Open but a lot of effort went in here 2+ years

Played the course:once
Pros:
+All concrete pads. Some are part of walking path. All level and in good shape.
+Nice baskets all in good condition.
+More elevation than I expected and they used it well to make blind tee shots, fast greens, and make you think more about many shots.
+Overall, this land isn't ideal for a disc golf course but they did really well with what they had to work with. I could tell that there was a lot of care put in here.
+A sign off the highway pointing to the Laurel Disc Golf Course. Another sign at the start with scorecards.
+Distance and hole number in metal attached to each tee.
+Easy to navigate and the course loops around back to the parking lot pretty well.
+Good variations in distance with a few under 200' and one over 600'.
+Decent for all levels of players due to the open nature and low chances to lose discs. Higher levels of players will still be reasonably entertained by the distances and blind shots.

Cons:
-Overall, this course is very open. Hopefully, they can plant a few more trees in the first 12 holes and create a few more obstacles. This is the biggest con here. The elevation and blind tee shots minimizes this negative a little bit. I didn't feel like I was throwing the same shot over and over like some other open courses.
-Could be very windy out here!
-There is a walking path going through the course. Look out for path users.
-Would be nice to have a little more in depth tee signs. They have hole # and distance on them but it would be nice to have a map to help you see exactly where the basket is on a few holes.

Other Thoughts:
+I am pretty impressed with the course they created on this very open land. This course type usually isn't my favorite and the score somewhat reflects that. It is a good design on less than ideal land.
+If they get some trees planted, that could increase the fun factor here. Just a tree or two per hole could do wonders.
+I don't think that I would take the time to play here again but I don't regret my stop.
