Pros:

Multiple tee pads make this nine hole college sports facility course a pretty decent 2x9 layout. Those tees are large, level, concrete, and clearly stamped as #,A and #,B. While there are no tee signs, the designers have a beautiful map and scorecard (with accurate distances) listed here on DGCR which you should print for a first time visit. The cleanliness of the map gives you a hint of how sharp and clean they keep the sports facilities at Cedarville. The course condition was awesome, even in the winter(s) when I've visited. The 24 chain DGA baskets with number plates look brand new. Almost everywhere needed, a simple next tee arrow points the way under the basket cage, to the blue (long) next tee.

The course has variety in a small package, and shouldn't frustrate even Recreational level players from the short tees. Not to say that it isn't possible, but an Intermediate player would have to really mess up to take a bogie here, even from the longer tees. You won't have to do a lot of technical shot-shaping here, but there is a tree on short #1 to work around, there are paths, fences and tree lines to avoid, and holes 6, 8, and 9 finish with some challenges. 6 is a beautiful pine lane ace run from either tee, 8 hooks right to left into a woodsy gap, and 9 hooks left to right from the short tee. The long tee on 9 requires a bit of a shaped shot because of its placement by the tennis court fence corner.

In all, Cedarville has a winner of a well thought out and excellently maintained nine hole recreational course here.

Cons:

There isn't a next tee arrow on hole 4's basket, and first timers will likely find themselves walking forward to hole 8, a little confused.

The lack of elevation and the openness of most shots means that most higher skilled players won't want to go out of their way to stop by for a look.

Other Thoughts:

The front page does state that this is a course for folks affiliated with Cedarville University, but it is not specifically listed as private, and I saw not a soul out there either time I've been by. I know I should have contacted someone before coming, but I was heading through to see courses here and in Springfield, and I hope they don't mind.

Short and Sweet (much like Mark Irving!) 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Although the course was designed within strict limits, the designers made perfect use of the space they were given. If you are not dealing with tree's you are dealing with wind. In most cases, you have both.

For me, it is a great course to take my kids on as it is easy to walk.

Cons:

No Tee Pads or signs. Should be something we will see soon.



Other Thoughts:

This is the perfect course if all you have is an hour but you don't want to simply toss a disc in a field. It is not hard by any means but it is challenging in its own right.

Great College Campus Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 13, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great mix of length and tactical holes on the well maintained grounds of Cedarville University. Very well laid out course, easy to find the next hole. #6 The pine tree tunnel is very cool. Smells nice, and keeps you cool.

Cons:

Only Grass Tees and no sign posts, but there are plans to add real tees later. Mostly Flat.

Other Thoughts:

Very much enjoying having a disc golf course where I work!

Nice course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 21, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A nice course. Not overly difficult. I love the holes that are in the pine trees. The tunnel shot on #6 is really cool. The layout of the holes makes you have to use a variety of shots (hyzers, annys, etc.)

Cons:

None, really.

Other Thoughts:

I love having a course on campus that we can play whenever we want. Thanks to the guys that designed it.
