Pros:

Jefferson is made up of 9 holes. It Has a good mix of distance from short to long. With hole 1 being around 400 to start. There is some fun holes and cool basket settings. Hole 4 has a hanging basket and 6 is a cool ace race hole on top of a post. Some of the holes have "tee pads" a wooden board in ground showing hole number and distance.

Cons:

Not all holes are marked with tee pads need to use course map or udisc. Kinda open flat no real signature type holes. 7/8 play over parking lot and next to the school building woulf more than likely be unplayable during school hours or on busy day there. Nothing really marked out.

Other Thoughts:

This course was slightly redone due to school construction...it is what it is and a school course with decent distance variety but not a destination place. Good to stretch out the arm and legs

Less Than Impressive! 2+ years

Pros:

It's not horrible as school courses go, it's just not real exciting or challenging or pretty or well maintained or any of those others attributes you'd want your friendly neighborhood disc golf to have.

The course is on the property of the Jefferson School District. Truthfully, nothing about the Jefferson School District impressed me. The course starts out behind the swimming pool and the first hole plays across a large field. I never found the first tee but figured later I should have been looking for just a front board somewhere. The # 1 basket is set in a somewhat open area among a row of Pine trees. So there are no tee signs, just the front board, but it has the hole # and distance routered into the board. It doesn't look as though the course has received much play lately. The baskets are Disc Nation models with a number on top.

# 2 is kind of a nice tunnel throw under the tree branches. # 3 is about 300' across the green field of grass. # 4 plays 291' to a basket set near the high school. Then you have to backtrack to get to the # 5 tee board.

# 6 plays out behind the pig pens. (For real.) The whole area back here is very junkie with old poles with concrete bases, the pig pen, piles of construction debris and the back of the auto shop with tons of junked vehicles, etc. There is a construction fence here preventing you from getting to the last three holes. This necessitates a long walk around the high school. #'s 8 and 9 finish near the girl's softball field and the right field foul pole on the boy's baseball field.

Cons:

The construction fence prevents you from the playing the course as it was intended.

Everywhere you go around here is junkie and showing it's age. Piles of debris, old abandoned tennis courts, pig pens, etc. The high school is somewhere between run down and junkie. Hopefully, a new school is being built in it's place.

Board tee pads are difficult to locate.

Other Thoughts:

Playable but just barely hanging on is what this course is. I don't think it's getting much use. It's a little long for a high school course and would be quite a walk. Right now, the construction fence has split the course and I don't see anyone actually trying to complete it, other than some crazy course bagger!

No longer kinda boring! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 16, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- you'll likely have the course to yourself
- nice baskets with hole #'s
- basket placement has improved so much- 3 elevated/raised baskets!
- hard to lose a disc
- nice grass fields
- the sign at parking lot has a course map
-course finishes relatively close to hole 1

Cons:

- no cement tee pads
- guessing it's unplayable when school and outdoor sports are in session
- lack of signage- one needs to look at udisc map for the tee pad locations
- tee pads locations are marked by old wooden boards in the ground and difficult to see

Other Thoughts:

I enjoyed Jefferson, but the lack of trees and diversity around the schools make for a somewhat bla round of 9.
Good course for beginners and if they put in some better tee pads and signage I might bump the rating up an entire disc.
There is also a nice little community park and swimming pool with a playground and picnic tables by the parking lot.

* UPDATE AS OF JUNE 1, 2021:
Great changes have been made to Jefferson!! To start, hole one's tee location is now painted with a while stripe on the basketball court. It's not great by any means, but at least one knows where to throw from if they look at the udisc map. Once you make it to hole 4 the fun begins with a hanging basket in the tree. My kids wanted to put at it for 10 minutes. After that, hole 6 now features one of the most raised baskets this side of the Mississippi... totally makes up for how dull the tee shot is. Hole 7 has another elevated basket on a pile of dirt. Then you get to hole 8 which lets you throw off a different pile of dirt. While nothing is fancy, it sure adds a fun element to the round. Another good addition is the adding of holes 11 and 12. These holes are not great, and I didn't see any tee pad markers for 12, but what they do is loop you back to near the start, which I certainly appreciate.
If they could get some concrete tee pads and signs, I'd give this more of a 3.25, but now it's more like a 2.75.
I can hardly believe I'm about to say this, but if you're in the area, I actually recommend a quick stop at Jefferson.
