-Uses many of the available trees for obstacles, as well as playing along a small creek to add challenge
-This is a "9" basket course with 2 tees each, see below for more on this
-Pond in play for 4 holes (2 baskets), adding a degree of risk
-Bathrooms typically available, as well as porta-johns
-Don't know of any drinking water available
-Plenty of parking

-Grass tee pads. Some holes have square concrete markers in the ground, but not all.
-SOME holes have tee signs, but tee signs are only yellow numbers, no description of direction of play, and many are missing as well. Udisc or other GPS enabled app is a must for wayfinding
-Baskets are old, possibly DGA, but only have a single ring of chains. Putt gently if you want it to stick
-Baskets are not marked with hole numbers, so it is very challenging to find where you are playing to
-No "Next Tee" markers
-This course shares 2 of it's 9 baskets with Echo Valley (currently the highest rated course in Ohio). This allows for the use of much newer and well cared for discatchers, but it also means that you will be competing with other players on busy days, as well as crossing over the fairway of hole 1 on Echo Valley 4 times. Seriously not a fan of this.
-No signs for way finding
-The course land is poorly drained, so be prepared if it has rained recently
- The margins of the course aren't very clear, so losing discs is a possibility
-Park is multi-use, so be prepared for possible interactions w/ pedestrians

I think it's fair to say that this course was once an independent and solid course, but the proximity and shared space with an excellent course like Echo Valley makes the stark contrast between them even greater. With some simple signage alone, this course would be well improved. With a gentle re-design that takes the course off of Echo Valley's fairways, this could be a good course again. For now, it's best service is putting practice on tournament days at Echo.

Passable at best.

Beautiful park.

No map.

No teepads.

Signs only have number, no idea where the baskets are since there is nothing else on the sign.

Some of the tees were missing their signs so I made up a shot.

One of the signs was laying on the ground 10 feet from the pad. Vandals / disrespectful filth the most likely the cause.

Broken glass near some of the tees. Don't be a Trash-hole throw your shit in a Trash can.

Only a 9 hole. (Barely)

Overall a letdown. How is this almost a 3 star course on DGCR ? Lol

Park setting. Grass is cut low. All tees had small signs (with only the hole number on them). The hole layout is nicely done, and offers the more experienced player with a few risk/reward shots, some low ceiling shots, and holes that benefit throwers with a good forehand throw. Would make for a good recreational course for the casual player (minus the risk/reward factor...more below).

Has 18 holes/tees playing to 9 baskets. The tees are well marked, and there is now a rudimentary map in the Files section. However, the tees are grass. They are marked by a set of concrete markers set in the ground.
Baskets. Although new, they are cheap baskets, and have a single row of chains, leading to discs passing through the chains and out the other side. The baskets have no number signs, and there is no sign to indicate the direction to the next tee.
Risk/Reward Shots. This is a pro for the more experienced player, however, not so for a recreational player. For example, the basket for Hole 6/15 is located about 4 feet from a pond, and the approach shot is looking uphill, so you are unaware of the danger of throwing in the pond. While an experienced player will be forced to choose how aggressive to be, the recreational player, who may only have a couple discs, stands an increased chance of losing a disc. While this type of basket position is ok with me, for a new player deciding if they like the game, a lost disc may be all it takes to turn them off to disc golf. Hole 9/18 has a similar pond problem.

This was my first time playing the course. I noticed in the description that they planned on expanding to 18 baskets, and the last review was from last year, so I thought I would go and see if the course changed. It had not. This course would be vastly improved with concrete tees, new baskets, with number signs, and signs pointing to the next tee, better tee signage (good signs have map of hole, and shows players ponds and other obstacles), and the moving of several basket positions to cater to the recreational player more (4 feet from a water hazard is a bit too close).

Summer 2021 note: Since the opening of Echo Valley, the Eagle Ridge course appears to have lost any way to play holes after 5 (14): though there are still two baskets by the pond, the posts appear to be missing for 5,6,7,8,9,15,16,17 & 18, and the basket for 6 (15) & 8 (17) have been necessarily removed from the overlapping fairways. Furthermore, though they still maintain the mowing and trimming in the park-like front half, the trees have grown in to such an extent this is in no way a 'beginner' ;layout, in terms of challenge, difficulty, or even safety. If anyone knows the plans for the course (the baskets), I'd love to hear...

Personally, I like a well- maintained park course where there is little chance of losing a disc. If you have a disc retriever for the small pond (you'll putt to within 10' four times!), you're good to go. Take it as a pro or a con, Eagle Ridge was designed in the back of Patricia Allyn Park (on route 48, north of Lebanon, OH) with obstacles, tight or low lines and actual risk/ reward opportunities. You're either going to face disc-grabbing cypress trees, challenging gaps, or going in the drink, on nearly every hole.

There are two sets of tees (each marked by a pair of ground-level blocks) and nine baskets. Starting at the course sign just left of the shelter, first consult the map for layout, then look for the small orange tee markers for the first nine, and come back around for the yellow markers for the 'back nine'.

Holes 1 and 2 (add nine all the way through: the second tees change some shot angles) start you into the cypress grove, 3 and 4 cross a small, pretty drainage creek (with 4's basket precariously close to the ditch), and 5 hyzers (rhbh) across a beautifully built (Eagle Scout project) bridge, to a basket just inside the woods. 6 is a long-arm uphill hole finishing behind a pine tree and just 8 feet from the pond. 7 is a reachable 330' glide downhill (stay right if you go short), that just barely enters the woods again, and 8 shoots out from the edge of the woods into a small glade. You finish on 9 (18) between a pair of pines and again about 7' from the pond.

This park has all the amenities, and is very clean and well-maintained. The disc golf is set apart from most of the other activities, though there does appear to be a nice trail back in the woods to the right. You usually won't have to wait on non-DGers to clear the area.

18 chains are nice on a basket, but the single ring of them allows cut-throughs if you putt strong. Tees are natural turf (though they don't yet seem to be overly worn in). There are no distance markers.

The flow of the course runs in a bit of a figure-8, so going from 4/13 to 5/14 crosses the 1/10 fairway.

If you're not up to shaping lines carefully, keeping your lines below overhanging branches, and still being able to shoot well between 250' and 350', this course could eat your lunch! And if you stress out putting toward water, this might not be your cup of tea.

The front and back nine were designed to have some balance, but as you go around twice, you can either play it as designed with a mix of long and short tees, or (if you brought less experienced players) you might want to play the nine shorter tees.

The park appears to have a lot of potential for more holes, incorporating more of the woods, or even out along the sides, where there's still lots of room. A simple shot over the pond as you walk back to the beginning would be neat.

Long holes great for working on your driving skills. The park itself is nice

Almost impossible to find tee pads. Not a very challenging course. Hard to find your way around

Needs more prominent tee pads
