Pro-level course.
Cons:
More POISON IVY than shrubs or underbrush! This course is literally dangerous due to the dense clusters of it.
Monster MOSQUITOES in summer!
Dangerous due to poison ivy and mosquitoes.

Other Thoughts:
I didn't get to enjoy this course due to the hazardous lack of maintenance on it when I went. Please note that my last game here was a while ago and (hopefully) it got better at the course, plus I've heard that pros have disc golfed here.
Honestly from what I got to see this is an incredible wooded course with lots of elevation changes. I just don't recommend going in the summer unless you wear long pants and have a lot of bug spray due to the poison ivy problem and mosquito infestation that I witnessed. For some reason my friend didn't get bitten by mosquitoes, but I've never been swarmed worse or been attacked by larger mosquitoes. I stopped after 4 holes because of all the poison ivy and constant bites from mosquitoes. I've never experienced anything like it, which makes me wonder what's wrong with the park or local environment for the mosquitoes to be so large and vicious.
Be a pro if you disc golf here so that you avoid getting discs in the poison ivy.
If the poison ivy/mosquito problem weren't there, I would give this course a '4.0' review. It really is a beautiful course and designed well, but I wish the owner would spray for poison ivy.

Pros:
Lots of shade. Finding the next tee from the basket results in excellent exercise. Parking is convenient. You might see a deer, wolf or Bigfoot.
Cons:
1. Bewildering course layout 2. Climbing into ravines to retrieve discs. 3. Sticker bushes. 4. Poison Ivy
Other Thoughts:
I don't understand the fascination with playing disc golf in the woods. Yes, it results in a high difficulty level, and you have shade. But I don't want to spend my day retrieving discs from ravines and pulling burrs of my clothes. Or having to wear long sleeves and jeans in 90 degrees to avoid poision ivy. And isn't someone capable of finding a way to mark the path to the next tee? Sorry, I enjoy a challenge but playing disc golf in the woods is just stupid to me.
