Pros:
- Nice baskets
- Onsite camping
- Makes other courses look better?
Cons:
- Little to no disc golf experience is evidenced in the design.
- Natural and rough teepads
- Thickly wooded fairways with hoards of tiny trees
Other Thoughts:
This is the only course within an hour of me that I've not played numerous times. Twice was plenty. The course was clearly not designed by anyone that has played much disc golf, as the lines are over-tight, awkward, and above all, no fun to throw. Of the 90+ courses I have played around the country, this is the bottom rung. Many of the holes make very little sense, and force difficulty with fairways full of brush, low branches, and tiny trees in the only visible lanes. Do you like horseshoe shaped holes? They have em and the fairways are so thickly wooded that it's easier to get a 2 cutting through the woods than it is to get a 4 following the fairway.
I have held off on reviewing this course because I would rather write about courses I enjoyed (there are so many excellent ones out there!), but this is literally the only course I would recommend skipping entirely and I'd hate for anyone to play it thinking they were going to get a 2.5 disc experience. To paraphrase Billy Madison:
Forest Glen, what you've just built is one of the most insanely idiotic courses I have ever played. At no point in your rambling, incoherent design were you even close to anything that could be considered a reasonable hole. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having played it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Half a disc for nice baskets and the effort. Sorry if you're the designer.
