Joy Lutheran Church Disc Golf Course is located behind the church all on what look like a piece of the back yard .I guess bathrooms are a possibility if the church is open during your play here . There is enough parking , and hole #1 is about 100' to the right of what looks like a wood fenced in dumpster .
The Equipment : All of the tee pads are natural , many uneven . There is only a post with a number on it for signage .( there is a little dedication to what looks like a parish , or former parish member , which was nice ) . The baskets are listed as Instep , but are of the most brittle kind . The whole basket shook every time my putt went in . I used my Blowfly putter so my hard putter wouldn't break it .
The landscape . The church grounds were mowed along with all of the fairways . There is what looks like a little swamp that you have to throw over a little part of on #1 . There is little elevation here . Maybe a small grade or 2 . You will have to throw over or around some small trees or high foliage when you play . The holes play under 200' , so you will be using a putter or short midrange for control of the tight fairways . The rough is among some of the heaviest I have seen . I hooked one into it only about 3 feet in and it took me a while before digging it out . Keep everything low and flat .
The highlights : finding my disc that I threw into 3' of rough .
Time : minus looking for my disc , it took me about 15 minutes to complete . It is a fast play behind a nice church .Don't worry . They will be NO wait time for the tee pads . You will feel like you own this course ( it is peaceful here )

#1 Disc Risk . Disc risk here is off the charts high . The type of person that might play here is a local or church member , of which most aren't skilled to keep a low flat trajectory on their first shot . If you throw your drive 8-10' into the rough , your disc will be a souvenir for the groundskeeper some time in December . The same might be said for shorter but still lethal rough in other areas . Example . Joey throws hole #1 . It is a slight downhill grade , 155' , with a part of the swampy moat to throw over , with high weeds right at the waters edge , The basket is on a strip of a path behind this . Behind the path and the basket is very heavy rough . Joey has to get his disc high enough to beat the weeds so they don't bat his putter or midrange into the swamp , but soft enough to keep his drive from an overthrow into the Forest Of No Return . Joey picks his poison : Death By drowning disc or death by rough . There should be a Kllenex dispenser on #1's post for poor Joey .
#2 Navigation . Most of these posts are visible from the previous baskets . Print a map to be sure . I had trouble finding the #8 post .
Challenge : This should be deuce city for everyone . I would say ace run , but I don't know if the baskets will hold a hard putter drive .
Bring bug spray . The mosquito will bite the daylights out of you on your round .

All of my criticisms aside , I think that it is great that the church promotes disc golf . It can give the adult members time to talk and bond , and can give the kids some spending money by digging into the rough and selling found discs back to the locals . This is the kind of course that asks questions , like what kind of game is this called ? Why is everyone playing hide and seek in the bushes ? and Why is Joey crying again ? Just Kidding . Thank you , Pastor Mark Borgetti for allowing me to play your disc golf course . You have a beautiful church .
