A surprising amount of elevation and pretty well designed lines of flight await you at this elementary school course. It stands in sharp contrast to its local peers in having shots requiring control, a little distance, and obstacles to negotiate. It felt to me like a pretty solid recreational to intermediate par three layout. If you follow the map I re-created from UDisc, you will find yellow paint marking the tees on seven spots on the paved sidewalks, such that the footage added here is pretty accurate. Tee from the sidewalk just past the handrails up at the playground for hole 6, and throw from an (unmarked), level space near the seventh basket, aiming to just left of the trees near the apartments north of you, where the eighth basket rests just blind in a hollow about 300' away, but before the sidewalk.

The DisCatcher baskets may be repurposed, as they do show some rust, but are generally visible and catch well. Following the course layout, you have downslope shots on 1,2,(3), 4!,&6. I really enjoyed the latter two, while the uphill holes 5 and 9 made me really reach back for a little extra. This may be a bit too much course challenge for elementary school kiddos, but will introduce them to a healthy level of variety, …and prepare them for some of the 'real' courses in the Lexington area.

Each of the first five holes were laid out in such a way that beginners will struggle with safe, controlled shots as they pass over or along sometimes busy roadways or driveways. They are likely deucable for intermediate skill sets and above, but the assumption is the course wasn't targeted (initially) for that skill level (was it?).

Obviously, you don't play a school course when classes are in session, but the summer grass maintenance is less of a priority, so the calf-high growth can hide a disc from view. And just now, they're setting up mulch piles to freshen the playgrounds, so the tee off from the sixth sidewalk is a little cramped.

This is one time I'm really glad that there was a UDisc trailblazer out there, because their map and info was really useful in navigating the course and discovering there actually seemed to be marked tees on all but one hole.

Ps: it turns out James Lane Allen was a late 19th century novelist who wrote in the vernacular of his native Kentucky…
