Pros:
Even without the map, which was posted several hours after I played, the course is fairly easy to navigate, using the next tee arrows attached to the bottom of each brand new basket.
Decent variety: 1-4, 8-10, 17-18 open, 5-6, 11-15 wooded, 7&16 start in woods, finish in open. Several of the baskets on the open holes are located at the edge of, or upon, moderately steep slopes, and/or bring elevation into play.
Rubber pads installed at most tees, with plans to finish the other. Found a second tee location for #1 and #16, so perhaps other holes will have alternate tees, too.
Cons:
Don't confuse tee-5 (cross-slope) with tee-12 (up-slope), as they are quite near to each other. Tee-1 is along left side of parking lot. Tee-18 is behind leftfield corner fence.
A few of the wooded holes (13-15) appear quite similar (~250', slight right turn), as do some of the fast greens on the open holes.
Teepads seem small, maybe 3.5'x7.5', and a few in the woods are uneven/sloping.
TBD/Potential:
- How wet will low-laying holes 1-3 be/remain when it rains?
- How many discs will be lost in the shule (1-3) or fence (4) along the left-side of the fairways?
- How much of the leafy stuff in the woods (5-7, 11-16) is poison ivy?
- How often will discs turn/fade (1, 8-10, 17-18) towards other park users?
Other Thoughts:
Take a big piece of sloping land, terraform the middle/front of it so that you can install a baseball field, two small soccer fields, and a parking lot. Add paved walking paths around, and between, these fields. Then, using the outer rim, install a disc golf course, using the elevation changes provided by the terraforming, and the untouched woods in the far back corner.
There were no teesigns/distance information available when I played, but I do recall teeing off with a spread of mids, fairway drivers, and distance drivers, with #16, starting in woods, ending in open, likely the longest - maybe 450', The open holes, naturally, don't require much shape, mainly just the ability to control your fade. As one might predict, the woods holes were shorter, elevation was less a factor, and required either straight, are slightly right-turning, shots from the tee.
The course should be solid, and worth checking out, especially if you're playing Codorus Blue/Red. Hopefully the potential Cons I listed above will not turn out to be much of an issue.
