Lots of potential 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 19, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great beginner/intermediate level course in a large park on the outskirts of Columbus. May be too simple/short for advanced players.

Baskets - 9 very grippy baskets that catch great. I believe they are Chainstar.

Tees - 2 natural tees per hole. Alternate tees are marked as holes 10-18 similarly to Sahm in Indy and Biddle in Sheridan. Alternate tees are more challenging due to longer distance, lines, and more trees as obstacles. Course played enough to where grass is wearing away at tee.

Signs - 1 Sign per basket (holes 1/10 share sign). Signs include map of hole, locations and distances of both tees, par, and sponsor. Signs located at tee for holes 1-9.

Variety - Elevation changes on every hole, some minor some moderate. Mature trees on every hole that will make or break your day. Hole 2/11 border a lake which creates a water hazard. Most holes are similar in distance. A few tunnel like shots but not too narrow.

Elevation changes - some minor rolling hills. Hole 5/14 stood out the most in terms of elevation.

Picnic tables and trash cans are located throughout the course under a pavilion near hole 1, 4, and 5.

Easy to get to from highway. From 46, signs point you towards park. Once in park, signs point you towards course (get a park map too it helps). Course is immediately past the shack at bottom of hill.

Room to expand. This park is large enough to make this course a full 18, if not more. There is also room on the other side of park to create an additional course. (see additional).

Scenic course. Park has it all. Hills, trees, lake, and people.

Port a potty near hole 1.

Cons:

Natural tees - Doesn't usually effect me. Holes 4, 5, and 7 had roots growing in the tees which can be a safety issue. Alternate tees were hard to find due to leaves on the ground. Concrete tees would greatly improve this course. Would boost its appearance and help with navigation.

Signs - Course could us a map at start of course as well as signs at the alternate tees.

Course could use a practice basket.

Alternate pin placements would also improve course.

Other Thoughts:

This was a great course and I will try to come back if in the area. It is better than many 9 hole dual tee courses I have played before. If it had dual concrete tees, a practice basket, a map, and more signs, I would have given this course a 3 out of 5. There is potential to expand which is also a plus. I would love to see this course expanded or another course added to the Columbus area. Nearest course is about 30 minutes away.

When I played, I did not have to pay a fee at the gate. Not sure if this is the case all the time.

I was a little disappointed the woods behind hole 1 wasn't utilized (wooded and downhill bordering a lake). An additional hole could be put here or a pin placement would make this more challenging.

Lots of activities for the family to do at park. My girlfriend took many pictures of the scenery and played a few holes. I would give this course a shot and would recommend it to beginners or intermediate players in the area or passing by.

Good starter course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a good course to start playing disc golf on. There aren't too many challenges or dangers except for a one hole with a water hazard. It is very rarely played, so no waits should ever be expected.

Cons:

Obviously, there is an eventual limit to the number of times you can play a course, and this one is not overly playable. Also, there are very few courses anywhere nearby.

Other Thoughts:

The course record is 14-under the listed par, with holes in one being registered on both the first and last holes (pars 4 and 3).
