Mostly open, mostly straight, and mostly uneventful... A “Plain” course in Plain City

Pros:
Glacier Ridge is one of the seemingly endless metro parks in the Columbus area. Metro Parks in this area are very welcoming to disc golfers, and I hope this spreads up to my area of Northeast Ohio.
+ All the ammentities are very nice. Two sets of concrete tees on most holes with awesome laminated tee signs at the short tees. Long tees have a post with the hole number and distance. Baskets are in great shape for the most part. Massive parking lot with a practice basket by the first tee.
+ Long tees aren't very difficult, but they do provides some added distance for more experienced players. Short tees are great for newbies with many holes under 200'.

Cons:
- The wooded holes consist of #1-3, and #17-18. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, these holes are garbage. Since I'm assuming they couldn't cut down any trees, they just utilized the gravel walking path for the fairways. No real lines, just throwing down a gravel path.
- The mainly wide open holes are #4-16. With the exception of a few cool tosses that utilize isolated mature trees and occasional hills, there's not much to speak of. No shot shaping, just straight and open.
- Rough can be brutal, but it's not to difficult to avoid. Just make sure to watch your shots and keep em' straight.
- Multiple pin positions doesn't affect my rating, but I'll always put it in the cons. Find the best position and stick with it!

Other Thoughts:
Glacier Ridge might be a decent place to bring beginners but I definitely believe it's a little overrated. Bland holes outweigh the few fun holes making for a below average course.

Pros:
nice bathrooms i like the bridge the course would be sweet if a river/creek ran through it a couple of holes make things spicey with some thought and work (few more trees in the open field and cut the rough) it would be a much better course
Cons:
rough areas are dumb if you don't find the fair way chances are you will find ticks, most holes are straight boring
Other Thoughts:
if in the area and with some friends the course is fun if wanting something more go to Marysville or Hoover both are about equidistant from this course
