I really enjoyed this course, and I think what made it stand out for me were a) the decent elevation change you get in Kentucky, b) the technical, wooded nature of the course, and c) 24 holes that didn't feel repetitive and gave a nice variety of shots. This course was deserted when I was there, though it was very early in the morning. There are some walking paths to watch out for, but for the most part this area is for disc golf and there aren't many areas for interference.

This course is set in a large park and really lets you feel some connection with nature; I saw many deer on the course that were very curious what I was doing. The amenities are generally good, although I missed the practice basket at first. As you are approaching the parking lot for the course, it is on your left (not near tee 1).

I really enjoyed the first several holes in the woods most, although the whole course was fun. In particular, the double mando on Hole 11 is quite challenging - a lower skill player might consider it too difficult, but it forces excellent shot placement. Some may say this course is relatively short overall - personally, I love the technical difficulty and shorter distances, although some may not. The length of many holes is reasonable, but some of the technical holes are pretty short.

The baskets, tees, and tee signs are all decent, although I wish the concrete tees were a bit larger. My only real gripe on this course, however, was navigation. I appreciate that they added 6 holes to the 18 hole course later on, but there are some confusing points. After hole 3, you have to cross the parking lot to start hole 4, which isn't immediately obvious. After hole 14, it's very easy to turn right and cross the pickleball courts and parking lot to 15, but you actually have to backtrack to the far end of the parking lot, more towards the start of 14, to play hole F before 15. After playing 15-17, you proceed back across the parking lot to near the hole 14 basket to find the tee for 18.

Overall, this is a fun course and worth a bit of a drive to play. It's a bit longer with 24 holes but can be done in 1.5-2 hours by yourself. The courses up near Cincinnati (Idlewild, Mt. Airy) are in a completely different league than this course, but for things in the Lexington/Frankfort area this is a very respectable course I would return to.

Within earshot of the Kentucky State University's football stadium, East Frankfort is a busy family park with a variety of activities for the whole family: a dog park, tennis courts, fields, shelters, playgrounds...I even saw a couple of dedicated croquet courts! The disc golf course wanders in and out of the wooded areas, using the elevation and tree lines to define some interesting shots to the DISCatcher baskets. The very nice concrete tees have been stamped with par, hole number and distance, at least as of the date the concrete set up (otherwise, there is minimal signage). There are nice, durable benches and trash containers on or near almost every hole, and the maintenance is very good.

Scaled to challenge the casual to recreational player, all but one of the holes range between 142 and 266 feet, and demand fades, hooks and s- shaped shots in both directions, as well as a decent feel for how slight elevation changes affect shot selection. In all, that makes this a good course to learn on. There is one uphill 366 footer that bends right and enters the woods, to test the bigger ams, but most of the holes require reading the line and executing a reasonable shot, to get into deuce range.

There is ample parking in three different areas of the course, a practice basket set under a spreading tree by the center lot, and well-worn paths (most of the time) to lead you to the next tee. An excellent kiosk style message board and map await you at the first tee, and the infrastructure, such as bridges, is firm and safe.

...however... You WILL want to take a map the first couple of times you play this course because there are some unusual transitions (theoretically necessitated by the existing park amenities). For instance, it's totally unclear that you need to walk back around the driveway to the far corner of the center parking lot between holes 3 and 4. You cross the south (?) parking lot, the T-junction of the driveway(s) and through the fence gap to get from the 5th basket to the 6th tee, then cross the next parking lot to 7. You go beyond the 10th basket and up the path, turning right (there IS a sign) to get to the 11th tee. You walk from the 14th basket toward the tennis courts and into the corner of the woods to find the 15th tee. You emerge from the path to the middle of both the 16th and the 17th fairways (giving you a chance to locate both blind pin positions, though). And finally, you walk back toward the tennis courts, turn right, and cross the driveway to get from 17 to 18, then walk down the path to the center parking lot where you started on 1. All this with no elevated tee sign posts to look for, because of the stamped info down on the pads.

That stamping is cool, but obviously makes it impossible to adjust hole distance info as pin positions have been changed or improved. Some of the holes seem to play at different distances now.

The main takeaway I get from this course is that it is really fun to play, because the distances are well within my 'wheelhouse', and the woods are relatively forgiving, BUT the layout meant there are four or five awkward transitions in the course flow. Don't get me wrong, if this was in my neighborhood, I'd play it every week for the fun and experience. I'd just wish it flowed more smoothly.

Mostly wooded holes, but a few more open ones that were still challenging and not just thrown in. A lot of hole variety that required you to hit the line. The longest hole was only 366, but the course made up for the lack of distance with technical shots and tight fairways. All of the tees and signs were present and in good shape. Sweet tee pads with hole number and length on them. The fairways were clean and mowed, the park seemed pretty well taken care of.

Some of the holes, 11 and 17 in particular, seemed a bit too technical. They were almost U-turns instead of doglegs. The tees and the signs disagree on lengths, but I'm not sure how far off they are. The only other thing I noticed was the long walks between some holes. Definitely print out the map for this one.

I enjoyed this course quite a bit. You really have to be able to control the disc well in order to finish with a decent score, no huck and luck here.

Make sure you know where you're going. The walk to 4(tee is next to where you park), 15(across the road by the tennis courts), and then back 18(the tee you thought was 15) are a bit confusing at first.

T Pads have distance stamped in cement. Well manicured, tough technical course, good elevation changes, lots of benches and trash cans. Lots of anhyzers, some hyzers, and just a few open field shots. The woods really make you work on your midrange turns and acuracy.

It is a short course, with complex tree placement. My biggest gripe would have to be how far you have to walk to the next Tpad. You probably walk 27 holes worth of space to play 18. If you do not have a map with you you will have a very hard time finding the next hole on several occasions. There are also a couple occasions that you are driving perpendicular to a road, where a car could definitly get hit. A tight course shoe horned into a small multiuse park.

Glad I played it.

This is a pretty park with some creative holes that require precision landings. It is well kept and has nice (if narrow) tees and baskets. It has benches, garbage cans, and restrooms betwen 5 & 6 as well as between 12 & 13. It's short enough that I can play it after work but demanding enough that I don't get bored with it. It's never crowded but rarely vacant.

Errant shots can land in significant undebrush, but this isn't vicious bramble. You'll have a tricky shot to get back in play, but you aren't going to lose discs or skin. There are some elevation shots, but no major hills.

Long tees are (sometimes) marked on the ground in orange and make this a more challenging course for experienced players. (Long tees are marked on the map found on the "Links/Files" tab.) I am particularly fond of 5 and 11 long.

This course has poor flow and no directional signs. The walks between 3-4, 5-6, 10-11, 14-15, & 17-18 can be perplexing. BUT, there is an excellent map at hole 1 which helps. Also, holes 12 - 14 circumnavigate a playground. On the rare occasions when the playground is crowded, you must throw cautiously.

There're some sketchy folk who hang out in cars in the back parking lot - I'm just sayin'. Do with that information what you will.

The first hole is the second hardest on the course. If you are new to disc golf, just keep going. You will find easier shots and some open fairways before you are done.

There was some talk about re-ordering the holes as follows: 1-3, 5, 17, 15, 16, 6-14, 18, 4. It plays much better in this order - particularly if you are throwing from the long tees - and has only one awkward walk between 16 and 6.
