-Multiple tee pads per hole.
-Multiple pin positions per hole.
-Park well maintained.
-Helpful park staff at gatehouse where you can get a course map.
-Long to long layout offers some real length on several holes.
-You need to be able to throw accurately and shape shots.

-Navigation for first time players.
-Course map at gatehouse.
-Multiple pin positions per hole with differing types of baskets.
-No signature "Wow" hole.
-Approaches to long pin position.
-If it's been rainy, there will be water and mud on several holes.
-Non disc golf park goers may impact play on several holes.

-Hole 5 blah.

Point of reference-I've played the course once, in the Long to Long layout. When I was playing tournaments I was advanced am.

The Pros:
-Tee pads are great. At least 2 per hole are cement. The long tees definitely require a different disc and/or line than the middle tees. Lines from the long tee are fair and at times challenging.
-You have multiple basket placements per hole.
-There is real length on the long layout. No pitch and putt.
-You have to be able to throw accurately.
-You need hyzer, anhyzer and some form of throw that allows you to scramble. Thumber, tomahawk, forehand, roller, you'll need one or more of these to play the longs.


Cons:
-A first timer to the course will find navigation a little frustrating. Suggest playing with a local if possible.
-Long baskets were Discatchers. Nice. Short were like Mach 3 or 5's maybe? Would be nice to see Discatchers all around and painted different colors to aid in navigation/play for those that aren't regulars.
-The course map given at the gatehouse can be improved. I had to hunt for the next hole a couple times.
-Hole 5 is just a decent drive to just one wide open pin choice. There's brush 25 yards or so past the basket. Would be nice to see a 40' diameter green carved out of that brush for a 2nd pin position to demand a skillful upshot or offer big arms a risk/ reward drive.
-BIGGEST BEEF: 2nd/approach shots in the woods to the long pins. I expect to have to be lucky a couple times a round to get a decent birdie look. I expect skill to be required to get a decent birdie look. I expect a bad break or two every round. Holes 7-17 are all in the woods. To get a circle one look after your drive, on more of those holes than not, you'll have to be both skilled AND lucky. It gets tedious. Conservatively, I'd say a full third of the smaller diameter saplings/trees need to go. Even with this amount of scupting, you'ld still need to be good to get a putt at a long basket inside 25' on these holes.

All this said, this is a nice property and the bones for a really fine course are ready and waiting. I know the rating seems low, but it's still at the level of a "Good" score. I would not say it's a very good or excellent course yet. It definitely could be! I would play here again, but only on a weekday when it was free and pedestrians weren't as present. I also would not pay to play to the long pins until fairways were cleaned up to lessen the amount of "poke and hope". Just not fun. Long tees to short pins on weekdays are the way I'll go with Kinder in the meantime.

Lovely farm setting even if the course itself is rather cramped. Bad foot and all, I enjoyed traipsing through the farm to get to the course.

Course hardware (tees, baskets) seem to be in overall good shape. Three tees and two baskets (every hole? Not sure) offers fun and reasonable challenge for every level of player.

There are some good holes here. I think the best are holes 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14...

However, many are too cramped upon themselves or not tremendously different from the hole before it.

There is no tee sign at no. 3 which has its pads close to no. 5's. Distinct confusion if this is your first outing.

Fall leaf carpet can be a real disc-eater. On my round 1 here, I temporarily lost a disc under the leaves on no. 7. So too players in front of me on Day no. 2 (read on) on holes 10 and 16. One found his but the other could not find his after much looking. Some of us stopped to help.

The course is very popular and, because also rather cramped, it gets crowded. There was a severe traffic jam on my Day 2 outing. I replayed some holes from Day 1 just to get further back in the train where there were fewer folks.

Yes, I played the 18 holes over two days. Some how I managed to find the old-format map online versus the current format. Had printed the latter (is black and white) but managed not to pack the paper in my bag (frown). Was hopelessly turned around and wasted too much time looking for the next hole. Needed to meet/overnight with friends in the area, so gave up and came again the next morning with the current map.

This course reminds me of Burke Lake in Fairfax County, VA. Also very popular and cramped. One will always play it because it does have some good holes and the overall scene is pretty, but they both could do with redesigns that space out the holes more and potentially lengthen or thin out the trees a bit on some of the shorter or narrower fairways.

Kinder is a keeper though. Just not quite a jewel.

I enjoyed our round at Kinder Farms. Highlights:
-Good variety in the hole layouts, which means no real advantage to a single type of shot off the tee.
-I really liked some of the more open holes. They used the landscape and scattered trees well.
-I liked the different tee options on most (all?) of the holes.
-The baskets are really good. Can't remember the brand. I especially like that each one had the hole number on top.
-I loved the 18th hole. After all the holes through the woods, you are challenged with a long open uphill hole. Into a strong wind the day we were there.
-Navigation arrows on the baskets helped, since I'm from out of town and have never played here before.

Things I didn't like as much:
-The signs at the tees didn't give a lot of information showing where the basket might be. This wasn't as big of an issue in early March, but when the leaves come in, many of the baskets will be completely hidden from the tees.
-I'm not a fan of as many heavily wooded holes as this course has, but that's my personal preference. Also, having complained about this, I'll say that I really liked the way the woods are used on several of these holes, so this ends up not being much of a criticism.
-The tees are slick. I'd love to see concrete.

I enjoyed our early spring round on this course. I'll be back in the summer, and we'll probably play again, though I'll be sure to bring bug spray to protect myself from what surely will be a haven for ticks.
