Hendershot's Haven is not meant for the average disc golfer. Being situated in green pastures and tight woods, it allows for open bombers (with accuracy) as well as tight technical shots. With hazard/OB on nearly every hole consistency and accuracy are crucial for having a great round out here. I'll start with my favorite holes: Hole 2: plays as an elevation drop of around 30-40ft with a double mando through some huge trees. At 450+ feet birdies are rare on this hole. However, a safely placed mid through the mando allows for a simple up shot and an easy par. This course is simply a huge game of risk/reward. Hole 5: this par 4 shoots just over 400ft flat. There are 2 trees nearly 70-100ft in front of the tee with a low ceiling and righty back hand gap right of both trees. Placement and accuracy yet again holds key as OB lies outside the fairway. Once you reach the basket, it is elevated on a stack of railroad ties filled in with dirt. (In my opinion one of the most picturesque places on the course) Hole 7-8: I'm placing these two together for the shear fact these are such a score separator. From open pasture land these holes bring in the tight woods. From seeing this course when it was 6 holes to now. The woods section was the only piece I felt was missing from this course. Now that box is checked in my book. (Holes 10 and 11 now play through some woods as well.) Hole 12: with a 20ft wide creek to the right of the fairway it's safe to say you don't want to miss your line on this hole. At around 300ft it is a getable ace, however it has not been hit yet. Trees in the fairway while on the outskirts of the pasture land means shot placement is key. I'll skip to hole 18 from here not that the holes in between aren't mentionable however I was able to witness Evan's first ace on his own course on a casual round amongst friends. Pretty sick to watch 1 of 10 aces hit out here!

This course isn't for everybody. This course is meant to be difficult. It is meant to be a Gold level course! Par is a 935 rated round to give a reference. This course is meant to frustrate you and mentally test your game just as much as the physical. You'll see what I mean when you try it out!
