Fun & thoughtful 9 holes
Reviewed:
Played on:Oct 24, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
It appears this course was recently upgraded from 5 to 9 holes. It's simple, but I think the designer/community did a nice job of making a fun track that embraces a lot of elements of disc golf. Some open shots with chances to bomb drives. One major elevation change. Some tight wooded lines, and more. This course could be better, but clearly, thought was put into it, and I love to see disc golf growing in a small community. Check my other thoughts below for a hole-by-hole breakdown.
-requires backhand and forehand shots
-bathroom by hole 1
-plenty of parking
-great views in the fall
-VERY NICE playground nearby where your kids could play
-decent navigation. UDisc helps, but you could probably figure it out without it
-Tee signs on every hole
-Very short drive to this course off the highway

Cons:
-No tee pads
-Okay shot variety. For the most part, a straight shot with limited fade is the way to go.

Other Thoughts:
Hole 1 - It's right next to the parking lot and plays east toward the giant hill. The basket is between two trees that are probably 40 feet apart. Simple hole. You could go straight at it or throw a hyzer. The basket is a little further than it looks off the tee, maybe 10 feet.
Hole 2 - It's a bomb of throw from the flat field up the large hill/mound. The tee sign says it's a par 3 at 326 feet. I bet it takes 400 feet of power to get to the basket. From the tee sign, you can see the hill has a flatter side/space that's roughly 100 feet away from the basket. Try to land there for good footing, and then pitch up the hill. From the tee sign/hill landing zone, you can't see the base of the basket. There were about 15-20 feet of space past it, so you have some room to land before your disc will roll down.
Hole 3 - From Hole 2's basket, walk north down the hill and turn to your right to find the tee sign. This is a long, straight drive with OB on the left side of the hole, left of the walking path. No obstacles really. The tee space has a slight right to left slope to it, so that could mess up a drive and send you OB.
Hole 4 - Back track from Hole 3's basket back toward the big hill from Hole 2. From the tee sign, you're throwing towards the tree line left of the dog park. The basket is visible from the tee right along the tree line. Distance control is the challenge on this one. If you go 8 feet past the basket you're in the woods.
Hole 5 - Head into the woods through the path near hole 4's basket. This was probably my favorite hole. Wooded fairway. Midway down the fairway, you need to split a gap that requires a right-to-left shot. However, in my opinion, the basket placement is so straight off the tee that a Right-handed backhand won't get you there. You'll end up crashing into the woods in circle 2. I think this hole requires a right-handed forehand turnover. I was able to hit the gap and ended up 25 long of the basket.
Hole 6 - Just north of hole 5's basket. This hole starts in the woods with a gap hit about 40 feet off the tee. From the gap it opens up more, but the fairway remains lined by trees on both sides, with more space on the right. Essentially, this requires a straight shot to pin it.
Hole 7 - slight backtrack from Hole 6's basket to a path leading back into the woods. To get to circle 1, you need a mostly dead straight shot. For my game, a flip-up forehand driver made the most sense. For a backhand shot, I think you'd need to go with a midrange or putter off the tee that moves slightly right during the flight.
Hole 8 - From hole 7's basket, head to the walking path you can see and take a right. You'll see 8's sign shortly after. This is another dead straight woods shot with a small gap to split at the end. Beat the gap, and you probably birdie. Hit those trees, you're looking at a 30 - 40 footer. There's a forehand line to the left side of the gap that requires you to split 2 trees that are roughly 15 feet apart. If you hit those and fall down, you'll be in thick rough, but overall, that left side gap/line has more space to fly.
Hole 9 - tee is visible from hole 8's basket. This hole is out of the woods, and it plays back to the parking lot by hole 1. Multiple trees create a low ceiling. Very well-designed to be difficult. I think a roller could get there, but this is far. The tee sign calls it 330, but it feels more like 360 or 370. Parking lot is on your left for most of the fairway, but it feels far enough away that I didn't worry about it.
