Ace run at youth course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 1, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

3 baskets with 3 tee pads makes 9 holes of ace runs.
Great place to introduce young children to disc golf or for an expereinced player to try for aces.
Some risk verse reward shots. On hole 3 if you go for the ace you could fade 30-50 feet down hill on the left.
Orange toe boards on all A pins.
Holes are relatively easy, but 900+ rated players can still toss a 3, but every position of every hole is easily dueceable.

Cons:

UPDATE: The tee markers have been destroyed making the tees difficult to find.
All B pins have been removed.
___
course is mostly open, but there is a chance of disc loss in the thorns on holes 2 and 3 for novice players. this is a putter course, the only place to use your driver is the 600 foot open field below the disc golf course.
very old baskets (retired from Pohick Bay and repainted)
Currently 2B is in high grass, so the basket will stay in 2A for a majority of the summer.

Other Thoughts:

UPDATE: If you are in the area this is a fine place for a quick practice, but it is not worth the travel.
________
there is a tone pole for hole 4 as an experiment, but the flow is better when you just go to a different tee.
1.5 may be too generous, but the course is made for children and a really fun group of ace possibilites...plus, I am bias.
If you are coming down and want to play the A and B pin locations contact me.
When using scorecard. C tees are red, A tees are White, and B are Blue. It is a little confusing but we are working on that.
