Open and Woody

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 9, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

Best tees I have seen so far. Doesnt say much since I'm fairly new to the game and have only played a few courses. But, best Ive seen.

Tees are concrete and well laid out. Tee pole is wood and has a pictorial view of the current hole and the path to which the basket is located.

First two holes are flat and wide open, the only thing to worry about is hitting a passerby on the paved trail that follows the course.

Beautiful scenery when going into the woods at holes 3-9. Lines are distinct and the path is quite obvious. During the time I played the leaves were all matted down just need to watch out for the thorn bushes when a shot goes off course.

Great for families if you have little ones since mom and the kids can stroll on the paved path while dad plays a round of disc golf. Path is stroller friendly as well. Also, has a playground for the little ones too.

Has a practice basket on the side of hole 1 if wanting to warmup prior to taking first shot.

Most baskets are clearly labeled with the hole number. I think there might have been 2 that the number came off over time.

Cons:

Hitting trees is frustrating. When heading into the woods some shots are fairly narrow. Which if you are a pretty skilled player it would be a fun challenge. But from my experience some holes were fairly difficult to shoot without hitting a tree.

Only one hole I had somewhat of a difficult time finding the next tee. I think that was hole six.

A few shot you can't see the basket due to different elevation as well as the trees. So when taking shots your throwing right into the woods thinking your heading toward the basket.

But you have a visible tee so you have an idea of where your going, plus I don't expect every basket to be visible from every tee either.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, I enjoyed the course and would play here again. I would like to try it in the summer time as this course would be fairly shady after the first two holes. Plus you can bring the family too which is always a plus in my book! I took a picture of the first tee so people can see what they look like.

Other Thoughts:

Updated 5-17-2021 I'm still a beginner, and the course is a good introduction to the sport. Beginners are hunting pars, and as you get better, the birdies should come. The holes in the woods have some thick grass and sticker bushes. I don't react to poison ivy, so that may be a thing. The last two holes have a lot of sticker bushes, and I'm tempted to go there with a machete one day. If you want to play it as 18, you can play 1-9, then 3-9, then easily jump to play either 3-4, 6-7, 8-9.

All holes are par 3

The first hole is open except for a single tree on the left to capture poor throws. The second hole is also open, but adds some length and long grass to the right and now also the left

Then you head to the woods for holes 3-9
Hole 3 is a longish hole that makes you thread your way through the trees. RHBH needs to stay left on the drive
Hole 4 is a short uphill dogleg right. The better player is looking for birdie. The hole opens up of you stay right on you drive
Hole 5 is a fun downhill hole with a split fairway. A committed drive can get near the basket, but even a safe play can yield a par
Hole 6 is a long, narrow hole with a slight dogleg right. In my opinion the most fun hole on the course. A long drive down the left leaves you with a tunnel shot for par. A bad drive makes bogey a good score.
Hole 7 is another short uphill hole. If you can navigate the very narrow drive, it should be an easy par. Better players are looking for birdie.
Hole 8 is relatively flat. Not too narrow. There is a sharp dogleg left for the last 40 ft. If you can chuck a slight right to left 300ft, you'll be looking for birdie. The areas off the fairway are a bit dense with some sharp sticker bushes and ticks.
Hole 9 is an slight uphill dogleg left. The grass and sticker bushes are very dense, so a shot that strays even a little off the fairway could be lost.

Have fun!
