This Is A Decent Course For Middle School Students! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 1, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Once you can see past the point that this course wasn't designed with the average disc golfer in mind, then you should be able to wrap your mind around the fact that this is an OK course for middle school students. It starts at the back of the school and then plays counter clockwise around the football field. The course has a crushed rock tee pad on # 1. Subsequent holes had worn spots near the tee signs. The little tee signs are fine giving the hole #, par and distance. Pars are appropriate for middle schoolers such as # 4 playing as a 213' par 4 and # 3, a 219' par 4. Please allow these kids the thrill of getting a birdie or two. You can play each any way and with any par you choose. Myself, I picked up a few eagles but no aces. The baskets are slightly faded Discatchers with a nice round piece of carpet (turf) set in paving stones under each basket. Looks nice and prevents unsightly erosion and puddling under the baskets.

Every hole is an Ace Run for anyone who has played previously. # 1 is 135' and wide open, Enjoy your Ace Run!

Cons:

The # 5 basket which previously sat out by the wooded area is gone.

Middle school challenge, distances and pars. But it's a middle school course.

Some rough on the right on later holes.

Other Thoughts:

This course was pretty well designed with the strengths and weaknesses of this age group taken into consideration. It's short enough to give them the success they crave but long enough that's it not a joke to them. I'm impressed that the course shows no sign of any vandalism when you factor in that these kids are just reaching their prime vandalism years.

As far as any real disc golfers playing here, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a course bagger. Then go for it.

Well maintained, but EXTREMELY boring 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 23, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Good for field work
-Good for brand new players who don't want to worry about trees
-Surprisingly good tee box signs
-Easy to navigate
-Baskets were in great condition

Cons:

-Way too short
-Way too open
-Only 8 holes
-Only available outside of school hours
-No teeboxes, just worn spots in the grass

Other Thoughts:

Difficulty (0.5/5): A couple of holes run beside a forest, but even that doesn't really present a threat unless you have a terrible release. There isn't a single tree in any of the fairways, and most holes are easily aceable. Despite that short distance, a good portion of the holes are marked as Par 4. I scored a -6 on this 8 hole course after having only played for 3 months.

Maintenance (3/5): The strongest suit of this course. The tee signs are in great shape, as are the baskets. There aren't any teeboxes, but there is worn patches in the grass next to the tee signs. The grass is kept short.

Variability (0.5/5): There is one hole that would require an anhyzer (RHBH) to get close off the tee. The rest are essentially in an open field.

Flow/Experience (1/5): Hole 8 finished about 300 yards away from the parking lot next to Hole 1, and it's tough to find the teebox for Hole 3. Overall, I left this course very disappointed. It was basically like playing on a football field.
