I didn't know what to expect when I got to this course. The reviews and the few pictures that were available were pretty underwhelming. Well let's put all that to rest. This course is solid. Does it require a big arm to score well....yes. This is definitely not a beginner course. On to the review

Lots of things to like here:
-Elevation changes all over this course. There are 3-4 holes on this course that are level. The rest are throwing downhill or uphill. Very fun to throw and it really requires you to know how your discs react in the wind and going up and down hill.
-Length. This isn't your typical city park course with a bunch of 275ft hyzers This course is long. I believe it comes in at over 7,000ft!
-Tee signs and pads. Old reviews talk about difficult navigation and back tracking... Maybe the course had a redesign when signs and pads went it because I didn't find navigation too bad. however wasn't perfect as discussed below.
-Standout holes. There are some really fun holes to throw here:
Hole 3: Nice 2 shot hole across a little valley
Hole 7: Fun Downhill turnover
Hole 12: Another Downhill smash
-Course Maintenance. Park was in great shape. Looks like Palmyra is another small town deciding to send some money on their big major park. I always like to see that.

This course really lets you air it out, gives you chances to throw max distance turnovers and flex shots and the grass is cut short to allow for some rollers.

And yet there are still a sprinkling of holes under 275ft where you step up to the tee and think "yeah, this is a birdie for me"

It's not all rainbows and lollipops.

I really wanted to give this course 4.5 stars but there are a couple frustrating issues with the design that really grate on you.

1. Hole 1 is not the closest tee to the parking area. That would be Hole 10. It's not intuitive. Luckily Udisc makes any navigation issues irrelevant. Sadly not everyone uses Udisc so in that case you need a big sign that says "Hole 1 this way!"

Crummy hole design on the back nine. Hole design on this course starts out great and by the time I got to hole 10 I thought "Wow, what a hidden gem this town has" Well perhaps whoever designed or redesigned this course thought the same thing and then went on holiday or walkabout sometime while designing the back nice. There is some real dross on this back 9. The real low light is the run of holes 13-16. Hole 13 is the best of the bunch which is like saying it's the best trip to the dentist. Its a 2 shot hole that plays uphill out a tiny gap into a huge field.

Then you have hole 14. The tee sign for hole 14 should be a Six Flags caricature drawing of the designer flipping you the bird. It's another downhill tee shot that a backhand putter or more likely a flick with an OS fairway driver. But thats no fun! How about I, the genius course designer, stick a double mando with a a low ceiling between two tree that are not in line with the basket. These two tree are about 15 feet and 40 feet to the right of the basket so the only playing is a rhbh hzyer with something really fast and OS and hope you get a skip or the roller which has a much better chance of rolling down the hill and actually making it to the basket thanks to the low ceiling. I'm sure when the course was built the 2 tree made a gap that an air shot could go through but now, years later, the trees have grown and your forced to throw under vs through.
Hole 15. There are several holes on this course where the basket is tucked into the woods and completely out of sight from the tee...Did Gateway have a part in this design.. on this hole the designers got really creative and force you to throw a blind shot around a corner with a gravel OB road right on the line. Also these woods are dense and your throwing a huge spike hyzer in the back door to park this hole. if you miss the circle you're probably not finding the disc. it would be fun to throw with spotters. without spotters its terrifying. I threw a Gateway Prophecy bc I didn't care if I lost it and it carried straight over the road into a ditch.
Hole 16 is just a bland 225ft hyzer to get you back up the hill.

The run of these holes really puts a sour taste in your mouth after playing such a fun course and lowers my rating to 3.75

As I was playing this course I could not believe the rating was under 3.0. By the time I was finished with my round I'd settled on a 3.75. Sadly the site goes in .5 increments and this course is better than 3.5 so I bumped it to 4.

I'd love to play this course in a tournament setting with spotters or in a group of 4-5 players were we could find discs. Several of the downhill holes on this course offer a risk reward of throwing rollers or huge turnovers that could disappear into the treeline out of your immediate view. So playing solo I didn't throw those shots. I threw shots where I knew I would have to search for an errant throw.

So many of these tees you get to step up and unload and most of the throws are downhill. It's a hoot.

Go play it and after hole 13, just walk right pat the playground to 17 or walk down the hill a little ways to throw 16 since it's 1 of only 2 super shorty sub 230ft holes on this course.

One of the best courses in the area in my opinion. Course is very long compared to other courses around. The holes make good use of trees and elevation. Scenery on the course really is exceptional.

As other reviews have already stated, the navigation on this course really is abysmal. Several makes you back track to get from the previous basket to the next tee pad, and every single hole requires at least a bit of walking to the next tee. (The walk from hole 9 to hole 10 and the walk from hole 15 to hole 16 are the worst by far)

Overall, this is a great, long, challenging course that experienced players will surely love! Long holes that you can really give all you got are few and far between for more advanced players in the area but this course gives you plenty of opportunities to throw over 400 feet. Would not recommend playing this course for the first time without someone who has played it before, it would be almost impossible to find every hole. If navigation on this course was some sort of resemblance of coherence this course would easily be 4.5-5 stars for me.

Side note: the course offers two tee locations for every hole, this is listed on this website as well as on the teepads. The long tee pads are the concrete tee pads and the location of the tee sign is the location of the short tees, this may clear up some confusion over the "random" tee sign placement!

i played after a long winter and they have done a lot of work to the course of that time...they got all the signs in, the now have white intermediate tee markers so you can find your way to the tees easily, and the grass is well taken care of

the course is hard to find your way around but its set and if you havnt played herer bring the map

Layout was good. Lots of open area to throw in. Rolling hills with some finesse shots on a few holes.

Signs need to be put up and a map somewhere to look at. But in their defense, it is still a course being put into place.

Beautiful location and easy to find with my GPS.
