Unexpectedly bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 15, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The layout of the course is great. There is an overall spread of easy to hard holes. It is a very technical course set out away from the typical busy city courses. Concrete tee pads are on most of the holes with only two left that have an outdoor carpet tee pad. Innova Discatcher baskets are still on every hole. It is still a private course so it is not very busy.

Cons:

Most of the holes have not been maintained. Most of the signs showing where the next tee is located have fallen down so unless you know the course, it can be challenging to find the next tee box. There are signs at every tee showing the hole layout which is helpful. The tee pads are becoming overgrown and covered with dirt and moss with some of them beginning to break due to lack of maintenance. The baskets are also becoming hard to see because mold is growing over the yellow on the basket making most of them hard to see. Fairways are not very open anymore due to no upkeep being done on them. Tree limbs are encroaching on the fairways and some baskets. Grass/weeds are growing about knee level off the main pathway. So, unless you can throw so your disc lands on the pathway, you will be in tall grass/weeds. You must call for permission to play and it is not available on Saturdays or when groups are at the camp. It is also not available when summer camp is going on beginning the end of May/beginning of June through the end of July/beginning of August. They have allowed horses to be ridden on the course without picking up the manure which makes it not only stink, but the stuff might also get on your disc...very nasty!

Other Thoughts:

I understand there have been tournaments held here in the past but there has been a change in management at the camp in the past couple years and the new management does not maintain the course much. I would not recommend this course to anyone to play a tournament at given the current state. It is playable, however, I would recommend wearing pants because chiggers and poison ivy are all over the place. If the course is at least mowed and a weed eater is used to clear the grass/weeds, shorts might be able to be worn. Ticks are also quite rampant this year so bug spray would also be highly recommended. We can hope that course maintenance will occur over the next couple months so it can be playable again after their summer camp season is over. I have raised my rating just a little bit because some more maintenance has been done. With just a little bit more maintenance, this could be a great course again. I guess we will see if the new management will start taking care of the course the way it used to be.

September 12, 2021 - After seeing the last review basically slamming my review I feel the need to set this straight. These reviews are meant not only for players to see but also the course managers to see. I have played this course probably double the amount of times as this last reviewer. This course was built for the beginning to intermediate player but with a challenging aspect to make it intriguing for the more advanced players. Obviously, this last reviewer likes playing on courses that have tree limbs blocking approaches to the basket and fairways being blocked by other tree limbs. I would suggest talking to the people who put the course in, which I have on numerous occasions, and see what they think of it now. To state it nicely, they won't even come out and play the course now because of how unkept it is!!! There is someone I spoke with who is going to put some time cleaning up the course and once this happens, I will provide another update!
