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.
