One of the best wooded courses I've played anywhere 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 5, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well maintained with more than generous fairways as well as an amazing water hole where they built an entire dock / deck for a 300' water hole

Cons:

Signage is confusing with all of the different layouts they have... 9, 18, 27 and 24 hole layouts.

The Real Deal! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 2, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Beautifully scenic State Park.
- The course design makes excellent use of the topography available. Constant elevation changes.
- Vast and secluded. Even on the busiest days of play its seems as if you have the course to yourself.
- Wide array of different holes and shot selections.
- Three large tee pads per hole. Rough tee pad surface allows for good footing in inclement conditions.
- Informative signage per hole. Excellent use of arrows to the next hole for easy navigation for each the red,white and blue tees.
- Baskets are in great shape. Multiple baskets on holes 2,9,12 and 15.
- Out of bounds markings are well defined by yellow rope.
- Well maintained and clean. Trash cans throughout the course.
- Good use of picnic tables and benches throughout the course. Each round provides plenty of exercise.
- Local club does a fantastic job of maintaining this huge course. No small feat.
- Large parking lot with bathrooms. Kiosk with disc related information. Practice basket is a short walk to the first hole.

Cons:

- Course is not for all skill levels.
- Some rough areas in the trees. A final cleanup or thinning of the course would do wonders.
- Poison Ivy prevalent throughout the course.

Other Thoughts:

Punderson Disc Golf Course is an absolutely huge and technical 18 hole course. Beautifully scenic and secluded. This heavily wooded course has narrow but well defined fairways and some low ceilings. Excellent variety of holes and shot selections. Great use of elevation and terrain changes. Water comes into play on holes 1,3,4,6, and 15. Great tee pads and baskets. Comprehensive hole signs and navigation arrows. Excellent flow throughout the course. Course starts and finishes with a short walk to the parking lot.
The local disc club does a fantastic job of keeping this mammoth course well maintained and the course seems to be ever evolving into a championship caliber challenge. Being part of the Punderson State Park allows a wide array of other fun activities for non disc golfers.

Punderson is hands down one of the best disc golf courses in Ohio and it will only get better with time.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 6, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

three sets of big concrete tee pads. Red White and Blue

addition of a 27 hole layout which is both rec friendly yet challenging

nice wide fairways with plenty of trees within the fairway to keep you honest

a very unique island hole located on an actual island with a very large platform to play back to the mainland

the course is not on a common use park area. exclusively for disc golfers

very well maintained by volunteers. kept very clean

Excellent 2+ years drive by

Pros:

-Island Hole! The Bridge is IN!
-Challenging Course
-Varied shots
-Large Tee Pads
-Free to play
-Restrooms
-Pretty clean compared to other local courses
-Large Secluded Course - you don't have to worry about running into picnickers, hikers, or bystanders

-Poison Ivy

Other Thoughts:

I was trying to be honest with the review and need for restrooms and parking and such which we are still waiting on. This is not a boring course.The terrain, trees and water hazards make this course fun to play as well as enjoyable to walk through.

I've seen good/pro players make amazing shots on this course, shots worth remembering.

After playing a lot of local courses this is still my favorite.

Great course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 2, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-- A fun course
-- Difficult, but not impossible
-- Nice view of lake
-- Good tee types
-- Well labeled
-- Great scenery
-- Good for practicing accuracy
-- Warm-up putting area
-- Right at the front of Punderson

Cons:

-- Can get a bit muddy when it rains a lot
-- Poison ivy in the rough
-- Some narrow holes

Other Thoughts:

We just stumbled on this course, and loved it! It's super fun. I think the guys that created the course have been there each time we've gone. The course has improved considerably since it started. It's now much better labeled, and they're putting in another 9 holes. There's a scrimmage each Saturday at 2p to have fun and help raise money. We've also bought a few discs from them to help out. Accuracy is key for this course. Our favorite hole is #5.
