One of the worst school courses I have played 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Course will challeneg even the beginner because many of the holes are much longer than a beginner school course should be.

2) I do like that a high school has a course. I think that is the way to encourage young people to play the sport and that is the future of making the sport mainstream! I just hope how poorly this is designed and laid out that it doesnt discourage people from playing the sport.

3) Course does have a cool first hole with the wetland as a forced carry.

Cons:

1) Course is too long and has too many obstacls that will actully discourage beginners. Practice fields to avoid, nets that stop balls from leaving the field, fences, scoreboard, buildings. TOo many things that I think make this course really bad and will possibly lead to discouraging people from playing the sport.

2) Tees are difficult to find only marked by a concrete block on the ground (the first 4 have blue paint witht he hole # on them but the rest do not.

3) No signs directing you where to go to the next tee. SOme you might think ahhhh they wouldnt put a tee here but there it is.

4) Grass tees are in good shape for grass tees but I always view them as a negative. #1 is even positioned on a large sideslope making a runup difficult and dangerous for your ankles.

5) No garbage or benches, but there are portopotties supplied for the sporting arenas after hole #9.

Other Thoughts:

This is just another poorly designed gym class course. There are obstacles on every hole you would not have on a normal course. Nets, fences, scoreboards, soccer field, football field, a running track, shotput area . . . . that really make this a bad course. It looks like they have some land they could use to make some better holes and help avoid some of those stupid obstacles and lamely laid out holes. I would love to see some sort of redesign using those woods to the north of #3. They already have a cross country or nature trail going through there, they could easily add some in there. I also would like to see them fix the basket that is in bad shape and maybe sand and paint the yellow band on the discatchers that are rusting pretty badly. It looks sortof abandoned because of the gravel and stone piles around #3 basket, #2 basket being broken and multiple baskets being rusty and dingy. SInce all the baskets are in mowed areas anyways it isn't costing them anything to keep it in the ground, maybe someone should contact the school and see if they want to sell the baskets or possibly redesign te course around the property better. Perhaps it was in the ground before all of those fields were in place?

Don't bother. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 1, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

The course has baskets and um grass. Nobody else is going to be playing here, unless possibly a gym class is forced to play by their gym teacher. Otherwise you'll have the whole place to yourself. Might be a good spot if you want a quiet basket for putting practice.

Cons:

Plain and simple folks. This is just another poorly made school course. All nine holes are just wide open field on each shot. I have no idea where I was supposed to tee off so I just made something up on each hole. The poor kids that are taught disc golf on this course are probably going to grow to hate the sport. Sorry kids.
