Played the course:once
Pros:
- Innova Discatcher baskets are in good shape
- mowed grounds
- beginner friendly course, due to its easy and open layout
- rubber tees (on most holes)
- ample parking
- if you have a map and/or know the course well, you can play this one in less than 30 minutes
- the elevation of the rolling hills in the course is used well, giving a few uphill and downhill shots
- beginner friendly course because of its distances and relatively easy structure
- Ace opportunities are abundant for the experienced player, which adds some fun

Cons:
- This course is unplayable during school hours, which limits the window to play this course
- Other than the first sign (which simply shows a map of the course), there is absolutely no signage at all whatsoever. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAP OR A PICTURE OF THE SIGN IN ORDER TO PLAY THIS COURSE! Navigation was horrible. I am happy I brought along a map for this course because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to, which I think is ridiculous. Even with the map, there were times when I got confused and could not find the next tee, due to the rubber tees having lots of grass around them, which made them hard to see. This course is super hard to navigate.
- Neither holes 2 or 3 have tees at all, and the flags that were supposed to mark the tees have disappeared. I had to simply guess where the tees were.
- This course is pretty boring. All of the holes are wide open and with the exception of one hole, are straight shots to the basket.
- The walk from hole 9's basket back to the car/ the first tee was too long IMO
- The course runs along a barb wire fence that splits the school's campus and a farm. Holes 1 and 2 especially run right next to it. Even the slightest bad throw to the right will make you lose your disc to the cows. This is unfortunate.
- The course also runs along backyards of some of the houses. One of the tee pads is even less than 25 feet away from a backdoor with no fence splitting the house from the course. Be sure to respect their property and don't throw your disc over there.
- no bathrooms, benches, nor trash cans
- This course is somewhat boring due to the lack of variety from hole to hole.
- The rubber tees are a little too short

Other Thoughts:
I really don't like ranking a course a 1.5/5, but the bottom line is that this course lacks variety, is extremely hard to navigate, and just has too many negatives that shy this course away from being any good at all. However, the course does have some good rolling hills and good baskets, but other than that this course isn't very good. If you are a beginner or a player with a time constant, this is a good course to play. If you are looking for a quality course that you will really enjoy playing, I would advise you to look elsewhere.
