Play with a local if possible 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Mostly wooded and well maintained, reasonable rough. Restroom and practice baskets. Multiple pads.

Cons:

Buggy, use bug spray in summer. Confusing. Even having taken a picture of the 18 hole layout, The signage on the tee pads may list multiple baskets, and the directional signage doesn't necessarily lead you to the next tee. We got really confused trying to find tee 4 and 5. Finally a local came up behind us, played through, and we followed him out playing just 9 holes.

Other Thoughts:

It's a nice course. If I lived in the area, it's a course I'd play enough to figure it out. But as a stop on a disc golf road trip, it was too confusing to be considered a high point.

The park itself seems to have something for everyone.

Other Thoughts:

Thanks for the honest reviews. The course continues to develope and get better. At the time of the review from StrikerME02 the course was only 50 DAYS OLD, literally. He was very right about many things. The course layout was very vague and the tee signs were blank while the maps were developed. Many holes were only roughed in with little clearing done. This has all changed. Full color Tee sign maps are now present for all holes. All of the fairways have been cleared and even opened up more since sean-arch's review. Concrete Tee pads are in the works, but this is in leu of funding from sponsorship, of which we are aggressively searching for. The course can get muddy in places, but we are identifying all of these areas needing love and getting them taken care of. Of course winter will slow these efforts so be patient.
Poison Ivy. Yes it is abundant, but we have done our best to eliminate it from all fairways and many fringe areas. It has lived here for a hundred years unchecked, so it won't go away tomorrow. We are dedicated to making the experience here as Poison Ivy free as possible.
The course is fairly technical, meaning you need to consider your risk vs reward with every shot. You need to be on the fairway or the immediate fringe. If not, you will pay the price. This can irritate some, but it is part of becoming a better disc golfer.
We have already had one successful tournament and have our Ice Bowl coming up. We have a weekly beginner friendly event every Saturday at 2pm.
