Bushes and water lurk right, but left is wide open, so playing safe is easy.
-- While throwing across the creek is cool, crossing the creek is not. No. 5 isn't terrible (follow the path slightly left to go around), but No. 10 requires a LONG walk left from the tee, down a path to the creek and then back right. Much of that area down by the creek is wet and slippery. If it has rained recently, I can imagine that being under water and not crossable.
-- Flow is not great. Several times you walk through or right behind a tee box to get to another hole.
-- No restrooms, trash cans, water. Bring what you need, and take your trash with you when you leave.

Other Thoughts:
-- There are a lot of narrow gaps to hit here. That makes for a good challenge, but the lack of maintenance has already eliminated two holes, and other are getting close.
-- This almost has the feel of two 9-hole courses near each other. The divide is really 1-10, and 11-18, but taking it as two 9s, the front averages 204 feet and the back 316.
-- Super friendly people. A maintenance worked on a golf cart went out of his way to come talk to us and let us know of water moccasin danger near the water.
