+ Beautiful park setting, the course plays almost entirely in deep woods. The course has been around a long time, so the fairways are beat in. Playing in early April, the rough was always manageable


+ A lot of pretty holes: looking down well-defined fairways bordered by tall pines, the "greens" are often carpeted with pine needles

- 25 year old Mach 2 baskets are hard to spot in the woods


- A couple of doglegs that make almost complete u-turns. One "reward" for such poor layout is a par of 4 for a hole that's under 300'


- Multiple basket positions on some holes... but they're not pictured on the tee sign. I noticed after the fact that the posts at tees with multiple positions had hose clamps around them indicating the basket position (very faded "A" or "B" painted on the post) - but even if I had noticed, it wouldn't have been much help, since the alternate position isn't on the map


- Speaking of tee signs, the maps are aerial photographs of the course, with tee positions and baskets superimposed along with a line connecting them, giving a general indication of the hole's shape. This kind of map isn't very useful on a wooded course because it's just looking down at the canopy of leaves. Adding to the difficulty, the photos were on different axes: sometimes the tee was at the bottom, sometimes it was at the side, and sometimes at the top, or in a corner

~ The disc golf is off by itself in a very large State park


~ Pars are soft and scoring is pretty easy, especially if you play it several times and learn what to throw


~ The Red tee positions are great for newbies or families



COURSE AMENITIES:
Old rusting baskets, tees are mostly gravel or dirt, signage is just adequate. White arrows hanging on baskets to indicate the next hole. Scattered benches courtesy of the Boy Scouts. Two loops ending at the parking lot.




RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS:
The DGCR rating average of 3.5 is quite high when compared to my experience. I think it's the case of older ratings when the course was new. It's not a bad course - it's "decent" - but it hasn't aged particularly well. OK for a bagging stop, but if time is a concern, head farther South to Henlopen or Trap Pond for better disc golf

Signs at each hole are generally good.
Very few holes have obvious obstacles in the middle of the fairway to get in your way.
Multiple tees for different lengths.
Area seems to generally be well-kept.

The biggest issue, and the reason for the title, is the insane demand for accuracy on these holes. Most of the holes are lined with incredibly thick brush on both sides. If you go more than a yard off the fairway, there's a decent chance you'll lose your disc. And if you find your disc, good luck trying for any sort of decent recovery.
The tee pads are very rough. They consist of fine gravel, which is easy to slip on. Some are even in low spots which mean they become wet easily.
The back 9 is INCREDIBLY tight. Tight enough that multiple holes effectively share fairways with each other. I once was playing, walking to recover a disc, and almost got hit by another party because the fairways were directly alongside each other with no trees for division. This problem continues because the baskets are NOT easily marked. From distance, they look the same. So, if you're in the middle of the wooded area without signs or UDisc to assist, you might lose track of which basket you are supposed to be approaching.

This course is sort of lucky that it is the only field within relative ease of drive. There is a fee for entry unless you have a state pass. If you have a state pass, it's a fine course to try, but I wouldn't spend the money to play there. And honestly, even with a pass, I only ever play here if it's convenient for travel.
