Easy to find, plenty of parking, signage is excellent and so the navigation from hole to hole is a breeze. Course has a good mix of wood holes and open shots to air it out. Everything was well maintained. In other words, it is a fun course to play.

Other reviews have noted cons that I'll leave out (like the walk from 18 back to your car). To me the biggest con is there is nothing "special" here. Everything is good, it is fun to play, but (aside from the signage) there is nothing to rave about. Even holes that try to introduce some novelty (like a throw over the creek) aren't that special to play. (note: I'm an amateur player with "average" distance and nothing here was out of my range for a par 3). The space it big enough that it could have some longer holes with pins tucked behind trees (or hanging from the limb of a tree). Some holes could be reworked so that they dogleg BOTH left and right and present a real challenge.

I'll continue to play this course because it is a short drive and it is fun to play. But, when I picture exciting holes there is nothing here that will stand out.

Great 18 hole layout in a beautiful park located in the heart of Downingtown. All 18 holes have concrete tee pads, signs at each tee, and arrows on the basket pointing you toward the next tee. The course winds along the East Branch of the Brandywine River, and features smaller tributaries that come in direct play on at least 3 holes if you're tight, and potentially many more with erratic throws. 5 short but tight, holes play through the woods, while the majority of holes are relatively open with strategic trees lining the fairways, complimented by a couple wide-open, grassy field shots. This course demands a nice variety of shots, and allows for some creativity in shot selection. While most holes have a fair birdie bid, I've had my share of double and triple bogeys getting off the fairway in the woods, or finding water/OB hazards. It would be totally appropriate for beginners, as it's pretty straight forward with not too much hazard in direct play (with the exception of #14) and relatively short holes, a great course for intermediate players to improve their skills, provides an opportunity for advanced players to score well and have some fun ace runs, but I bet the pros would light it up. I think it's fantastic use of a limited space, and a lovely walk in the park among beautiful old growth trees, the picturesque Brandywine River and bald eagles, blues herons, white tail deer and beaver are common sightings as residents of this lovely town park.

There's a bit of a walk (just shy of a 1/2 mi.-10 min.+/-) from #18 basket back to #1/parking lot. With it's proximity to the river, it can be pretty muddy after some rain, but the concrete tee pads are a huge improvement regarding this issue. With the exception of hole #14, it's a totally flat course. The course winds along a walking/bike path, and you might need to wait for the occasional wandering pedestrian who doesn't realize they're in the middle of a disc golf course, but most of the time it's a non-issue.

It's a young course with a good club backing it, and I believe it has has no place to go but up, as it gets played in and the "rough" gets thinned out a bit. Not sure if it's in the works, but it would be interesting to see this course develop with some alternate tees and pin placements in the future as is the trend with courses as they age. If you get hungry or thirsty during your round, there's several fine establishments within minutes of the course, many of which are course sponsors. It fills a niche of a high concentration of players, in a relatively low concentration of courses, and is easily accessible from the 30 by-pass.

Love the layout of open to wooded holes. Challenges you to use everything you have. Which in my eyes, makes you a better disc golfer. Love the toss over the small stream on 14 next to the bridge. I totally dig the tight lines in the wooded area.

Hole 10 has a very narrow hole, almost impossible to hit. The mud and water on hole 17 right after the tee can be a pain in the butt. Course in the woods from holes 3-7 could use some maintenance. The killer is if you parked at the library by hole 1. You have a LONG walk back to your car. Signage is tough to follow. There is arrows on the baskets but not always helpful.

I am glad I played this course twice in a row, I am one for a challenge and this course delivered. I highly recommend a grabber if you go in the water. You also have Victory brewing 4 minutes away. To grab grub and a drink. I will be back again in the winter months to play it again when the foliage isn't in full bloom.

The course is gorgeous. Most of it runs alongside a very scenic river, and you get to cross over and under a number of bridges as you play.
Signage is excellent, and seems upgraded since previous reviews. Every tee has a sign, every basket has a next tee directional arrow, and there's a number of extra signs to keep you going between holes.
Conditions are very good. The grass is thick and well mowed and the fairways in the woods are clear. Some parts of the wooded areas could use a little thinning, and 17 seems like it can get muddy, but it's very comfortable to play.

All of the tee pads are just dirt, without a clear indication of the edge of the tee. Concrete tee pads would be a great upgrade, worth at least half a star.
Holes 12-16 play along a paved multi-use path that sees a reasonable amount of traffic, so you may need to wait for other park users to clear out before you can take your shot.
The walk from 18 back to the start is a long one, but at least it's pretty.

The course is flat and doesn't have any especially long holes. There's definitely some fun holes, particularly in the thicker woods and throwing over the river, but don't expect anything too challenging.
If you're local or in the area for a few days for work (like I was), it's definitely a good evening. It's just not exactly a destination course.
On a Tuesday evening after work, I saw the course start to fill up with small groups, including three dogs (two of them on leash). There's also a lot of other park users, so beware of crowds.
Many of the holes play right along the river, but there's always a line you can take that doesn't risk your disc. 14 is the only one that plays across it, and you can definitely lose a nice Valkyrie if you get too creative, like a certain reviewer.

Update 07/11/19: Played again a couple of days ago and they've added gorgeous concrete pads to 1 and 11. 2 has a form and a pallet of concrete, and every other hole has the future tee pad marked out in paint. I don't know how long it'll take them to finish, but they're clearly working on it.
This time of year, the mosquitoes on 3-7 and 17 are really, really bad, so bring bug spray. Also, watch out for the guy I saw setting up a badminton net in the middle of 11 even though there was plenty of open space not part of the course available.

Great layout.
Mixed variety.
Plenty of chances to use all your throws.
In town close to food and drink.
Along a creek and quite scenic.

Lack of signage and teepads. That's it. And the course is only about a month old or so. Expect great things to come!
