More Thrills in the Ville

Reviewed: Played on:May 24, 2022 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

~Fun approachable course
~Good variety and use of mild elevation
~Repeatable play, can throw multiple continuous rounds

Cons:

~Course has been open, but still needs some final clearing/cleaning up
~Awkward flow from hole 3 to 4

Other Thoughts:

The goal was to put in a beginner friendly 9 hole course on school grounds to promote family and youth activity. Leopardville is a fun layout with moderate to short hole lengths. A good beginner course while maintaining the fun factor for experienced players.

It's a new course recently opened, and for the most part is in really good playing shape. A couple of holes will benefit from additional clearing and limbing up trees......Hole 2 is a straight wooded line, but the fairway needs opened up a touch more, this can be a really good hole, but is the only one that requires advanced skill to throw and doesn't quite fit in with the beginner course vibe....Hole 4 is also a good hole with a tight dogleg right fairway, but the limbs on the trees lining the left side of the tunnel need to be removed another 5+ feet or so to provide a fair tee shot. They are currently too low to the ground.

Hole 3 finishes behind the abandoned roller rink, and you then walk around the parking lot across Hole 1 then cross the road to get to 4. Not a huge issue, just some awkward flow. The rest of the course flows great.
Nice use of mild elevation changes and playing along a lazy creek in a more open tract of land completes the course.

A very nice addition to Louisville, and compliments nearby Wildwood. After your visit stop by Unhitched Brewing to quench your thirst and enjoy the goodness that this small town offers.

A Top Notch 9-Holer! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 12, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

I can safely say that Leopardville DGC is one of the only disc golf courses in the world where the parking lot is located at an abandoned Rollatorium.

I can also safely say that a trip to this new Louisville gem will exceed your expectations!

+ One of the biggest standouts that will separate this course from others is the equipment. Each hole is equipped with a concrete tee pad and a beautiful colored tee sign. The baskets are brand new Mach 5's that have glimmering blue coats, making them easy to spot from longer distances. There is also a detailed information kiosk right next to the first tee.

+ There are at least a dozen red arrows around the course that make navigation a breeze. The course flows well for the most part.

+ While eight of the holes here are really fun, the stretch from #5 to #7 really stands out. All of the holes are pretty short, but the lack of distance is made up for with elevation changes and a creek coming into play on each hole.

+ There is enough variety to keep you coming back for more. Advanced players won't find much of a challenge here, but it should be an enjoyable round regardless. Great place for beginners!

Cons:

- Hole #3 is subpar compared to the rest of the course. It's a wide open 277 footer with no obstacles. The only redeeming quality it has is being right up against the rollatorium, which is a pretty sick backdrop.

- I mentioned earlier that the course flows well, but there is a little bit of a walk between #3 and #4.

- This is still a very new course, so it's still being worn in. There are some rough areas that will get broken in with time.

- Only nine holes, so my maximum rating would be a 4.0.

Other Thoughts:

Leopardville DGC marks the second course to be installed in Louisville, with the other being Wildwood Park (established when I was just an infant in 2000).

I would definitely put Leopardville ahead of Wildwood mainly for the newer vibe the course gives off. However, the Louisville/East Canton community should be thrilled to have another option to let it fly!

Just remember that this course is on school property, but it is open to the public year-round.
