This course was designed and built to teach students how to play the game. With that in mind, it is amazing.
It is safe and the risk of hitting cars and buildings is minimal. You will also not lose any discs.
Students will get everything they need to learn the game. There are doglegs, hillside putts, blind cages, tunnels, ceilings, and varying pars to help teach scoring. I also love how some tee shots will make students consider using a forehand vs. backhand.
The better students will come close to par but unlikely to be under. Experienced players will beat par but still be entertained.
One of the best things is the "loaner" discs at the #1 tee.
Well done. Hudson High School students are very fortunate.

1) Very beginner friendly. Only one hole over 300 feet, no chance of lost discs, minimal technicality. This would be a great place to bring young children, specifically, just learning the game before going to a 'proper' course.

2) Brand new Discatchers, catch great. Tee signs are detailed and have all the needed information; par, distance, accurate hole illustration.

3) Despite the very short length and very minimal foliage, there are some fun shots around the course. Hole 2 is a short little pitch shot that plays down a faux tunnel with the fence on the right. Hole 3 is completely blind off the tee due to the hillside so can provide some challenge until you memorize the location of the pin. Hole 5 is a low ceiling tee shot that plays up hill and probably takes the most commitment of any shot on the course...though the fence you have to throw over is really terrible. Then Hole 7 tees off from the most wooded area on the course has routes for both LHBH and RHBH to attack the pin. Both routes, like hole 5, can get you into a small amount of trouble if you don't commit to the shot, though you're almost never going to find yourself in a spot where saving 3 is even remotely hard if you can throw at least 200ft.

4) Given the generally 'meh' land the course is on, there was about as much done as probably is possible. It was definitely a much better time than I expected when getting out of the car. The little bit of tree cover and the slight elevation is used well. A couple halfway tight tee shots (mentioned above) force some commitment to your drives and the tricky hillside basket on hole 3 can certainly get you into trouble if you are off a bit on your putting.

1) The course is very cramped. Many holes and baskets are very close to each other and can offer some confusion first time through as to which basket you are actually throwing to. Specifically, hole 4 is the one I had trouble with. Accidentally throwing to the wrong pin my first time around. If there was ever more than a couple people on the course there is definitely a high potential for people to get hit on any shots off target.

2) The tee pads aren't necessarily bad, but rather unorthodox. They are rubber mats with holes in them and essentially just amount to natural tees with erosion control pads put over them. They get the job done fine, though, and I'd imagine they do better than standard rubber pads when wet.

3) Weird design quirks, namely the fence. Holes 3 the fence isn't really in play unless you shank it real good, but it's certainly intimidating. Hole 5 the fence is very much in play due to the low ceiling off the tee. Hole 1 has probably the absolute worst basket placement I've ever seen right next to the fence, the cage is almost literally touching the fence. Anything that sails over/skips off the top of the basket and goes over the fence will leave you with an essentially impossible comebacker for anything further out than a drop in. The tee sign on hole 4 is also in the worst place imaginable for left handed players, very close to the front left corner of the pad. I early released every single shot off this tee out of fear of smacking my hand on the tee sign.

4) Extremely short, but again they did about all they could. There is a bit more potential for something nicer if they spread the course around the school grounds, but that would definitely lead to very troublesome navigation and make a group of school children playing a full 9 holes during a period of gym class impossible which kind of defeats the whole point of the school having a course in the first place.

5) Very repetitive. Every hole plays favorably for RHBH throws, even the low ceiling on 5 can be mostly avoided with a well placed RHBH hyzer. As a lefty the forced sidearms and low ceiling provides some interest but it's still very samey all around the course. Hole 7 is the only hole that maybe slightly favors the LHBH shot as the line is more direct to the pin, but the gap is much tighter off the tee than the RHBH line.

6) Even considering that this is intended to be a beginner's course, the pars seem way too generous. Anyone beyond an absolute beginner could play all par 3 and probably have a good chance of shooting even or better. But that's hardly a con, as you can always set your own personal pars, more so just an observation.

Overall, an okay course for beginners but not much else. If the issues with the fence interfering with design were fixed I'd maybe up the score to a 1.5, but never anything more. If maintenance falls off a cliff, a decrease to a 0.5 isn't out of the question but it would take a lot of neglect to get to that point. There is no potential to fundamentally improve the course due to the land it's on, but the design quirks can definitely be worked around if the school chose to. If you live in Hudson, this could make a nice practice area when you don't have time to drive into the city or up to Somerset for a full size course but nothing much more than that unless you have a small child. Definitely don't drive out of your way to play here. Locals looking for something very close to home and serious course baggers are the only ones I'd recommend playing here.

Update: Just chiming back in to say I have played the course recently and it's still the same and has not magically turned into the best course imaginable.
