Good Tough Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very well maintained course with a lot of variety; holes under the trees are completely different from those in the open.

There's a great river along one edge with canoeing and kayaking.

Holes are challenging but not impossible; you can play it safe and get par on most, or go for the birdie and risk landing in the undergrowth!

A few holes let you free up your arms nicely with long drives.

Hole 16 is probably the most memorable DG hole i've ever played; it has a sharp right turn through some trees and then drops 30-40 feet down to the basket. It's definitely worth playing this course just to try that hole; a perfect right-handed flick from the tee that fades right might just be the best shot you ever take!

The course is well marked and has pathways connecting baskets to the next hole to help you find your way.

There's other interesting facilities at the park; bike trails, etc to also check out.

Cons:

Finding discs can be tough in the dense bushes and trees.

Some of the open grassy holes are a bit boring without much challenge.

Trees are not well marked on the tee boards.

Other Thoughts:

This is a picturesque and tricky course with a lot of good challenges. The holes among the trees feel like a completely different course from those in the open on the grass. A few holes are a little repetitive but this is absolutely worth a play through. Definitely bring brightly colored reflective discs since you will land in the brush.

knoch knolls 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Updated Course, expanded to 18 holes
-Used to be a short little par 30 9 hole that was poorly maintained and over grown in all wooded areas rare to have a fairway.You would still risk losing a disc in some areas.
-First few holes start off relatively easy and then become challenging as the round progresses.

Cons:

-Before being updated, They had a putting pin/basket where you could dial in and practice your putting. Hoping that they do eventually put one in.
-Hole 18 is wooded and all uphill and the pin fall far left. Pretty hard hole to end a round on. Not pleased with it but I don't see where else they could have put it so we are stuck with it.
-Some of the holes on the course have two platforms/"Tee Boxes" to start from. Not sure if this was on mistake or on purpose.
-Wood stakes are used for hole markers but don't seem to be too accurate on the yardage. Kids/teenagers tend to go around pulling them out or kicking them over.
-Kids tend to leave trash along the course instead of using the many trash cans around.
-Kids tend to show up in groups with 6+ players holding up everyone else.


Other Thoughts:

-I don't mind people using pot but this course has been plagued over the years giving the sport a bad connotation. Seems more and more frequently you can smell it or see someone openly using it. This tends to bring local law enforcement around quite often. Also there is more than just the course at knoch knolls park. Many people are their with families to use the park and nearby amenities.
