Heritage Park DGC 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Very good flow from hole to hole
- Small mixture of open field, over rough, and into/ out of wooded shots

- Flat and quick to play layout

Cons:

- Have to buy 10$ parking pass for year (Colerain Township Parks)
- Part of year without weeds makes it a very simple course
- Highly trafficked park
- Easy to lose discs in rough

Other Thoughts:

I give it a 3 cause I don't love it, but I don't hate it. There is gunfire at times which can mess with putting, but it's no different than hearing an airplane go by, or any other typical disturbances. It can get very muddy as it is on a flood plain. The layout is nice, when the rough is there. When there is rough it is a fun/ok course to play as their is a chance to lose a disc making it different from the usual wooded traps, it's tall zebra grass. I like that a couple holes you have to throw into the woods, and a couple out, it does have a nice mixed up design. Some holes are too easy however as you essentially just throw across a field to a basket you can easily see. This course is the perfect definition of a good course. Will it really challenge you? Probably not. It is a good change up from other local courses? Yes.Great for beginners to learn on and Great for people of higher skill who just want to take a break from more serious play and go out and throw an easy round

Beginner Course or a Quick Play 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 24, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Based purely on the holes I'd give this course a 2.5 (Decent/Typical) but I gave it a bump for its good condition.

Par is very generous so is friendly to beginners, but for anyone else you should play this as a par 3 course. The signs, pads, and baskets are in great shape with the signs being informative and pointing the way to the next tee. I didn't have any problem navigating the place on the first go 'round. Course is flat without much water coming into play so you won't lose a disc outside the grasses (see below). Holes are in a good arrangement so you start and end at the same place and holes do not interfere with each other.

Cons:

I am not a big fan of "field courses" and this one falls squarely into that category: lots of wide open holes on flat ground, very little use of the limited woods and water. The hole layouts are fairly unimaginative with mostly left-to-right and straight throws. Bring either your forearm shot or some understable discs for a RHBH thrower. Challenge is added to the course by having large areas of tall grasses (when in season) that you need to curve your disc around. While this does make for a better round it also makes for a more frustrating one since finding your disc can be a royal pain. There are many paved walking paths weaving through the course with plenty of runners and families milling about without an awareness for discs.

Other Thoughts:

No long holes here, will be fairway driver and midrange for intermediate and up players. There is only one set of tee pads and I believe the basket positions do not change.

Nice park, well maintained, plenty of other activities to do here. The ball fields looked great. This would be a great course to have a picnic by the river before or after the round.

Pretty interesting course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 17, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

The cement tees are really nice. I actually like the shape of them because I am use to seeing just a plain Square blocks, this was interesting to play on.

It's a really clean place to play. I was amazed at how clean it was because I only saw one bottle and it was in the woods. Other than that, I didn't see anything on the course.

It's really fun and it does have some challenging holes where if you mess up you might lose a disc.

From what I saw, I didn't really see anyone there playing so you are not rushed at all.

There are vending machines on site right near hole #1. I really liked this because I forgot to bring water so it was great to see the machine.

Cons:

It's a very wide open course. I usually like to play with more variation but a majority of the holes was, throw it around the tall grass to the right or left. Then at I believe hole #13 you start to play in the woods for a couple holes, then back out into the open. So I felt like I played a few holes over and over again.

The tall grass does make it tough to find a disc. I did end up losing a disc but that happens. But that tall grass was pretty brutal.

There was crap ton of hornets in the field from hole #15 - #16. Like at first, I thought they were this locust bug that was flying around at hole #4. But nope they were hornets, so please be careful.

The tee signs were kind'of helpful. However I was lost after hole #1 actually because we were shooting at a different basket. Also we didn't even play #3 because we couldn't find it. Also the signs say Par 4, Par 5 etc. When a majority of the course can easily be done playing par 3.

I'm not sure if I am the only one, but when you looking for your disc in the tall grass, after about 5 minutes of looking, my legs were incredibly itchy. It's not poison Ivy but wow my legs were extremely itchy.

Other Thoughts:

Instead of going to Idlewild, my friend and I went to this course instead because it was closer and we dropped by Cincinnati Skyline Chili for lunch afterwards. Now I've got to say, it would've been more enjoyable if it wasn't so hot outside. I am not used to experiencing playing in 90+ degree weather so it was pretty brutal. But for my experience playing in an out of state Disc course, it was really fun. Next time I would like to check out the many other courses in the Cincinnati area but due to lack of time, this was the only course we could play.

Great first course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 8, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Flat and wide open, not a lot of dense woods or rough means you can find your discs pretty easily. Just pay attention to where it enters the Out of Bounds area as it is tall grass.

+A great place to practice accurate drives, as there are almost no trees except a couple holes on the back 9.

+Very nice tee pads and signage, clearly showing the way to the next hole.

+Plenty of parking and a vending machine right next to the course that sells bottled water for $1 in case you didn't bring your own.

+Just fun open drives, great for beginners who've never thrown a disc before.

Cons:

-Not a lot of variety of holes

-The Out of Bounds can be punishing to newer players, when I took my friend out today I just let him play from it, it isn't too rough.

-There looks to be some great woods between the course and the river, but the course utilizes almost none of it, although there are a couple tee shots out of it through a couple trees, but only on the back 9

-Wide open means it's hot! It's also quite buggy being right next to the great miami river

Other Thoughts:

Is this course worth driving to from out of town? No, but it's worth playing if you're from the greater cincinnati area. I'll probably go back with friends.

This is a great course to play "Who can get closest to the pin" on your tee shots, as there are no trees really and it's all just skill and technique. All the pins except two were reachable for me in one good drive.

One more thing to add is there has been a lot of vegetation added since the photos on here were taken, making the course more challenging than it looks in the photos if you play the Out of Bounds correctly! Challenge them all as par 3's as mentioned before and you'll have a good time.
