Link style course thats wide open. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Disc course is in a very wide-open, beautiful park with jogging trails, ball fields, and a playground. None of these other amentities interfere with disc play as both are separated enough to be a non-issue. Course has some really nice holes and was the most open course I've ever played. Had a real fun round here. I would call this a link-style disc golf course with tight fairways & unforgiving rough.

Cons:

This course is kind of hard to follow. There are signs but not enough in the right places to make for good flow. Took a couple wrong turns but eventually found our way. There are groundhogs EVERYWHERE which means there are groundhog holes EVERYWHERE! Be wary and watch your footing. This course could use some more weedeating done on some paths near some tee boxes and around some of the baskets. Rubber mats have weeds growing through mat holes but the bigger problem is most tee pads aren't level. Slippery when wet. Make sure to check out how much wind will be blowing if your going to play here. Since there are only 4-5 wooded holes, there isn't much to stop the wind. Very similar to the wind conditions @ Slippery Rock University. The wind surely didn't help my throwing but if you're going to play Hunter Farm you better be able to hit tight fairways. The rough is anywhere from knee high to chest-high. I didn't lose any discs in the rough but I almost did on several occasions. On hole #14 and #15 there is poison ivy from tee pad the entire way up the mowed fairway to the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

This course is unlike any course I've played before being so wide open but so unforgiving with its super tight fairways and ever-blowing wind. It's wide open like Buhl Park but more wide open fields and not so much open-style city park setting. Maybe the park wants wide open fields on the disc golf fairways but with some trees planted in the right places this course could still be wide open but with trees protecting baskets. If this course would have a little more weed trimming done, had more directional signs put up, had the poison-ivy taken care of on the fairways, and had cement tee pads put in, I could see the pro's maybe playing here some day.

Fun new course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

There is a good mix of holes, a fair amount of par fours and fives. Three tee pads and three pin locations. The course loops around after 9 and 18 so there is no walk. Fairways were cut and the rough wasn't substantially high. Innova Discatchers are pretty nice. Good condition as of now. Course design was a great plus with what was there. Alot of openness to work with .

Cons:

Some of the tee pads were covered in grass and weeds but nothing intolerable. The bridges to get over the little creeks are subpar. Just wood planks. Course navigation was a little tough, not alot of signs. OB could've been marked a little bit better. There were alot of holes that were just wide open. There is nobody to blame for this because they had to work with what they had, but it was just a bit monotonous. Some of the fairways were carved out to make a little bit more shot shaping. There is a sewage treatment plant on sight that smells a little funky.

Other Thoughts:

Being a newer course it obviously has some work to do. I can't wait till the course gets the attention it deserves. The course has a great group of people working on it, so I know it will do just fine.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 12, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

The length of the course made for a nice challenge. Mix of pars left me with a chance to score on most of the holes. The area is pretty peaceful and has minimal issues with locals on the trails.

At this point, the freshly mowed fairways go a long way from what I imagine this place looked like before. The rough was still pretty rough but if you are hitting your shots you will definitely be rewarded.

Cons:

Being a young course, most of the issues are ones that I think will be fixed up with time and a little TLC. The rubber grid tees are nice but could use flattened and cleaned of weeds. Some of the tee shots still had unusual site lines that made ripping that drive more mental than physical.

Other Thoughts:

Not knowing the course, the walk outs from hole to hole were occasionally tricky. I'm sure these things will come with time as the course matures and more people are playing.

The regular mowing will definitely play a big role in how this course develops, but it has a lot of great qualities that can be built upon.

Certainly a great improvement and worth a stop when nearby!
