Ace Run High 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 20, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Tons of ace run opportunities.
- Great for driving putters & midranges
- Beginner friendly
- One hole has a decent (320'+) length which allows you to air out a driver
- Nice signage on each hole as well as a good info kiosk. Arrows on the baskets point you to the next tee.
- Quick round if you're pressed for time.

Cons:

Holes are really short. Even with the alt tees (which I couldn't find), they weren't very challenging. Most of them hold a straight line, which can be achieved with virtually any throw.

- Doesn't utilize any of the wooded area nearby. Not sure if this belongs to the HS, but it would have been a nice terrain balance to the monotonous open air holes.

- Since the baskets are peppered all around a bunch of fields, there's some fairway crossing issues. This is especially true with holes #2 and 9.

- There's a lot of equipment that can get into the way of your throws: batting cages, soccer nets, football fields, etc. Obviously this course would be unplayable if any athletic event or practice was going on.

Other Thoughts:

Definitely your typical high school disc golf course: baskets weave around football/soccer fields, all holes are short and wide open, and poses no real challenge.

I get that this course isn't designed for the touring pro, or even the 800 rated player for that matter. It's a nice recreational opportunity for locals in Freehold. I also love how it is designed for introducing high schoolers to disc golf! Must be a great phys. ed class!

Come for the ace runs but don't make a major destination out of it.

It is what it is 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

It is what it is....and it is a course meant for school kids. I think it would be more appropriate for middle schoolers than high schoolers, to be quite honest. It is great for groups of kids, like scouts to get introduced to the game and to have a group instruction. And I applaud the effort to get a course into a school athletic grounds. I would have loved to have that as a kid for sure.

Cons:

If you compare disc golf to golf....this would be a mini golf course. If you played disc golf before and you consider yourself a decent player, there is no need to bring more than 1 putter.

Other Thoughts:

Go and play there if you live close by and you have little or no experience playing disc golf.

Go there is you want to improve your short game and putting.

Do not go there if you have to drive a long distance - you may be disappointed.

Do not go there thinking that it will be a challenging round.

It is what it is. And for that I will give it a rating of 1.5.
