Boring Bomber Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 4, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course has plenty of parking and very few non disc golfers near the course . You may have to only hold up a time or 2 for people on bikes or an occasional jogger using the park's cement path that runs parallel to a few of holes , maybe 5,12,13 & 16 . There is plenty of land available for this course , mostly wide open . If you love bomber holes , you will get more than your fair share . There is a nice kiosk at the parking lot , pretty decent Discatcher Baskets , Rubber mats , with 3 sets of tees , Gold , Blue and White . A few of the Gold ( longest ) tee pads will give you a little different look at the basket . The signage id good on the course , which is helpful , because you can't always figure out where the tee pads are . More on that in my cons . You may want to take a picture of the map at the kiosk , or better yet , bring the map with you to save time . Course design is fair . a couple of interesting pin placements .

Cons:

Buckle in for the cons . #1 . The grass was so high when I played it , that I had to look around a bit for some of my fairway throws . A big downer . #2. The course holds water . I have waterproof hiking shoes , and if my throw just went a little off the fairway ( but still in the wide open ) the water went up over my shoes . #3 This is a sore point for me . If not for the good signage , I might still be looking for some of these pads . When you have the rubber milk carton tee pads , you might want to put something under them , or spray gas killer under them . Grass was growing through a large majority of the tee boxes , making it look like " The Course That Time Forgot " . No amenities : no benches ( okay since I never saw another person playing the whole time ) , no trash cans , Carry out what you carry in , no water fountains . #4 repetitive holes on a lot of the course , the only difference might be a tree or two , or the length of the hole . Wind will be a factor up there , but I didn't list it in my complaints because many long bomber courses in wide open parks will have it come into play .

Other Thoughts:

I came over for a round after playing Moraine and Slipper Rock , and expected more from a course that was rated 3.15 on DG Review . I left damp and disappointed . Unless the upkeep on the course is taken seriously and a couple of items tweaked , very few people will try this course . It is a shame , because it can be coupled with Grove City just a couple of miles away . No signature holes here .Too many good courses close by . My recommendation : Leave This One Alone

Painful and Forgetable 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Hunter Farm is a LONG course that plays through a HUGE piece of property in Grove City.

Lots of opportunities for the cannon arms to show their stuff. Many long, open holes.

Tee signs are nice. There are also directional signs everywhere so it's pretty easy to navigate around.

Newer DISCatcher baskets. There is also a practice basket next to the parking lot.

Maintained nicely for the most part. Fairways are cut down and well defined.



Cons:

In all honesty, Hunter Farm just wasn't really fun. Gets repetitive, just long throw after long throw without a whole lot of obstacles. Gotta mix things up a little bit.

Tee pads are non existent. Grass has grown through them on most holes.

The rough is terrible. This seems to be a windy area, if the wind takes the disc, then kiss it goodbye. Wetlands, head high weeds, etc.

Little change in elevation.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, I didn't have much fun here. Too many long, boring holes plus the endless hunt for lost discs. Kind of ruined my mood to start my PA trip.

Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- 3 tees and pins on each hole
- Balance of long and short holes (most are Par 4)
- Brand new DISCatchers

Cons:

- Tee pads are rubber mats that have holes in them. The problem is grasses growing through them.
- Long grass provides problems if fairways are missed.
-this has been cut back and should now be well kept

Other Thoughts:

The best thing going for this course is the design of it. It makes great use of the land, in my opinion. Generally an open course that will test your ability to gauge your upshot. A few wooded holes provide the "shotmaker" a leg up on the distance thrower. The things holding the course back from being top notch: 1) Continued maintenance of the fairways and 2) different teepads (either solid rubber teepads or the always reliable concrete.)

Improved 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 30, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Improved in the last 3 months. This course has a lot of potential.

Cons:

Weeds growing up through tee pads and uneven.
You have to search to find your way around. Needs more markers to direction of next tee.
Keep an eye out, as not to step in a Ground Hog hole, there are a lot of them.

Other Thoughts:

This could be a very nice course if more improvements are made. Time will tell to see if it will be regularly mowed next season. It was not this year.
