Vintage 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Tee signs on all but one hole.
-Old school cone-design baskets.
-Very nice cabins and a brand new lodge located in the park.
-Beautiful view of lake from course. Good use of trees as obstacles.
-Par 2s add to the challenge a little.
-Fantastic place to take children who cannot throw far.
-Park has putt putt and swimming area on site.
-Restrooms in the lobby next door to the park.
-The entire course keeps you very close to a set of monkey bars that kids can play on if they lose interest in playing disc golf.

Cons:

- No tee pads, but they really are not needed at such short lengths.
-Some baskets lean a little, and #8 is bent pretty badly. But, they all still catch discs.
-Very short holes (50-150 ft).

Other Thoughts:

This course was built in the 70's and the old school goals are interesting to play with. The old lodge where the course is located is abandoned and appears to be a candidate for demolition. The course is still playable, but the empty building is a bit creepy.

They have built a brand new complex next door that is really nice. I talked with the reception desk, and they said there are plans to relocate the goals in the next year to a new location on site. They said the vintage goals would still be used, and it would still remain a 9 hole layout. No word as to whether they plan to extend the length of the holes any, but I would bet the lengths stay the same.

I would recommend playing just for the experience if you happen to be in the area. I wouldn't take the scoring too seriously, but rather just play it to say you did. I am local, so I would not be staying there, but the new lodge looks REALLY nice, and there were lots of cabins on site that looked nice as well. It would be a great place to spend an extended weekend vacation. Especially if you have kids age 10 and under that you are introducing to the sport.

Tops 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 17, 2007 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun if your on the lake. The baskets are metal "tops", no chains just hollow empty upside down tops. If your camping and you didnt bring your basket it will pass the time. Right next to the lake so the scenery is good. Run at some aces!!! HA

Cons:

Super short course with POOR targets(kind of like object golf).

Other Thoughts:

If your out and about and you decide a family outing, its cool to bring the family and let them have at it.

short 9 hole 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

It will be a good course to work on your long putts, i believe the shortest i saw was 50 feet and the longest was hole 9 at 150, next longest is hole 8 at 115. This is also a course that may be good for young disc golfers trying to learn how to play. The lake itsself is beautiful, so you always can look over and see some nice scenery signs mark holes well, and able to see all your shots. disc can be rented from rec center (only if you are a guest)

Cons:

very short, uneven tees (you just throw from a sign in the dirt which may be on a slope). 6-7-8 all are smashed together (only bonus is not many people play it so you dont really have to worry about other players. Baskets are different then what ive ever played on before (pics to come later) Hard metal (almost upside down triangle) top. Had several shots that if in chains would of fell in...instead they hit off, and rolled down the hill (and could easily end up in the lake when rolling. You also end up playing right agaisnt the lodge and throwing at one basket that is set infront of a window (i guess you can see how this is aproblem.

Other Thoughts:

if your going out to lake murray to enjoy the lake, its will be worth to work in a quick 9 and pratice your shots, but dont make a special trip out to play this course not worth the time or gas money...it took me by myself about 15-20 mins to play all the holes
