Fun short course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 6, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

I found Honey Bear to be a very fun course with some interesting eleveation changes and challenging lane shots. It would be a great course to introduce someone to disc golf.

The pro sho in the camp store was awesome and the owner was quite knowledgeable about the different discs.

Cons:

The first 18 holes were all similar and could easily be played with a midrange or putter. The six added in the field were all open shots out in the field to temporary baskets.

Other Thoughts:

I found the folks at Honey Bear to be very friendly and the course to be quite fun. I can't wait to get back down to the area to play again.

Dg History 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

•Designed,and more than likely installed, by the founder of Disc golf "Steady" Ed Headrick. •All Org. 18 wooded holes still in the org. placement. •GREAT use of Topography; Ridge to Ridge (roll-a-way greens), Over,Down,Up Hills. A Dry Creek (when I played it was dry) •Org. Mach 1 baskets, that have been retro-fitted with a inner set of chains. •Multiple flight paths, on the more wooded holes • Trash Cans,Benches and good signage on each hole. •One of the best Pro shops around; they carry Innova, Discraft and many other Co. Bags and straps.

Cons:

•No beer cart! •Little vandalism,drawings and names, on benches and tee signs.

Other Thoughts:

The added holes in the field are in the front of the park and can't be played without a long walk from 18. But is a good add on,being so different from the Org. Layout.

Solid course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is very well maintained with benches, trash cans and signs at nearly every hole. Good concrete t-pads.
Lots of challenging short holes which make for some exciting ace runs.
The course map made the course very easy to navigate.
EXCELLENT pro shop! This place has tons of discs including collectors at good prices.

Cons:

Not alot of variation in the holes. Throw through these trees 150-200 ft and hope for the best kinda shots. Could use some longer drives.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I thought this course was very enjoyable, started to get bored toward the end of the initial 18. The holes all seemed pretty much the same, but definitely a finesse course.
The 2$ to play is worth it for the well taken care of course and map / scorecard and pencil you get.
The extra 6 holes are only really good for working on unobstructed approach shots as they are all wide open zig zagging across a field, would be an excellent place to work on midrange with noone around.
