This is one of the better courses I have played in Eastern OH and I can say I have played quite a few. One of the primary factors I'm looking for on any course is the view and this one doesn't disappoint. It's a gorgeous state park on a lake. The walk is almost entirely wooded, in nicely shaded forest land, featuring plenty of views of the lake and a creek. I don't know if we got lucky the day we were there, but this place was exploding with mushrooms of all varieties. I mean they were everywhere.

The course has really nice amenities. There were benches frequently. I was honestly surprised at how many they had. They had tee signs that included bag hooks on each one, which was a nice feature. I liked the between hole signage and never had trouble finding my next tee. They only have one set of tees, but they are concrete.

The course itself is a fun challenging woods course that will make you throw good lines without ever feeling unfairly punishing. There are clear lanes to everything. I like the greens that they have set up, as well. They used the natural features to make some cool pensinsula greens, a green with a creek backing it and several with a few guardian trees, that all make for more interesting golf. I thought that the par was challenging for a sub 900 player and that's not a bad thing. Most of the holes seem to be in the 300 - 400 foot range and made for maybe easy pars, but challenging birdies.

If I have knocks it is it did feel like the course was forehand heavy. Maybe that's just me. As a backhand predominant guy, it felt like I was pulling out my flippy discs most of the round. There is no elevation to be had and really no open fairways that I can recall. Neither of those things are bad in themselves, but led to what can feel like a repetition of holes until you get to the final 6 that start closing down towards the lake and spice up the variety.

They could use another bridge down along that creek, for sure. I hit that course on the day after rain and after one drive, you have the walk the length of the fairway to the bridge and then back down the fairway to your disc for many. There are also quite a few switchbacks that would probably play odd in a tournament.

There isn't a restroom, so go past the course entrance to the boat ramp. That means no running water either. You also have to cross a road several times. Be cautious as traffic does move fairly fast there.
